Yorkshire artists salute Michael Chapman on I Thought I Told You

Tompkins Square just released a fab 8-song salute to the late Michael Chapman. Hear Katie Spencer's version of "You Say" below. 

Here's the scoop from Tompkins Square...

Hunslet-born singer/songwriter Michael Chapman (1941-2021) released his debut album Rainmaker in 1969 on Harvest. He went on to release over fifty albums and influence many with his evocative songwriting and guitar prowess. From heady jams to expressive ballads to experimental noise, Chapman’s work continues to inspire. 

Tompkins Square recruited Henry Parker to curate a collection of covers by working musicians from Chapman’s home turf in Northern England. With stunning artwork by local artist Bunty Marshall mapping the important places in Michael’s life, and package design by D. Norsen, this 12th volume of Tompkins Square’s Imaginational Anthem series is the ultimate tribute to a very dearly missed artist. 

Get a copy of the Michael Chapman tribute album "I Thought I Told You via Bandcamp (while the platform exists) right here.  Check out Katie Spencer's version of "You Say" followed by Michael Chapman's original recording after the track listing below.
