Crossroads, Tracy Chapman's second studio album, came out on Elektra in 1989, and it had the unenviable job of following a debut that had sold by the truckload and won her three Grammys, one of them for "Fast Car". David Kershenbaum produced, and this time Chapman shares the production credit, the first time she had taken that role.
It's plainspoken folk rock with a conscience, and nowhere more than on "Freedom Now", which is dedicated to Nelson Mandela. It earned her another Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Folk Album, and Matters of the Heart followed in 1992.
