Michael Chapman - Sweet Powder + Wrytree Drift x 2CD

2xCD + Booklet in 6 panel Digipack with sleeve notes by Andru Chapman

These two albums are part of a clutch of albums Michael made when he was between record companies and which he recorded for his own production company Rural Retreat Records. Rural Retreat West Virginia, on the old Virgin Creeper Line, was the subject of one of O.Winston Link’s famous “train” pics of whom MC is a huge fan. We made the pilgrimage on one of our US road trips hence the name.
