Leírás
New Age, Folk Rock, Folk, Folk Blues, Gitár, eredetileg 1974-ben jelent meg az album. Remaszterizált Expanded Limited DeLuxe edition CD újrakiadás verzió, 2015.
Leeds-born Michael Chapman – alongside Caledonian contemporaries, Bert Jansch and Al Stewart – emerged in the mid-1960s with his uniquely English take on folk-blues.
The era of the folk-singer-songwriter-as-pop-star was kicked off Stateside by Bob Dylan and Tom Paxton, and cloning soon followed in Britain in the shape of Donovan and Cat Stevens. But what musicians such as Chapman and Jansch then brought to the folkies’ party was guitar virtuosity.
This album echoes back to Chapman’s first EMI album „Rainmaker” and features Nigel Pegrum and Rick Kemp of Steeleye Span fame, and Maddy Prior and Bridget St. John on backing vocals.
Highlights include the brilliant and bluesy „The Banjo Song”, the laidback autobiographical number „Journeyman”, the glorious guitar work on „Party Pieces” and the often revisited „Theme From The Movie Of The Same Name”.
