| | Harry Chapin : Living Room Suite - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | Listening to Living Room Suite today, you'd never know that it marked the commercial nadir of Harry Chapin's career -- the songs have such touching and startling intimacy, and are so beautifully produced that it's just a damn imposing record, just in the listening. |
 | | Coming at the tail-end of the second disco boom, the cresting of punk, and the full flourishing of power pop, however, it got buried. |
 | | Of course, the very attributes that made Living Room Suite seem so dated in 1978 that neither of its singles charted make it seem completely timeless and enduring today, as a body of music and a personal statement. |
