{"product_id":"telling-stories","title":"TELLING STORIES","description":"Amazon.com\n\nWith Telling Stories, her first album since 1995's New Beginnings, Tracy Chapman returns to the spare, unsentimental feel of her early work. In doing so, she recaptures some of the urgency and simple melodiousness that made her debut a soulful folk-rock classic. There's maturity here, exemplified by recurring spiritual metaphors. On \"Unsung Psalm\" she imagines her funeral, singing, \"I'd have a halo and flowing white robes \/ If I live right.\" \"Wedding Song\" offers the plainspoken, devotional line, \"I reach out for your hand \/ For you I'd don a veil.\" The musical arrangements, too, are pared-down, with ghostly banjo, silvery fiddle, and guitar woven into subtle drum loops. Though not as immediately captivating as her debut, Telling Stories is a focused return to form for Chapman. --Lucy O'Brien\n\nProduct description\n\nCHAPMAN TRACY TELLING STORIES\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000046Q8B\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGRJ00600L_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tracy Chapman\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
