New Beginning - Chapman, Tracy (CD 1995)

I bought it for the great blues song "Gimme A Reason," but other songs are growing on me. The album is largely about positive thinking and respecting the earth.

This is one of those CD's that every single song is good. I have it downloaded on all my computers and a cd of it in my care. My 7 year old loves listening to and this is the kind of music that delivers a great message. This Cd is so spiritual with out that over bearing religious note. I love it.

I bought this CD solely for the one cut, (Give Me One Reason). Of course I listened to the whole CD, but this is the only one I listen to on a regular basis. The CD & the case were in good condition, if a little faded.

It is exactly what my brother in law wanted said he had been looking for it for about 10 years and could not find it so I orded it in about 10 minutes on ebay.

Tracy Chapman has always been a bit too mellow for my tastes, but I decided to give this album a try...I was not disappointed. Her unique vocal style and her musical craftmanship is very unique, soothing and talented. You can feel power, talent and raw emotion seeping from this woman. She is a good, talented female singer who has something important to say in each and every one of her songs by both, her music and her lyrics. Why can't we have more intelligent and talented female musicians like Tracy today?

this is an excellent product. The music is good and the quality is great. Anyone who likes Tracy will like this.

Tracy Chapman is a smooth voiced woman with soul at the roots of her music. I liked the way she tells the story with words and music that gets you in the mood to sway and jive .

I like the fact that a cd I've been looking for and not able to find in stores I was able to find on EBay. I really don't have anything bad to say about it, shipping was very fast, and it was in perfact shape thanks again

I already have this CD, but purchased it for a friend. I love her lyrics, the harmonies and her soulful deep voice.

LOVED IT!!!LOVED IT!! Tracy has some strange and wonderful lyrics, but "give me one reason" is absolutely unbeatable.

I love her music and I just love this CD...

I had the CD years ago and lost it! I had to buy it again, its that good.

If you like everything else that Tracy has done, you'll like this CD. If variety is the spice of life, this album defines bland. Her extreme positions are repeated over & over until they are numbing, not thought-provoking. I like an artist the tackles controversy, opposes the majority, and gives them hell, but Tracy, at best, gives them heck. Let's have some music here, not repetitive recitations.
On the plus side, she has an engaging personality that comes across in her performance. Her sincerity is refreshing, if not persuasive. If she gets some production help to be more musical, she could be dynamite.
