With Let It Rain, Tracy Chapman has found an almost perfect platform for her potent voice. She and coproducer John Parish have opted for a muted approach where guitars and tambourines stir among simple, unadorned rhythms. The singer's once boldly strummed acoustic guitar is here replaced by a more constant tidal flow, with handclaps, gospel-tinged choruses, and an open-barreled bass drum marking time. Chapman even goes trip-hopping in a strangely shadowy highpoint featuring her artfully quavering vocal melody. This is an awesomely crafted folk-soul creation for seasoned fans and for those who love Beth Orton and Norah Jones.
