Graham Parker.
Yep, though it could be Marianne Faithfull the way she sounds these days (https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2018/sep/22/marianne-faithfull-interview-negative-capability-album).
Mike Viola (who I would have guessed even if you hadn't had posts about him last week.). I could be wrong here, but it sounds a lot like him.
Graham Parker. I forget where and when it’s from.
Graham Parker's THE OFFICIAL ART VANDELAY TAPES from 1990, a collection of outtakes and things-meant-for-albums-but-didn't-get-there. Rereleased 15 years later, as Volume 1. There's also a Volume II over at Spotify, which until this moment, was news to me.
Error above, mine. My CD reads 2000, not 1990.
Great cover!
AllMusic.com has a good piece on the album; it was a bootleg that eventually was officially released: https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-official-art-vandelay-tapes-mw0000515457
I guessed Graham P. also too.
Graham Parker here, too. The weird thing is that I felt I knew this rather than guessed it, but I have no idea where I heard it -- it isn't on any of my G.P. albums or CDs.
Dave F
A lot of Townsend's things do well as ballads. I have an arrangement of the "Kids Are Alright" that sounds like Eric Carmen.
I found Graham's version of "Substitute" on the UK version of Burning Questions as a bonus track.
Pretty cool version!
Captain Al
I am going with Graham Parker as well. I've never quite heard Parker sing with such a high pitch which he doies at points in this cover.
