Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1969 album from the British singer/songwriter. A true stylist in his own right, Chapman holds a middle line between John Martyn and Bert Jansch with the provocative electric rock of Martyn juxtaposed against the traditional folk so wonderfully espoused by Jansch. Another highlight is Chapman"s lyrical/vocal style, which would appeal to fans of Roy Harper. Along for the ride on other songs are acoustic bassist Danny Thompson (Pentangle, John Martyn, Nick Drake) and electric bass player Rick Kemp (later to join Steeleye Span). All of the proceedings were produced by Gus Dudgeon who also did Chapman"s FQS album as well as David Bowie"s "Space Oddity" single and a ton of the early work of Elton John. Features six rare bonus tracks from the Rainmaker sessions, including three previously unreleased songs.
