It's been far too many years. I've just re-discovered her after I heard a 14 year old singing in Darwin with much the same voice. I went out and bought a Tracy Chapman CD and humbly offered it to her to listen to. Hope she is inspired by it.
Fantastic artist - wonderful voice. Her debut album is a classic piece of work and one of my favourite CDs. Crossroads wasn't as strong and a bit more stark imho.
