Free Music Review: She's Got a Ticket
Hit: 4 Stars

My listening to Chapman goes back to the time of vinyls, and if that makes me seem impossibly old, it's ok, the music was great then and enjoy it as much now. I can still remember listening to her first album in my friend's living room, picking out lyrics together.
This CD works well in that it pulls songs from different periods and moods, associated with different times in Chapman's career, and more importantly in the listeners' personal lives. The music sparks memories of dreams one held, ideals aspired to, people, experiences, even TV programmes watched and books read.
The themes running through the colllection- such as the quest for personal liberation ('She's got a ticket, I think she's gonna use it', Fast Car), personal integrity (Soul), love and the loss of it (The Promise)- can't not touch the introspective listener. The subtlety of Chapman's lyrics is also evident here: the line 'If you can make a promise, if it's one that you can keep, I vow to come for you' in The Promise evidences this clearly. Life is never straightforward for Chapman, or indeed for any of us. Things always depend on such a wide variety of factors. This is further recognised in All That You Have Is Your Soul, such a powerful song about how women often 'sell out' to expectatations of those around them, rather than doing that which they truly believe in, 'Don't be tempted by the shiny apple, don't you eat of a bitter fruit'. Even though Chapman's interpretation of the shiny apple may be completely different to any other listener, the principle remains. It reminds and inspires me to use my 'ticket', whenever I slip too far back into the old comfort zone.

A super collection, I thoroughly enjoy listening to it.
