 Harry Chapin Gold Medal Collection
All my favorites on a two CD collection. The only glaring omission is '30,000 Pounds of Bananas', but that one is always performed before an audience. This CD makes an excellent campanion to "The Bottom Line Encore Collection" (Harry Chapin's last live performance).
Harry Chapin was the most brilliant balladier of the last century, and this collection is a great tribute to this unique artist.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No THE ESSENCE OF HARRY CHAPIN
THIS ALBBUM EXPOSES THE REAL HEART AND SOUL OF HARRY, AND THE FEELINGS THAT HE FEELS ABOUT LIFE,AND THE REAL PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. THERE IS NOTHING PHONEY ABOUT HIM OR HIS SONGS. HE SINGS ABOUT LIFE---GOOD OR BAD. HE SINGS ABOUT LIFE AS IT REALLY HAPPENS!!!!!! A LOT OF HIS SONGS ARE BASED UPON HIS OWN EXPERIENCES. WHY DO A LOT OF THE BEST SINGERS ABOUT REAL LIFE DIE SO YOUNG? I GUESS THAT IS A PART OF LIFE. HE WAS LOVING, GENEROUS, AND FAMILY ORIENTED!!!! I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT HIM, BUT IF ANYBODY HAS REALLY LISTENED TO HIS SONGS, YOU ALREADY KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU HARRY AND FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This album is amazing. If you are already a Harry Chapin fan, you are going to love the awesome collection of music, and the sound bytes of Harry talking. If you have never heard of Harry Chapin before, this album is a great introduction to one of the best singer/songwriters of our time.

Gold Medal Collection album
 $9.55   
Harry Chapin's fourth album, VERITIES & BALDERDASH, was his best studio effort and his most commercially successful, working its way up the US charts and eventually going gold. Its success is attributable, in part, to Chapin's excellent batch of tunes, which display his trademark narrative sensibility (Chapin's songs often unfold like short stories), literate wit, and knack for melody. VERITIES & BALDERDASH also works because its arrangements and production move away from the heavily orchestrated drama that mars some the artist's other studio work towards a cleaner sound that highlights the fine songwriting.
Chapin's best-known song, "Cat's in the Cradle," is here. Based on a poem by the artist's wife, the tune is a year-by-year account of a father-son relationship plagued by the father's too-busy schedule (his ...
| | Harry Chapin Greatest Stories Live CD (1976)
Gold Medal Collection CD music
$9.85
Beyond his considerable skills as a tunesmith and the charm of his ragged, emotive voice, Harry Chapin was primarily a storyteller, and the appreciative, attentive audience gives GREATEST STORIES LIVE an intimate, fireside feel. With less emphasis on the orchestral arrangements that could detract from the studio work, Chapin and his band play with vigor here, clearly energized by the live setting. The best thing about GREATEST STORIES LIVE, however, is the selection of tunes, which plays to Chapin's penchant for the "point-of-view song."
Chapin's ability to invent a character and narrate the details of his or her life, coloring the scenes with details, metaphors, and literary flourishes is evident on "W.O.L.D.," ...

Today the most recognition the Animals get is "House of the Rising Sun" being played on oldies radio, but in the mid-1960s they were a powerful part of the British Invasion, often reckoned on a par with the Beatles, the Stones, and the Who. Like those bands, the Animals had strong roots in blues and R&B, but, in their original incarnation, they stayed closer to those roots than their peers did. This definitive compilation, masterfully assembled by the ABKCO think tank of Teri Landi and Jody Klein, shows the tough, uncompromising use to which the Animals put their American influences. John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" is recast as a raw garage rocker glazed with Alan Price's sinister organ riffs, and the aforementioned "House of the Rising Sun" is transformed from a traditional folk lament to an urgent, ominous piece of churning tumult.
Of course, the group skillfully expanded those roots (with the help of some great writers), and turned out ...

Gold Medal Collection songs
$18.55
Available for the first time on CD in Europe, 2-4-1 contains two classic albums from CJSS, ‘World Gone Mad’ and ‘Praise the Loud’. CJSS was formed by guitar wizard David T. Chastain during early 1984 with two other members of the band Spike, drummer Les Sharp and bassist Mike Skimmerhorn, and vocalist Russell Jinkens who had gained fame for his stint in local Cincinnati cover band Prizoner.World Gone Mad was recorded in late 85 and released in early 86. David Chastain comments, “These were the tracks we had been playing since the band's beginning in late 84. "Communication Breakdown" was really just a track leftover from our cover band days in Spike that always seemed to go over well so we decided to include it on the Cd. I would say my personal favourites on the CD would be "No Man's Land" and "Living In Exile." The solo sections are still something I play in my practice routine. The track “Destiny" was always a big favourite with the female fans. For a first effort I thought it was pretty impressive”.Praise The Loud was recorded in mid 86 and released in late 86. Chastain states, “This recording was a little better produced than WGM. Personal favourites include "Citizen of Hell" and "The Bargain." The track "Metal Forever" became the theme song for many radio stations during that era. "Out of Control" was usually the concert opener and rocked the house”.Considering both Cds hit in the same year, needless to say, CJSS was a hot commodity during that time. In 87-88 they worked on material for a third CD but Chastain shifted his efforts ...
