She started out 23 years ago&nbsp;in little cafes near Harvard Square, strumming her acoustic guitar and singing her songs to whoever would listen.</p> <p>Now of course,&nbsp;she can afford to hire expensive backup players and arrangers.&nbsp; But it is still the same&nbsp;Chapman we know and love.</p> <p>You can listen to these songs for their social message or you can just relax into their&nbsp;warm beauty.&nbsp;&nbsp; Either way a new Chapman cd is always a treat!</p> <p><strong>And visit her </strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.tracychapman.com/" title="chapman website"><strong>website</strong></a><strong>.&nbsp; It&#39;s way cool!</strong></p>
