Savage Amusement

Record Store Day 2016 Release. Album features Chapman, Tim Renwick and Andy Latimer on guitars. Keef Hartley on drums, Rick Kemp on bass. Peter Wood on keys and Leo Le Blanc on pedal steel. It was recorded in 1976 at Sawmills in Cornwall, Tapestry in London and Ardent in Memphis and produced by Stax producer Don Nix (known for his soul / gospel / blues work) and represented a desire to connect with many of Chapman's favourite Memphis recordings. A real stunningly 'savage' album, a real period piece and a demonstration that Chapman can do mainstream as well as the maverick melancholic material for which he is more renowned.
