Tracy Chapman: Just a Woman & Her Guitar

by   speeddemon531 , top reviewer in Music at Epinions.com ,  Apr 26, 2009
Pros: An astounding debut, mixing bits of folk, rock and gospel.
Cons: None worth mentioning.
The Bottom Line: Tracy Chapman's debut remains one of the Eighties' most solid debut efforts. With lyrical as well as vocal skill, this was the perfect introduction to a bright new talent.
Review: Can you imagine someone like Tracy Chapman becoming a star nowadays? Hell, it was hard enough to imagine Chapman becoming a star back when she actually became a star! Even though socially conscious music was more prevalent at the time of Chapman's rise ...

How to Build a Modern Day Folk Hero: Tracy Chapman's Debut Album

by   Pantagruel ,  Dec 12, 2008
Pros: skeletal yet tuneful melodies whose subjects alternate between social awareness and personal relationships 
Cons: maybe a little too pious for some people
The Bottom Line: Highlights include: "Fast Car," "Baby Can I Hold You," "For My Lover," and "Mountains o' Things"
Review: Twenty years after the release of her debut album, it is pretty obvious that this is where Tracy Chapman reached her creative peak.  Oh, there are probably a handful of songs she has recorded in the years since then that can be considered among her ...

by   fartzarellah ,  Aug 17, 2002
Pros: Naturally beautiful!
Cons: Could do without the make-up.
The Bottom Line: Some of the best music the 80s had to offer.
Review: A few of my thoughts when "Fast Car" became a hit:

1. Is this a man or a woman?
2. I like this song! All my friends do as well! And all we ever listen to is Motley Crue, Poison, Bon Jovi, and all those other awesome guys with...

Why NOT Now???

by   sibhreach ,  Aug 6, 2000
Pros: Chapman's beautiful and emotional voice, soft and soothing music, great lyrics with true meaning
Cons: somewhat depressing and not something you'd want to listen to "get you started"
Review: Opening with her beautiful and folksy guitar playing, Tracy Chapman is one of those performers you could readily see occupying a smoky, corner bar, in some little town...if she wasn't as well-known as she is!

Her first, self-titled album,...

On Back Streets Of America...

by   e_burrell ,  Mar 21, 2000
Pros: Some of the best used social commentary in Rock and Roll since Bob Dylan and John Lennon. Beautiful acoustic sound, Chapman's one-of-a-kind voice is mesmerizing
Cons: None
Review: It doesn't seem like it's been that long since 1988. I can still remember the first time I heard Talkin' Bout A Revolution. I was watching MTV and this small black lady with an acoustic guitar appeared and started singing. It was like an...

my first cd

by   wandajune6 ,  Sep 25, 2000
Pros: too dark for certain moods
Cons: easy to relate to
Review: Tracy Chapman's self-titled album was the first cd I ever acquired. I got it for my tenth birthday after months of begging. I loved it and listened to it whenever possible. It was the first serious attachment I ever had to a cd and it continues even...

I love this CD, although the lyrics always get me thinking

by   g23t54s ,  Nov 25, 2001
Pros: What a gorgeous voice, it will leave you thrilled
Cons: However the lyrics might leave you chilled: they are thought-provoking
The Bottom Line: Listen to it when you've got time to appreciate it and you'll understand why people say what they do about this great artist. It's full of raw emotion and passion.
Review: I first found Tracy Chapman when I discovered in my earlier teens that Boyzone didn't do the original for 'Baby Can I Hold You'. I rooted through the parents CD collection and dug this out. My first impressions were that Boyzone did it better-but after I...

by   m001 ,  May 12, 2000
Pros: One of the Very Best Debut Albums in Recent Memory
