Tracy Chapman is one of my favorite country stars. What does Washington Posts Emily Yahr have to say about her.
Wait... She thinks the song Fast Car never dominated the music scene because she was queer and black? I didn't even know she was gay until I read this gayass tweet.
It was her debut album in 1988 and it was (and still is) a legendary song. Her debut album was nominated for three Grammies! She's had so successful a career she has a Greatest Hits album.
Just give me one reason why WaPo would have this take?
Even Tracy Chapman praised Luke Combs version. She don't need lameass journos White Knighting her.
Yeah this song is alright I guess. Maybe if we got a White guy to sing it people would actually listen (said no one ever).
I haven't even listened to the Luke Combs version. Just no real interest for me. I'm sure it's fine though. Luke Combs is a big fan of Tracy Chapman after all.
