Editorial Reviews :
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.
Buyer Reviews :
If one could find beauty in sadness this would be the cd to buy. I found 'fast car' to be one of my favorite songs from her debut album because it stuck in the listener's mind and didn't let go. I LOVE Tracy Chapman but i have bought and tossed away most of her albums after listening to them. Two reasons. First reason: the songs in some albums were too beautiful and touching but after six months of repeated listening the songs were engraved in my heart and i didn't want to play the album any more. Second reason: depressing and/or 'message songs' throughout the album. Some singers like Tracy Chapman's 'Crossroads' and Sinead O'connor's 'I do not want what I haven't got' just touch so deep that one cannot listen anymore without becoming suicidal. However, with this album--Tracy has managed the impossible, to create a sad and ethereal-beauty which emanates from these songs without the listener feeling depressed afterwards--which is a great feat that she hadn't accomplished so well until now. BUY THE ALBUM....THIS IS ONE THAT I WILL KEEP FOREVER.
