When Tracy first appeared on the music scene in 1988, her self-titled debut album was heavily influenced by the classic singer/songwriter scene of the '70s and was a refreshing alternative to the over-produced dross that most of the labels were releasing at the time. 16 tracks including her first big hit 'Fast Car' plus other radio hits and great album tracks like 'Crossroads', 'Telling Stories' and 'Give Me One Reason'. Warner. 2001. Review: Some of the best work of a very special talent - Ever since I first heard her eponymous debut album, I've been in love with Tracy Chapman's work. Her unique vocals manage to sound fragile but warm, positive, hopeful, heartwarming and strong at the same time. It is a voice that draws you in to an extent that I've never experienced before or since: you forget that the world outside of your room exists while listening to her music and it feels like she's in the room performing just for you. But of course every great voice also needs great songs to perform and Tracy Chapman has these in abundance too. Her talents as a songwriter match her outstanding voice; she's a fantastic storyteller on the more personal songs and an equally good social commentator on the politically centred songs, be it the (at the time) changing situation in South Africa or life in the ghettos of the US. When she's singing unaccompanied, it's a spine tingling experience; but the other tracks are just as good, with the clever, sparse use of a huge variety of instruments only adding to the atmosphere she creates. Every track on this collection is excellent and worthy of 5 stars by itself, making this CD an essential purchase. However, that's only part of the story: almost every track on every one of her albums is of the same astonishingly high standard and you really should own them all. Review: Very good quality - In as new condition thank you. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00005NSPV | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,944 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 10 in Modern Folk 82 in Folk Singer-Songwriters 1,828 in Rock | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (716) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 4 3 00062700 | | Label | Rhino | | Manufacturer | Rhino | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2003 | | Product Dimensions | 12.5 x 14.2 x 1.3 cm; 98.09 g | ## Images ![Collection - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Cx7DbgGBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some of the best work of a very special talent *by A***N on 20 September 2012* Ever since I first heard her eponymous debut album, I've been in love with Tracy Chapman's work.
