Michael Chapman is a highly regarded singer-songwriter and a worthy guitar player. With a back catalogue boasting such gems as 'Rainmaker' and 'Fully Qualified Survivor',it's a mystery to all why he wasn't afforded more mainstream recognition.With his often quirky songs and vocal style sometimes eerily reminiscent of David Bowie,one can only assume that Chapman's hardy reluctance to bow to the commercial pressures of his record companies served only to afford him scant recognition from the record buying public.With a muse falling somewhere between Kevin Ayers and Warren Zevon,Chapman is a folk-rock,psychedelic jazz troubadour.A quality artist both then and now.
