True North
(Paradise of Bachelors)
★★★★
VETERAN British guitarist and songwriter Michael Chapman has released a brooding album full of memories, regrets and a keen sense of the passing of time.
Made up of four original compositions and cuts from the 77-year-old’s voluminous back catalogue, True North seems to exist in the same ethereal, late-night musical and cultural hinterland as Bob Dylan’s Time Out of Mind.
