About the Artist
Chris Newman is one of the founders, along with Greg Sage of the Wipers and Fred Cole of the Rats, of the grunge sound which originated in Portland and was later to conquer the world out of Seattle. His band, Napalm Beach, was a vital influence on all the Mudhoneys, Soundgardens, Alices and Nirvanas which were soon to follow. They recorded several full-length albums, of which two are available on CD on the Flying Heart label. Chris also started a band called Snow Bud and the Flower People, in which all the songs were like about smoking pot and so on; there is still a devoted cult following for Snow Bud, and the band continues to play from time to time. There are also two Snow Bud CDs on Flying Heart. Chris Newman recorded the solo project "Volunteer" in 1997, and soon after that he started going through a very difficult time in his life, when he and his wife, Valarie, were homeless on the streets of San Francisco and severely addicted. Thankfully they have returned to good health and a better life, and Chris has written a magnificent collection of songs depicting the homeless life.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Newman at his best!.......2005-09-07

Chris Newman has been one of the most prolific artist's from the P.N. West, ever! His pioneering of the "Grunge" sound testifies to this. His music has alway's been so "now" and about life around him, friend's and family.
In "Tarp Town Year's", Chris reveals more of his life than ever! His experience's in life, dealing with hardship's and his life on the street's, are revealed with savy in a way only this master of the guitar could ever do.
It is highly recommended for those who wish to hear the heart and soul of a man who knows. Be prepared to hear some outstanding guitar work, heart on the sleeve lyric's and great arrangment,s.
Without a doubt, a must have, if you know Mr. Newman.
