Free Music Review: Best Tracy Chapman release to date.
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is, in my opinion, Tracy's best work to date. The listener is taken from one emotion to another through Tracy's music. "One Reason" is impossible to sit still to. It has recieved so much air play that most everyone is familiar with it, but there is much more on this CD that deserves as much attention. "Cold Feet", "Smoke and Ashes", and "I'm Ready" are relaxing tunes with a serious message. There is something for everyone on this CD; a little blues, a little easy listening and a little storytelling, all classic Tracy. By far, my favorite offering by Tracy Chapman. A must have if you want to familiarize yourself with the music of this versatile and talented musician.Free Music Review: More Than One Reason To Listen To This
Hit: 4 Stars
It is fair to say that the sales of this CD were spurred on by the immense popularity of "Give Me One Reason". However, for those who bought this just for that song, thay have missed some truly great earthy music. The acoustic-folk aura surrounding this CD enhances every song. You won't find any toe-tappers on here however. The intellectually stimulating lyrics and comfortable tone of this CD puts it head and shoulders above any of the folk-pretenders out there today. Though "Reason" is definitely the highlight, "Smoke And Ashes" is superb. One listen to this song will almost make you forget about 'that other song' on this CD. The only problem with this CD are the songs' length - the longest being over 7 minutes. "Smoke And Ashes" never would have made it on to radio if it wasn't for an edited version. That's a small quibble though. This CD is very satisfying.Free Music Review: Best Tracy Chapman CD ever...
Hit: 5 Stars
Two years ago, I had never heard of Tracy Chapman. I was at my sister's house and she put "New Beginnings" on the stereo. The music absolutely blew me away! It is thought provoking, relaxing, and mood altering. Her voice was the most incredible thing I have ever heard. I went right out and bought this CD. "Cold Feet" makes you examine your own life, lest you fall prey to the "push and grind" of everyday life in corporate America. "Smoke and Ashes" is a haunting melody that makes me close my eyes and just "soak in" the music. The song, "One Reason" is one of my favorites. It's impossible to sit still through this song; you simply have to dance and sing to it. There are no fillers on this CD and every song is a relaxing experience that should be enjoyed by all.Free Music Review: Does not live up to original album
Hit: 2 Stars
Tracy never gets it going on this album. Chapman created a really good singer-songwriter album in her debut. Here, she just can't live up to that originality and verve. You know what I hear on this cd? I hear an artist who received a large recording contract to make multiple albums, and an artist who forced some output to make this session come together. "New Beginning"'s got Chapman's voice and melody, but not her inspiration. I suggest trying Catie Curtis--who just keeps growing as an artist; we'll wait for Tracy's next attempt and hope that she regains her fire.Free Music Review: the promise has great lyrics
Hit: 5 Stars
my favorite song on this cd is the promise. it brings back wonderful memories of all the friends i have ever made. in the song it says, "i'll hold a special place in my heart for you." i love it because this year, at camp, on the last night, our councelor played this song for us, and we all layed in bed that night and cried ourselves to sleep knowing that we would never see each other again. if any of you have ever had a freind that has moved away, buy this cd and play that song.
