T.C. OH YEAH. SO REGARDLESS, WE HAVE FORGIVEN YOU. SOMEWHERE OUT THERE IS A THIEF, EITHER ENJOYING MY DAUGHTERS CD COLLECTION OR BUYING SOME @#&!ING DRUGS WITH THEM. T. C. IS GOOD STUFF, GOT MORE COMIN'. .
BEST of her best
The album ranks in my top 5 favorites with 2 songs (Telling Stories and Unsung Psalm) in my top 5 favorite songs ever. It doesn't get better than this. Soul shattering and rebuilding. I'm a country white boy, go figure; who knew?.
Great sound
Unfortunately it's one of the few Tracy Chapman CDs that you can't download off of iTunes, so you'll probably have to buy the CD itself and burn it onto your computer if you want to listen to it on an MP3 player. This is a great CD. .
What can I say?
It's Tracey Chapman. . great from start to finish. . . a little bit of everything, in true Tracey style.
Not Telling Stories
I reach over and reset the track to hear it again, and yet another of her stories has claimed me. Much of Tracy Chapman's music seems to work best for me when I let it creep up on me; I find myself caught by a phrase she wove into a song, or surprised by the little inflections of her voice that reveal such a depth of observation. This is one of those albums. It's full of beautiful narratives that leave you wondering about the life behind the music. Sample Wedding Song: just exquisite blending of harmony and guitar, and such simple but profound emotion throughout.
