Let It Rain (2002)

Tracy Chapman
Reviewed by Kristina Feliciano | Oct 18, 2002

Details Release Date: Oct 15, 2002; Lead Performance: Tracy Chapman

Producer John Parish (Eels) is an atmospheric match for understated folkie Tracy Chapman. The songs on Let It Rain are typically personal and political, detailing love, death, and a box ''for downloading/All the secrets and the mysteries you've been selfishly withholding.'' But behind the plaintive vocals, moody electric guitars resonate. This is the CD you play on the drive home after the breakup, the pavement getting sucked under the tires of your fast car.
