The 75-year-old singer is dropping his final solo album released this Friday, March 27th. It's a self-produced set of 10 tracks pulled from his vaults, polished up from various stages of completion. These songs day back to his solo efforts in the late 1980s and early 90s, including sessions for Ready or Not, Long Hard Look, and The Shadow King Project. Graham finished them off himself, adding fresh vocals where needed, and his son Matthew helped as a socioproducer. He says they were strong ideas set aside due to tight deadlines back then. After decades on stage since joining Forner in 1976, Graham wants more time with his cars and his full-time dad. He's kept his voice in top shape over the last 15 years, with weekly lessons, no drugs or alcohol, blending seamlessly with his younger.
