Tracy Johnson<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This San Diego-based singer songwriter\u2019s voice in track one has a real unpolished prettiness about it, like a Caucasian Tracy Chapman. But track 2, \u201c(You Gave Me) Faith In Hollywood,\u201d is way too happy\/sappy\/syrupy. Unfortunately the rest of the CD sounds lackluster as well. \u201cBittersweet,\u201d \u201c\u201cHurricane,\u201d \u201cRuby Slippers,\u201d these songs are sugar-pop that appear uninspired and are without any real risk taking. I\u2019d like to see this gorgeous redhead let her hair down, drop the church special performer persona and rough it up. She\u2019s got the looks and vocal chops to make a better impression – now all she needs is the boldness of a star to go with it and shine. Hey Tracy dear, let\u2019s see you write a song about getting drunk after a show and having sex in the tour van. Loosen up, baby. The world\u2019s not looking for another would-be Amy Grant.
