Reviews
"...Chapman alights on a lyric of such universal insight that the world stops for four minutes while it washes over you....TELLING STORIES is an uplifting affirmation of eternal values...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...there's a comforting consistency about this album - you can hear layers of confidence behind Chapman's sound....Her silvered-gauze voice...shows no signs of stress....It's surprising how well she keeps running on cool.", "...folkish, watercolor-hued meditations on love and good ol' social consciousness....She remains an enigma: an intelligent, levelheaded craftsperson unable to convey any emotion beyond resignation..." - Rating: B, "...incorporates subtle technical effects and flavorings from electric sitars and uillean pipes into Chapman's neo-folk sound....mellow, yet intense and expressive...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...This is an album of honesty and compassion that will continue to have a shelf life long after the din and clamour of current pop fad and fashion have faded from memory...", 6 out of 10 - "...intense, folksy songs, voicing personal dismay and sufferation on a wider scale....consistently mournful, the music rarely developing beyond a polite skank..."
