On the Cover it says Howlin' Wind. On the label it says Howling Wind.

For most intents and purposes, Graham Parker emerged fully formed on his debut album, Howlin' Wind. Sounding like the bastard offspring of Mick Jagger and Van Morrison, Parker sneers his way through a set of stunningly literate pub rockers. Instead of blindly sticking to the traditions of rock & roll, Parker invigorates them with cynicism and anger, turning his songs into distinctively original works. Similarly, producer Nick Lowe gives the album a tough, spare feeling, which makes Parker and the Rumour sound like one of the best bar bands you've ever heard.

Complete your Graham Parker And The Rumour collection. The opening track "White Honey" on this his debut album sounds as if it could have come out of any 70's Van Morrison session after "Moondance" or if penned by Phil Lynott the same day he wrote "Dancing in the Moonlight". Between You and Me" may not leave much hope, but still is one of the best UK ballads of 1976. Back to schooldays" and "Don't Ask Me Questions" also are highlight, and though Parker has written quite a lot of good songs, this IMO is the best album-set he ever released.

Howlin' Wind is the debut album by Graham Parker and The Rumour, released in 1976 to critical acclaim. The Rumour are mainly former pub rock scene musicians, including guitarist Brinsley Schwarz and keyboardist Bob Andrews of the band Brinsley Schwarz; Parker's recent jobs included pumping gas at a filling station. The music is a blend of rock and roll, R&B, reggae, and folk music, behind Parker's searingly intelligent lyrics and passionate vocals.

Graham Parker & The Rumour. Produced by Nick Lowe. The waterfalls trinkling Like bells to my ear The earth rolls out before me through Smiles and tears. A country lost, a soul discovered The ruin that I once was will soon recover. And I know a howlin' wind runs through here Blowin' every day Yeah a howlin' wind runs through here Takes my breath away
