Long been a classic ...

... Is this CD that I bought back then in 1988 still in the vinyl version and then to my most played albums belonged. Tracy Chapman not only impresses with its velvety, yet archaic voice and minimalist (up to a capella) arrangements, but especially by their socially critical and thought-provoking lyrics that indeed come along rather laconically as anthemic, characterized but may also sustainable get under your skin as their top hit "Talkin 'Bout A Revolution" or the quite well-known "Fast Car".

This is one of those CDs that provide the proof that the class of music has nothing to do with her age. Good albums like this one from Tracy Chapman rightly remain in memory and are now in an era of globalized indifference may be more current than ever.
