I love Harry. I have since I first heard "Taxi" back around 1972. I have owned or heard just about everything he left us. This is a good overview of his work, with most of his best songs. Some chatter included does not hold up on repeated listenings and could have been dispensed with. This is the only Chapin I have on CD, but I have kept my vinyls and cassettes. All fans of Harry have a different original album favorite, it seems, and all of Harry's albums have a couple of soul-searing classics and at least two or three numbers that don't impress at all. One of my favorite Chapin releases has not made it to CD yet. "Sequel" came out on the Boardwalk label and not only includes that wonderful follow-up to "Taxi", but also has "Remember When the Music." It deserves a CD release. Is anyone listening who can make that happen? Harry, we know you were not perfect, and neither was any single record you put out...but you were a damn good man and artist, and we have missed you terribly. No one has emerged to fill your spot in our culture, and we suffer for it. Jackson Browne has tried, and come close...but no one has produced another "Taxi" or "Cat's in the Cradle" yet. This two-disc set is worth owning if you don't already have these songs in playable condition. Harry Chapin often erred musically on the side of excess, but when he nailed it, he nailed it good. In addition to the songs I've already named, listen to "Old College Avenue"; "I Wanna Learn a Love Song"; "Flowers Are Red"; "She Sings Songs Without "Words"; "Story of a Life"; "W*O*L*D*"; "Mr. Tanner"; "Corey's Coming"; and "Circle". This man put his soul into his lyrics and performances, and exposed it to all who would listen. I thank God I have had his songs in my life.Free Music Review: We need a Sequel

All of Harry "Mr. Storyteller's" Chapin's classics are here with the exception of one glaring omission, "Sequel". This song was the sequel to "Taxi" and if you play them back to back,"Sequel" seamlessly continues the story started by "Taxi". Sort of a mini series or music. At least "W*O*L*D*" and "Cat's in the Cradle" are represented here. We still love you Harry. You made us think. And Listen. You'll never be forgotten. Thanks for the music. It was great. It's a shame that it was cut short and silenced long before his time. Great tunes.Free Music Review: A Great Remembrance

If you enjoy the type of Music that Harry sang, then you'll enjoy this compilation. With Harry, you have to listen to all the words, as each of his songs tell a story. Weather each person relates to a specific song is an individual thing, and therefore some may enjoy his songs more than others.Free Music Review: The Gold Medal Collection w/ Harry Chapin

So many of Harry Chapin's songs are alike. If you like this style of music you'll enjoy this album. I really enjoyed listening to "Cat's In The Cradle", "Taxi" and W*O*L*D* again.
