GP's Song of the Day: Tracy Chapman
It seems odd that singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman seemed so revolutionary in 1988, but after a decade of overblown excess, a woman with an acoustic guitar was a refreshing change.
Fast Car was the song that (briefly) shot her to fame when she played it at the Nelson Mandela tribute concert.
More than 20 years on, it still seems like a great bit of storytelling (as well as a cracking tune.)
