...national origin is never clear, nor does her array of vowel sounds provide much of a hint. But her spiritual roots are in California. She claims to be adept at "Vibrasound, Tantric Massage, Reflexology, Chakra, Crystal Therapy, Essential Oils [her specialty], Flower Remedies, Colour Counselling-you name it." Personal growth, she assures the baffled George, "needs assistance. It needs sharing. Anything you want to share...
...appalled to hear himself telling her petty lies, mostly in an effort to keep her greed at bay. Meanwhile, she is a determined missionary as she rattles on about getting in touch with "the essential self."

FANS OFTEN PROTEST WHEN PERFORMERS move away from the sounds that made them popular. Well, TRACY CHAPMAN loyalists can't make that complaint. Even though she invited hard rockers like Vernon Reid, lead guitarist for Living Colour, to play on her latest album, Matters of the Heart, Chapman has barely moved an inch since her Grammy-winning debut four years ago. There is some good work on this new album, including Bang Bang Bang, a biting commentary on the causes of youth violence. Chapman's rich contralto remains as hauntingly effective as ever.
