Harry Chapin - Harry Chapin
Review by nicole dorman
The album Harry Chapin by Harry Chapin is a classic masterpiece that has stood the test of time. Released in 1974, it features some of the most iconic songs of the singer-songwriter's career, including "Taxi," "W*O*L*D," and "Circle."
Chapin's unique storytelling style and poignant lyrics are on full display throughout the album, which showcases his ability to weave together complex narratives that touch on themes of love, loss, and the human condition. His voice is rich and soulful, carrying the weight of his words with ease.
The album's standout tracks include "Taxi," a haunting ballad about a failed romance between a cab driver and his passenger, and "W*O*L*D," a catchy tune about a washed-up radio DJ trying to make a comeback. Both songs are prime examples of Chapin's ability to tell compelling stories through his music.
