HarryChapin.com E-mail List

Every so often, or when something comes up, I send out an e-mail summarizing all of the Chapin-related events I know about. Since there's no one out there actively promoting all Chapin-related events, it can be difficult for fans to know what's going on. With that in mind, some have found these e-mails a helpful way of staying in touch with what's going on.

If you signed up prior to October 2004, unfortunately, you will need to sign up again. Our ISP lost the database of e-mail addresses.

I'm not a big fan of SPAM myself. So these e-mail addresses only stay on my system; they are not sold or given to anyone else.

The Latest Release

Sniper & Other Love Songs   [iTunes] In 1972, Harry released Sniper & Other Love Songs. Thirty years would pass before the album would ever reach the CD format. Sniper was finally re-released in June, 2002. Originally given a working title of Sweet City Suite, the album tells the story of various characters one might run into in a city. The album features the original studio versions of Chapin classics "A Better Place to Be" and "Circle." But perhaps more importantly (as those songs are already well-distributed on compilation CDs), the album features seemingly lost Chapin stories, including "And the Baby Never Cries," "Burning Herself," "Barefoot Boy," and "Woman Child." Sniper is for the seasoned Chapin fan. New fans would do better to check out Greatest Stories Live. But for Chapin fans who have reached the level of the Dance Band on the Titanic album, this is the next step. Slightly over-produced and having a little of the "forced" feel that some of Harry's studio albums possess, this album does not capture the powerfully live Harry Chapin. Nonetheless, it captures Harry's great iconoclastic songwriting--Harry takes the story song to new heights here. But the album works best for those ready for it; don't buy it until you are ready to appreciate it!
