500 Greatest Albums of the 1980s ... Ranked! # 358 Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman

 

         'Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.'

This albu. sold a ridiculous amount of copies in the UK when it came out in 1988. It felt like it was Number One in the album charts for the best part of six months. These songs remain instantly familiar, but no worse for that if you ration your plays. I listened again this morning and was struck again by the minimal beauty and stark courage of these songs. It can still move.
