True North (2019)

"Longtime British folk bard and guitarist Michael Chapman found a faithful disciple in the much younger American indie folk musician Steve Gunn. After the unsurpassed album (2017), Gunn is once again in the producer's chair for successor True North. Such a young admirer seems to do Chapman more than good. At the same time you can hear what Gunn sees in Chapman on True North. This late seventies from Yorkshire still sounds profound in his acoustic guitar playing and vocals, even though his voice is worn out. He is assisted by two more contemporaries and legends, namely on pedal steel and singer-songwriter on as a backing singer. True North has a dark atmosphere with musing songs full of memories of the England of Chapman's childhood. The integrity he and his fellow elderly escorts still exude was sober and tasteful captured by Gunn." (Muziekweb)
