Until about a fortnight ago I'd never heard of Michael Chapman . Browsing a review of Glenn Jones's The Wanting , and searching for the CD on Amazon, the recommendation engine did it's usual "People who browsed for this also shopped for" and Michael Chapman's "Trainsong" caught my eye. Don't know about you, but I usually ignore this, but for once I thought I'd give it a try. How glad am I. For this record is a work of huge beauty. Chapman, now 70, has re-recorded 26 of his songs from his [...]

On Repeat: Michael Chapman - "You Say"
I have a nasty habit of getting stuck on a single song. Not sort of stuck, more like playing a song more times in a month than most folks listen to in a lifetime. My most listened to song of 2012 which I got on New Years Day has been played more than 90 times. [...]
Albums 2011 – Part One
Well, it's been one of those years. For one reason or another, my record searching out ability, and time or inclination to sit down and write something about records, has been seriously curtailed this year. And so it seems appropriate that the first two records in my list weren't even released this year. So it goes. The Obligatory Album From Last Year That I Only Heard This Year Cotton Jones - Tall Hours In The Glowstream Tipped off by the marvellous Song, [...]

Michael Chapman: Fully Qualified Survivor (Reviews)
Chapman released this record in 1970. It's been out of print on vinyl for years. It's never been issued on CD in the States. Oh, and it's also one of the best psych-folk records recorded. Ever. Michael Chapman, according to his bio, rose out of the Cornish folk circuit, which must have been a strange fit. His music surely has a melancholy feel that runs through plenty of traditional Cornish folk songs, but his biting edge and complex compositions must have surely made him an outlier. In fact, Chapman has been an outlier for much of his career, never [...]

[Milestone Treat: The Michael Chapman Birthday Celebration] – Trainsong: Guitar Compositions 1967-2010
The closing chapter in the Small Town Romance Blog 'Michael Chapman's Celebration' is here, and brings us to date, to the cause of this celebration. It took me three days to write these posts, but it was worth it. I have so much music around me, that I sometimes forget to go back to listen to [...]

[Milestone Treat: The Michael Chapman Birthday Celebration] – Time Passed and Time Passing
In his 2008 release, Time Passed and Time Passing, Chapman produced an album of songs that were never released before. As was described somewhere on the web (I spent so much time reading while I was making this series of posts, that I can't remember where exactly where I read it) – it sounds like an [...]

[Milestone Treat: The Michael Chapman Birthday Celebration] – Plaindealer
2005 saw the release of Chapman's new album in his own label Rural Retreat. The album, Plaindealer, is another set of songs, a more solid production, nothing flashy, just good songs and fellow musicians to play them. The album is sold only in Chapman's gigs and in his online webstore. The opening Streamline Train, a dynamic [...]

[Milestone Treat: The Michael Chapman Birthday Celebration] – Americana I+II
Problem with artists like Michael Chapman, which is also a blessing, is that their body of work is so huge, and so spread between labels over the years, that many albums are often unavailable unless you found yourself a battered copy of the original LP. And so, sadly I have to jump the entire decade of [...]

[Milestone Treat: The Michael Chapman Birthday Celebration] – The Live Albums
Chapman had several of live recordings. Here are three audio recordings, and one DVD. Pleasures Of The Street was a 1975 release, that gathered the best takes of two consecutive concerts that took place in Hamburg. As Chapman himself puts it – it's better to get the experiment live, and this album is a terrific evidence [...]

[Milestone Treat: The Michael Chapman Birthday Celebration] – The Man Who Hated Mornings
The Man Who Hated Mornings was the last album in that Decca trilogy, and was released in 1977. In this album, we see another lineup change, when Don Nix is no longer in the producer seat, a role that Chapman took upon himself again along with Max Hole. Also, his long time bass player Rick Kemp [...]

[Milestone Treat: The Michael Chapman Birthday Celebration] – Savage Amusment
Savage Amusement was a totally different ball game. The title stands for a description of anything you like doing that isn't good for you. Chapman described it as "An exercise in Chapman stealth", he wanted this album to be the album that will connect his eerie songwriting and singing style, to a more of a mainstream [...]

[Milestone Treat: The Michael Chapman Birthday Celebration] – Millstone Grit
Millstone Grit, released with Decca in 1973, marked a new beginning for Chapman who was looking for something new. He wrote this album and intended it to be "A Northern Six String Journeyman Minstrel". Essentially, this is a guitarist album. The production, big or small, that we know from his former four albums, is now gone, [...]
