Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
After the enormous success of her eponymous debut album in 1988, enhanced by her appearance at a Nelson Mandela tribute concert that same year, it was never going to be easy for Tracy Chapman to deliver a similar bolt from the singer-songwriter blues a year later on this, her "tricky" second album. On Crossroads Chapman plays it cautiously from a musical point of view, offering a slightly fleshed-out version of the smouldering acoustics of her debut. But Chapman's subdued sound can't conceal the unabated anger of her lyrics. "Freedom Now", dedicated to Nelson Mandela, "Material World and "Subcity", a scalding diatribe against racism and urban poverty are reminiscent of Nina Simone in their quivering indignation. After this album, however, Tracy Chapman had made her point and seemed to lose interest in her career. --David Stubbs

Sensational Stuff,
By Samm Kabagambe (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crossroads (Audio CD)
Took sometime without listening to this album, then decided to purchase it again, just to hear more of the magic, and it sounds better everyday. Bridges and Be careful Of my Heart are great tracks...the guiter quality and blend of instruments with Tracy's strong voice makes Damien Rice look like he got his stuff from this album.

A True Artist of "Keeping It Real",
By "jaqui-michel" (Newark, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crossroads (Audio CD)
Tracy Chapman is a true poet. When you listen to her songs you know those words and that music comes straight from her heart. There is nothing superficial about this artist. The highlights of this CD are "Bridges(the Best Tracy Chapman song ever), Born to Fight, All That You Have Is Your Soul, and This Time. She puts so much into these songs. As you listen you start to feel all those emotions she must have felt writing the songs. If you like James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and all the other "folk" singers, then Tracy is the modern-day artis for you.

Tracy is a visionary,
By A Customer
This review is from: Crossroads (Audio CD)
Every time I buy a Tracy Chapman CD I say, "this is the best one yet" and it's true. Crossroads is one of her first, the lyrics are enlightening and inspired. I highly recommend this CD.
