Tracy Chapman

: :One of the most striking debut albums ever released, this disc instantly established Chapman as a musical force, and with good reason. Immediacy, integrity of purpose, and unqualified artistry are apparent in nearly every song. And while 'Fast Cars' remains Chapman's best-known work, 'Talkin' Bout a Revolution' is that rarest breed: a song which is both topical and timeless. Any exploration into Chapman's work should begin with this at times stunning effort; it's a disc of remarkable uniformity and clarity that Chapman has yet to improve on. --Wayne Pernu

Where You Live
(more) »rank: 8442by: Tracy Chapman
:Album Description:For nearly two decades, Tracy Chapman has been a truly individual voice on the modern musical landscape, charting and artistic path that owes nothing to trend and fashion, and everything to personal spirit, intelligence, and integrity.

According to Tracy, 'this approach creates ...

Let It Rain

:Album Description:Tracy returns with Let It Rain, an album blossoming with stories that matter, songs that ring true, and of course her remarkable stirring voice. Elektra. 2002. :With Let It Rain, Tracy Chapman has found an almost perfect platform for her potent voice. She and coproducer John Parish have opted for a muted approach where guitars and tambourines stir among simple, unadorned rhythms. The singer's once boldly strummed acoustic guitar is here replaced by a more constant tidal flow, with handclaps, gospel-tinged choruses, and an open-barreled bass drum marking time. Chapman even goes trip-hopping on 'In the Dark,' a strangely shadowy ...

: :With Telling Stories, her first album since 1995's New Beginnings, Tracy Chapman returns to the spare, unsentimental feel of her early work. In doing so, she recaptures some of the urgency and simple melodiousness that made her debut a soulful folk-rock classic. There's maturity here, exemplified by recurring spiritual metaphors. On 'Unsung Psalm' she imagines her funeral, singing, 'I'd have a halo and flowing white robes / If I live right.' 'Wedding Song' offers the plainspoken, devotional line, 'I reach out for your hand / For you I'd don a veil.' The musical arrangements, too, are pared-down, with ghostly banjo, silvery ...
