What Are You Listening To? - Lovely Linda - 27-06-2014
I can't find the pic on here of me and Kenny but I have it saved to my computer. Just don't know how to get it here. The forum I was on has been shut down and they have gone to facebook. Seems everyone is going to facebook.

HARRY CHAPIN "short stories" cd, 1974
career stats:
studio albums......10
singles................12
this album: #61 US, #46 AU
singles:
"w.o.l.d"............#36 US, #21 AU, #34 UK
"mr.tanner".......no charted entry.
Harry's third studio album....
follows the same template as his others in that they are storyteller songs...some very good, some woeful IMO
i prefer him best when he doesnt try to sing, but rather like his almost spoken word stories, and this album is no different.
unlike the first two i posted here, this one is liked as an album by me...
personally, i would advise people to get one of those "essential" collective compilation sets as some of his work really isnt up to par...
i was surprised to find that duringhis life he was way more popular here in Australia than his homeland, also, was surprised to note that his only UK
chart entry was the "w.o.l.d" single which is from this album...
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: theres a lot of lonely people
best track: w.o.l.d
tracks:
1. short stories *
2. w.o.l.d ***

that one is coming out over the next couple of days mate..cant wait to hear "taxi" again, havent heard it in a long while,
his "verities and balderdash" album also...love "cats in the cradle" from that one also,again, cant wait to hear that track again also!
Harry Chapin...great observer of life and the mundane IMO, which he put down on paper in a thought provoking way sometimes, shame he died so young, he probably had a few more classics to write.

Mr. Tanner can do it to me
What Are You Listening To? - SteveO - 27-06-2014
True story!!!! We even mentioned all his hits and we both couldn't remember his signature song...Only Make Believe...I thought of it about two hours later...lol...my wife says I look better than Conway and I never ever thought I looked like him!!! I always thought I looked like Elvis Presley....lol...what do you think ?

HARRY CHAPIN "heads and tales" cd, 1972
career stats:
studio albums......10
singles................12
this album: #60 US, #36 AU
singles:
"taxi"..............................................#24 US, #40 AU
"could you put your light on please"....no charted entry
i think this is the one SteveO has been waiting for me to post....
well, you neednt have worried mate...
unlike the other three which hover around the like/dislike range as albums, this one clearly beats them!
this was Harry's first solo album, and probably his best IMO...but we'll wait until "verities and balderdash" gets an airing again as to whether i prefer that one or this one....
lots of his trademark almost spoken word,minimalistic music on htis one, and lots of wonderful storytelling....
"taxi" is my favourite on here, but several others are nudging it for best track every time i hear this one...
all up, a very good album from Mr.Chapin
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

best track: taxi

1. could you put your light on please ***
