Product Description Over the course of five albums, Tracy Chapman has sold 34 million albums worldwide, won four Grammy Awards and garnered tremendous acclaim from fans and critics arund the globe. Now Tracy returns with Let It Rain, an album blossoming with stories that matter, songs that ring true, and, of course, her remarkable, stirring voice. desertcart.com With Let It Rain, Tracy Chapman has found an almost perfect platform for her potent voice. She and coproducer John Parish have opted for a muted approach where guitars and tambourines stir among simple, unadorned rhythms. The singer's once boldly strummed acoustic guitar is here replaced by a more constant tidal flow, with handclaps, gospel-tinged choruses, and an open-barreled bass drum marking time. Chapman even goes trip-hopping on "In the Dark," a strangely shadowy highpoint featuring her artfully quavering vocal melody. The jumpy interludes on "Hard Wired" and the chamber interlude of "Over in Love" (which is reminiscent of the gorgeous interstitial tunes on Hem's debut) add color. This is an awesomely crafted folk-soul creation for seasoned fans and for those who love Beth Orton and Norah Jones. --Andrew Bartlett Review: GREAT!!! - If it's Tracy, It's GREAT! Review: Another Winner - I have long admired Tracy Chapman for her heart-felt songs that speak about everyday experiences. She is so genuine, doesn't think of herself as a celebrity, and when she performs, she's always in casual attire. The fact that she is a songwriter, singer, and plays a guitar shows she is a true performer--she can do it all!

Tracy Chapman's CDs are soul searching and beautifully executed
I love everything Tracy Chapman does and this CD is another example of her astounding talent and songwriting. She is always over the top in her heartfelt lyrics and musicianship.

Beautiful Album!
A great album! While critics were hailing her previous album "Telling Stories" as her most mature work (they would be right if "mature" meant sedated and monotonous), I would say that this one takes her sound or voice to a higher level and therefore earns the title as her most mature work. I hope her next album, which should be out soon, sounds as good if not better than this.

This album has some very touching and beautifully worded songs, if not dark and moody! Her voice fits the songs perfectly and some of the songs do stay with you for a long time. "In the dark" is a very haunting song I find but again suits the mood of this album. The music is also very dark, and you can imagine the state of tracys mind when she wrote these songs. To me this is what tracy is good at, writing beautiful, dark and brooding songs, about love, life pain and hurt, with an honesty in her voice which you cant find these days
