Free Music Notes for Telling Stories

Free Music Review: Not Telling Stories
Hit: 5 Stars

Much of Tracy Chapman's music seems to work best for me when I let it creep up on me; I find myself caught by a phrase she wove into a song, or surprised by the little inflections of her voice that reveal such a depth of observation. I reach over and reset the track to hear it again, and yet another of her stories has claimed me. This is one of those albums. It's full of beautiful narratives that leave you wondering about the life behind the music. Sample Wedding Song: just exquisite blending of harmony and guitar, and such simple but profound emotion throughout.

Telling Stories Poster

With Telling Stories, her first album since 1995's New Beginnings, Tracy Chapman returns to the spare, unsentimental feel of her early work. In doing so, she recaptures some of the urgency and simple melodiousness that made her debut a soulful folk-rock classic. There's maturity here, exemplified by recurring spiritual metaphors. On "Unsung Psalm" she imagines her funeral, singing, "I'd have a halo and flowing white robes / If I live right." "Wedding Song" offers the plainspoken, devotional line, "I reach out for your hand / For you I'd don a veil." The musical arrangements, too, are pared-down, with ghostly banjo, silvery fiddle, and guitar woven into subtle drum loops. Though not as immediately captivating as her debut, Telling Stories is a focused return to form for Chapman. --Lucy O'Brien
