"Mountains O' Things" comes from Tracy Chapman's self-titled 1988 album, and she wrote it alone, sings it and plays the electric guitar. David Kershenbaum produced, with Kevin Smith engineering and mixing, and the backing is kept light and warm: Paulinho da Costa's percussion rolling underneath, keyboards from Steve Kaplan and Bob Marlette filling in the colour, and Chapman's low, steady voice holding the centre.
