If somebody don't run up to Paris...

Tracy Chapman's debut album released today back in 1988. Recorded in just 8 weeks, and including the break-out single, "Fast Car," calling this album formative would still be selling it short.

I hope you've all had a lovely Easter Sunday, if Easter is something in your life. I hope you've had a lovely regular degular Sunday if Easter isn't a thing for you as well, of course. 🙂

And happy Easter!
