Not last night, but in the last week I’ve been drawn to the singing-songwriting of Harry Chapin :
Sniper and Other Lovesongs
Portrait Gallery
Living Room Suite
Chapin was a superb storyteller, and If you ever buy or listen to only ONE Chapin release it should be "Sniper".
It is filled with songs you will never want to forget. "Sniper" about the Texas tower gunman’s estrangement, "Better Place to Be" about the despair of the lonely everyman, and "Woman Child" describing the psychic anquish of a pregnant teenage groupie. And a more upbeat "Sunday Morning Sunshine" about the power of love.
