Chet Nichols - Time Loop (1972/2022) [FLAC 24bit/192kHz] Download

If you’re into smart and poetic Folky singer/songwriter stuff, then this obscure release is a must have because of the high quality of the songs and the driven yet pleasant way in which they are performed. But as several of these Chet Nichols songs also have doses of Rock, I guess the album could also be of interest to fans of Classic Rock and Folk Rock.’Time Loop’ has a pure and honest and at the same time slightly melancholic feel that’s reminiscent of James Taylor or, to name someone more recent, José Gonzales. And it’s just as good as the best material either of these artists released, which raises the question why this album didn’t get the attention it deserved and why it didn’t propel Nichols to stardom (*). One listen to the album highlights ‘Electra’ and ‘Who stole the Ivy’ is enough to make you understand what a gifted composer and lyricist he was. In fact, there’s only one average track on the entire album (not counting the superfluous outro ‘Quasar Sleeper’). Highly recommended.
