<<i would argue that tracy chapmans last album, "telling stories" was just as good, some of her strongest most powerful writing ever. its unbelievably good. >>
BRING IT ON, FIRETUSH!! I *really* wanted to like Telling Stories, but it was weak, weak, weak. I'm looking at the song titles as we speak, and the only ones I have ANY recollection of are "Less Than Strangers" & "Speak The Word"...the rest are so dull melodically that I just can't break through. BUT I promise I'll spin it this weekend, and listen for the nuggets I missed the first time around. I'm afraid that Tracy ran out of good ideas after her debut. (And I've bought them all). I would contend that "New Beginning" is her second best record, and even on that one the best songs were ones she wrote early on. Bob NP: Shawn, "Window To The World"
