Tracy Chapman Appreciation Thread

[Tribal Outkast]

Solidified as one of the greatest songs of all time

 

[levitate]

lol I'm "Connor" but you the one saying Fast Car is a country song. "Fast Car is a country song" said no one ever. Were you even alive when the original dropped?

Bye, Logan!

 

[Carl Tethers]

Da hell was it, new age rap?

I need to break down the melodies and chord progression for you?

Brehs listen to trash rap all day trying to school someone on music.

Country music fits into the broader genre of folk but not all folk is country


Only your ass thinks Tracey Chapman is country. On some "It has a I - IV - V chord progression so it's country" shyt


Listen to more music and stop making threads for daps

 

[Fillerguy]

This is a country song?

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Fast Car could classify as country imo… it’s definitely folksy
The music industry didn’t know how to market her and probably just dumped her in the alternative category.

I've got time today.. Break down the chord progression for me. Explain how the I - V - vi - II chords of "Fast Car'" home key make it a country song

Said it before in another thread, think its a great thing, exposing her amazing music to another generation and groups of people, all positive for her and bet she will reap the benefits of her song coming to forefront again

I don’t…

I don’t…

You talked all that shyt and now you're running. You know nothing about music

 

[UpThruDere]

fukk an award, is she getting a check from it that’s the only thing that matters

The rest of the album was mid. But this was a great song about how naive and hopeful women are when they start dating loveable losers and the pressures of mount on them in terms of family and finances.

I just bought the album on vinyl last week. It had a few good songs but was very well recorded and sounds awesome.

Basically pulled a

 

[Fill Collins]

Uhh, yeah?

She’s been a folk/country singer since day 1.

Folk ≠ country

Kurt Vile, Jose Gonzalez, and Simon & Garfunkel aren't country and they're closer to Tracy's sound (at least what I've heard)

 

[Carl Tethers]

Basically pulled a

"Stupid fukks - it's obviously country. The melodies and chord progression "

"Explain"

"No "

 

[Heafcliffe]

That sounds about white.
