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 should hear a lot more of her - her voice is second to none - deep and very thought provoking.
This album contains some of Tracys better known song such as Fast Car, Baby can I hold you - a full list of tracks on the album are as follows :
TALKIN BOUT A REVOLUTION
FAST CAR
ACROSS THE LINES
BEHIND THE WALL
BABY CAN I HOLD YOU
MOUNTAINS O THINGS
SHES GOT HER TICKET
WHY?
FOR MY LOVER
IF NOT NOW ...
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.
