Michael Chapman, apart from being a prolific English songwriter whose revered work spans four decades, is probably the best guitar smith you have never heard. While his skills are best evidenced on this album's predecessor, Rainmaker, the original songwriting and tight production, seemingly informed by all music that came before it, steal the show here.
It's as if every style of rock music were somehow harnessed and tamed into Michael's unique folk vision. The album sounds fresh . . .
