In anticipation of the Feb. 8th release of new album True North and in celebration of his 78th Birthday, Michael Chapman has shared a new track, “Truck Song,” via Aquarium Drunkard, along with evocative photos from his time as a photography instructor in the 1960s.
Preorder a deluxe LP+3CD+book edition of Allen’s radio plays and long-form narrative audio works—2.5 hours of cinematic songs, stories, and country-concrète sound collage. Hear “Pedal Steal: Chapter 1” via American Songwriter. Plus, TA Tomorrow’s Tamale t-shirts are back in stock, and Allen is Howlin’ in Austin.
This spring, Chapman tours in support of an album for the first time in his long career, with a full band. Gun Outfit hits the road in the Midwest and South with Steve Gunn in a killer Gunn-Gun attack.
Or, that time that Michael didn’t recognize his ex-wife. The unflinching, bittersweet “After All This Time” features the voice of UK songwriting hero and longtime Chapman friend and collaborator Bridget St John. Floating on a cloud of BJ Cole’s pedal steel guitar, it’s as weightless and lovely as “It’s too Late” is brooding and menacing.
