As mentioned below, her "The Burdens of Being Upright" CD has some really good material.

Her work is inconsistent but here's another two songs I recommend from her "The Burdens of Being Upright" CD.

"Mother Mother"

and

"Navy Bean"

Thanks you guys.  Been a long time RP listener/supporter, but this was my first time hearing this tune.  My M.O. would be to go get more of this artist, but I'll stop at "Something Beautiful" based on your leg work!  Thanks.

Sadly, I have to agree.  This song was a dandy, but the only standout from this album.

 This is one of the songs that hooked me on Radio Paradise.

I think this song is a gem. And by that I mean i discovered it on RP, gave it a 9, and have searched the Tracy Bonham catalog for others, but have found only rocks. Great song, but for me its a one-off from this artist. Have yet to hear another from her I cared for.

I was pleased when she left her opening voice register and found her 'real' voice

TRACY BONHAM

COPLEY PLAZA - July 2005

In that pose looks a lot like KT Tunstall, also a good singer/songwriter.

the E guitar is not simply an instrument
it is rather a body
alike body formed itself in space and time
this represents a relationship with you
same with the E Bass Guitar
sane teaching the some bodys
to renew
a clue in music

and also for those who do not want
to have a thing to do with it
the shape of it
appears male or female
so this may be hypothesis
that an instrument developed
by  a makers mind
and even with a moral
training
a schoolarship could be tremendous awesome
or not at all
the pupil
expertises flaw and flow
like alice in a fairy
dealing the little to less invention
what - the first  and often a virgin anoysence
of touching frails could mean .these days
a BBC broadcasting event ...
of rather selfs  or made with the philosophies of adhearend
any  pupil  dreams ..of a river that runs dry
and therefore matters an awfull boredom
pretending to have moral and knowledge
of the stealthy circumstances - while listening to it.
the instrument liquouered
in colors of some radiance
later on it vanished in the spheres
an consequently the statistic is with the one
who is to find a measureable price in it all
if sane or not sane
music live on
blog or unblog the informational world

maybe for me and my daughter..

So, it's 11:52 here in the NY suburbs, and I've been sitting in my backyard with my iPhone headphones playing RP for over 40 minutes. I'm wondering if I should've instead gone to the Tracy Bonham show down in Manhattan this evening rather than opting to park myself in a chair, with mosquitoes circling, to search the heavens for the just past-peak Perseid meteor show. She's probably on stage right now & I have a sheet wrapped around me to stave off the feeding frenzy. It's getting cooler and damp.

Where are the shooting stars? Am I too late? Are they over? Not one? I hate second guessing my decisions. I crane my neck skyward. My arm is going numb from the awkward position needed to keep the sheet from unravelling. I am losing faith in the moment.

Suddenly, a streak of cosmic dust blasts across the sky in a long, but fading blaze of light - just as "Something Beautiful" begins playing.

I smile slowly.

Her lyrics say,

"But I wait 
I’m sinking in my skin 
And I wait 
My heart is wearing thin 
‘Cause I’m looking for 
Something beautiful"

Saw one. Something beautiful. I'm done. Time for bed. Thanks Tracy. Maybe next time.

Thanks RP.

Thank God. SLAP!!

Since you asked — no I can't sing. I mean, I REALLY can't sing. I took voice lessons as a girl, and they barely made a dent in my horribly off-key pitch. Which is one of the reasons I never tried to make my living as a singer.

What difference on earth does it make to the fact that I don't particularly like this song? There are plenty of songs I like and a lot that I love. I don't see the correlation between my inability to sing and my ability to know what music I like and don't like. Since I've established that I can not sing, does that mean the praise I've given to other artists is invalid?

You sound jealous. Do you sing? For that matter - what DO you do? How good are you at that, whatever it is? Good enough for national recognition? If so, why haven't I heard of you? Or do you use your real name when you go up for all your awards? I guess you can tell I doubt you are at the level you would require of singers to be above your criticism. Must be some kind of freakin' expert or something.

PS: I am not a Tracy B fan - I just don't like your snottiness.

Ever since I saw Tracy Bonham support the Blue Man Group (I had never heard of her before that) she has become one of my favorite artists. 

While this song is not a 9 or 10, it has still become one of my all time favorites.  I'm always happy to here this!  A firm 8.
