Title: essential folk songs from an essential singer
Review: Harry Chapin was one of the most remarkable musical performers of this (or any) age: musician, songwriter, political activist... there wasn't much he didn't do. This album presents the man in concert (and at his peak, he was doing some 200 of them a year, most for charitable causes), where his warmth and humor come shining through.Laugh along with the different endings of "30,000 Pounds of Bannanas" and enjoy the revised opening of "I Wanna Learn a Love Song." Chapin's best songs are his bittersweet ones of missed opportunities, though, and this album has 'em in spades: W.O.L.D, Taxi, Cat's in the Cradle, Mr. Tanner (one of the most heartwrenching songs in the canon), and A Better Place to Be. A fine collection of material from a beloved performer.
