Sand And Water

One of America's finest undiscovered singer-songwriters, Chapman lost her husband to cancer in 1995, and this emotionally rich collection details her process of loss, reconciliation, and healing. Jim Ed Norman's strong production ranges from piano-based ballads ("The Color of Roses,""No One Knows But You") to exuberant rootsy pop (lead single"Happy Girl,""All the Time in the World"). This is music with a tender grasp on the big picture.
