2nd July 1988- On this Day # Tracy Chapman

 
This album began a three week spell at the top of the UK album charts in 1988. For anybody who was of age in the UK at round about this time it was everywhere. It sold in droves. It's not groundbreaking or innovative but it is heartfelt. I like this one and its sentiment. I haven't heard it for years, Fast Car is the one that generally gets played. I'm listening to it now for the first time for years and it sounds alright to me.   It's the kind of song I'd like to write. Absolutely transparent in terms of its message.Would that what she was singing about actually happened.
