Michael Chapman
'Rainmaker'
Harvest, UK, 1969
SHVL 755
ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECEIVED at the time of release and arguably one of the best works from this highly appreciated folk rocker. The music here is tight and forceful folk psych with solid support from a great backing unit including guitarist Clem Clempson (from Colosseum), Rick Kemp, Barry Morgan, Danny Thompson, Morman Haines and Anysley Dunbar. Chapman's voice is superlative throughout and the songwriting is really quite extraordinary placing him firmly in the upper echelons of UK singer/songwriters like Nick Drake, Donovan, Elton John and Keith Christmas.
Great album and highly recommended. Produced by Gus Dudgeon.
