A Charity acquistion but not one that counts in my yearly list as this one was purchased by Mrs CC.
Like most folk I suspect I was aware of her eponymous 1998 debut album ( Tracy Chapman not Mrs CC!)but nothing else. Collection a compilation from 2001 contains 4 tracks from that debut album, 3 from Crossroads (1989), 2 from Matters of the Heart (1992). 4 from New Beginning (1995) and 3 from Telling Stories (2000).
This CD then saves us the bother of tracking them all down.
The two that most caught my attention after an initial play were Give Me One Reason from New Beginning and All I Have Is Your Soul from Crossroads. Perhaps these two require further attention.
I have listened to both of today's tracks - file under perfectly pleasant
ReplyDeleteThat's a disservice to your first track, it's actually quite good.
DeleteAside from the disappointment that, despite the title, your post was not a tribute to the lead of The Prinitives, I agree with George that this was perfectly pleasant, bordering on good.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t realise that Tracy had released so many questions.
Of course the burning question triggered by your opening paragraph is, “when can we expect the debut platter from Mrs. CC?!”
