Buju
Banton talks about his favorites albums of
all time, the 4th one is Tracy Chapman's debut album!:
"My number four album of all time is the [first]
album made by Tracy Chapman. In "Fast Car"
and songs like "Sorry," she talks about
the political landscape of the time, the economic
climate of the times. You never hear no American ever
sing [about] these issues again. There hasn't been
anyone who has been so soulful and tried to find what
makes the human clock tick. There hasn't been anyone
who looked and said "Let's give the world a piece
of my heart from the depths of my soul." That's
one of my all time favorite albums. "
This unique experience was contributed to Ari Bhod
by one of the world's most talented songwriters performing
today, Tracy Chapman.
The
winner of this auction will win 4 tickets to ANY Tracy
Chapman concert in the month of October, 2005 and
