Free Music Review: Where Have All The Prophets Gone?
Hit: 5 Stars
Tracy Chapman's first album is a rare classic. Each song tells a story, and alot of subject matter is covered. Everything from love, heartbreak, politics, fascism, poverty, and spousal abuse. Wow, take a deep breathe. I like how each song tells a story, almost like a painting. The song "Talkin' 'Bout A Revolution" kicks off the album. This song reminds me how naive we all were in 80's, thinking this world would or could change for the better. Ending poverty sounds like an ideal concept but it's like fighting the powers that be, and actually things seem like they have gotten worse since 1988. The rich get richer and the poorer get poorer. The whole concept of this album that I think Tracy Chapman was trying to convey is hope. Trying to come from nothing and become something, anything. Build from the ground up. I dedicate "Mountains O' Things" to Oprah. When I heard the song recently it reminded me of her. Like the lyric "draggin' my furs on the ground". It really makes a clear statement of fascism and how we all are caught up in the rat race called life. The deep subject matter Tracy Chapman sings about is what makes her Tracy Chapman. It's pretty dark but she tells a story and makes it beautiful music.
Tracy Chapman Poster
One of the most striking debut albums ever released, this disc instantly established Chapman as a musical force, and with good reason. Immediacy, integrity of purpose, and unqualified artistry are apparent in nearly every song. And while "Fast Cars" remains Chapman's best-known work, "Talkin' Bout a Revolution" is that rarest breed: a song which is both topical and timeless. Any exploration into Chapman's work should begin with this at times stunning effort; it's a disc of remarkable uniformity and clarity that Chapman has yet to improve on. --Wayne PernuAlternative Rock Music CDs
