Replay - A Focus on Political Folk Singer Tracy Chapman

Songs for the Revolution does focus on Artists for the Revolution. This week with American Political Folk Singer, Tracy Chapman who's debut album really framed the struggle unfolding in the US with songs like "Across The Lines" "Behind The Wall", "Talking 'Bout A Revolution". Her songs paint a picture of those times just after Reaganomics and in to the George Bush senior era. Clearly her songs remain pertinent today, Luke Combs has just covered Fast Car, taking the song to Number One on the Country Charts.
