I loved "Fast Car" when it came out, and bought this album on vinyl. I listened to it until the grooves wore out! Hearing this CD was like stepping back to 1988, when I had a fast car, and was ready to go anywhere. What a voice. And such real lyrics. She told stories that made you feel like she was in your life at that moment, and that by hearing it through music, you could change your circumstances. Love this CD. Love Chapman!

I originally bought this CD back in the 80s, and while living near South-Central LA, found the songs to be honest, sensitive and a bit sad that there is so much truth in the words. It's one of my favorite CDs. Hopefully someday we can look back and say that things are much different now.
March 25, 2009, Jay Leno and his producers tend to favor Adult Alternative bands or similar individual artists for the final few minutes. I think this is a smart move because this genre is where you will find the better musicians and recording artists that are singer songwriters. Tonight's set featured what apparently was described as an indie band. The group consisted of maybe eight players all in varied garb somehow meshing inexplicably into a credible color scheme. They went right into Tracy Chapman's Talkin Bout a Revolution and although I was surprised to hear Tracy's memorable song from this explosive and much loved debut album covered as such,it was not a bad cover. The indie band did a great job but there is no singer songwriter quite like Tracy Chapman. I started listening to her signature song Fast Car which is on this album back in 1988 and even today it is so good that it is addictive. Baby Can I Hold You never stays in the case either. Music critics in 1988 thought protest music when they evaluated Tracy Chapman but I have to say she never impressed me as being insistent or aggressive about things. I was so taken aback by her strikingly beautiful material and vocals that I just considered her to be a moving and evocative singer songwriter. It's funny but I have this album on a cassette and I happen to own a Walkman. So I hook up the player to a sub woofer and shoot Tracy's music through portable speakers. I go through all that trouble when I want to hear some fine music on an old media and Tracy Chapman is more than worth it. Purchasing Tracy Chapman I think with no thought to her debut music not being current will complement your library to the highest level of excellence. I do not know if she is touring this summer but if she comes to Jones Beach I'm there early.

I really enjoy listening to this CD. The radio doesn't play nearly enough Tracy Chapmans songs. I have only ever heard 2 played on the radio and I listen to a wide variety of music. I'd say that I definitely got my moneys worth. And as always the delivery time was excellent.
Tracy Chapman's first album is a rare classic. Each song tells a story, and alot of subject matter is covered. Everything from love, heartbreak, politics, fascism, poverty, and spousal abuse. Wow, take a deep breathe. I like how each song tells a story, almost like a painting. The song "Talkin' 'Bout A Revolution" kicks off the album. This song reminds me how naive we all were in 80's, thinking this world would or could change for the better. Ending poverty sounds like an ideal concept but it's like fighting the powers that be, and actually things seem like they have gotten worse since 1988. The rich get richer and the poorer get poorer. The whole concept of this album that I think Tracy Chapman was trying to convey is hope. Trying to come from nothing and become something, anything. Build from the ground up. I dedicate "Mountains O' Things" to Oprah. When I heard the song recently it reminded me of her. Like the lyric "draggin' my furs on the ground". It really makes a clear statement of fascism and how we all are caught up in the rat race called life. The deep subject matter Tracy Chapman sings about is what makes her Tracy Chapman. It's pretty dark but she tells a story and makes it beautiful music.
