'Tracy Chapman' by Tracy Chapman is my all time favourite album of all times. Although I only purchased it on CD recently - it is the most played Cd in my collection.
Tracy Chapman is one of those artists we rarely hear of these days - but in my eyes we shoulf hear a lot more of her - her voice is second to none - deep and very thought provoking.
This album contains some of Tracy's better known song such as Fast Car, Bbay can i hold you - a full list of tracks on the album are as follows :
1. TALKIN' BOUT A REVOLUTION 2. FAST CAR 3. ACROSS THE LINES 4. BEHIND THE WALL 5. BABY CAN I HOLD YOU 6. MOUNTAINS O' THINGS 7. SHE'S GOT HER TICKET 8. WHY? 9. FOR MY LOVER 10. IF NOT NOW ... 11. FOR YOU
Each of these tracks will send you into a though provoking spin - the lyrics are all related to real life - one talks about domestic abuse and is in my eyes a really sad and distrubing song - but brilliantly written and sung.
Although this album was released in 1988 - it is one of those timeless classics.
