Two terrific HARRY CHAPIN ALBUMS now a set. DANCE BAND IS HIS MASTERPIECE!!!!
DANCE BAND ON THE TITANIC is by far Harry Chapin's most complex, diverse & most satisfying record ever! LIVING ROOM SUITE is really darn good too and to have them as one set is a most have. The songs on Dance Band includes Mercenaries, about a soldier seeking a prostitute to help him forget what he is doing, WE GREW UP A LITTLE BIT about a couple lives that grow apart over the years, Manhood tells of a young man's first time with a woman (think Summer of 42) and a major lesson he learns here, I Wonder What Happened To Him about a man finding his lover's photo of her ex & the thoughts it creates in him, Mismatch concerns a gentle giant of a man who's woman wants rough sex instead of the tenderness he craves, Dance Band On the Titanic about facing adversities, and his masterpiece There Only Was One Choice a song of a singer explaining what the desire to sing & perform means to artist. LIVING ROOM SUITE has a song about the difference we teach boys vs girls, Flowers Are Red follows a child learning to curve his artistic vision to the teachers desires, It Seems You Only Love Me When It Rains about a lover who only calls when they are going through bad times...there are others, but this gives you an idea of what contemporary folk/pop music was in the 70s!
