I think his name is Jamie Walters.  All I know about his solo career is
that he covered Graham Parker's "Release Me".  I can't think of any
other covers of one of Parker's recent songs; Marty Jones's "You Can't
Take Love for Granted" is the only one that comes to mind, and Parker's
version was released over fifteen years ago.
