ROGER CHAPMAN - Blind Willie McTell (2002)

I was very happy to find this. I loved Roger Chapman ever since I heard  Family's Entertainment album way back in 1967. His voice just does it for me. It has been said his voice is just like a 'bleeting goat' if that is the case, you can call me Billy.

This is a fabulous rendition and if you like it there are several other great versions on Youtube from more recentlly. The video is taken from a concert in Newcastle in 2002.

The next one is by Ex Rolling Stones Guitarist Mick Taylor with another great version.  Is there life after the Stones?, well you bet there is!  This is good too!  and is from a video recorded at Rockpalast Germany in 2009.

gathers no moss!

WEDNESDAY CLUB - Family - Weaver's Answer

Roger Chapman and Family Wednesday Club

Midweek crisis? Don't panic, come to 'WEDNESDAY CLUB' it won't solve your money worries but you can 'Max out' on musical pleasure.

FAMILY - Weaver's Answer (1968)

Who has the greatest rock voice of them all? Is it Van Morrison, Rod Stewart, Dan MacCaffety, Jo Cocker, Robert Plant, Chris Cornell, I don't hear the name Roger Chapman and I am asking the question why? His voice is pure rock, it is so different but distinctive....some say it is like a bleating sheep, these people should be flocked up, sheared and made to listen continually to Glee's Greatest Hits as punishment (no disrespect intended to our younger followers). I loved Family the first time I heard them and always bought their albums until they broke up in the 70s. Roger Chapman continues to make records to this day, check him out.

'The Weavers Answer' from their Entertainment album was one of those records that was always first on after a visit to the pub, rushing home for a fuelled musical session. 'I'm first!'.

                                                   'Entertainment'     (What a great Cover)

I remember when they released 'No Mules fool' in 1970, I bought 5 copies and gave them to my best loved friends. It is still one of my favourites and I have left a copy at the end of this post. Family are there to be loved and shared.

Getting hold of any 'Best of Family' albums will be time and effort very well spent, great stuff!!!
