Give Me One Reason - Joe Bonamassa & Robert Cray - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Give Me One Reason" is a song by American singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman. Released on November 19, 1995, as the lead single from her fourth album New Beginning, the track became one of her most successful, reaching Number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song in 1997. Internationally, it also garnered acclaim and chart success. Musically speaking, "Give Me One Reason" is anchored in a classic blues format with its prominent guitar riff and shuffling rhythm. Tracy Chapman's raw and expressive vocals capture the essence of blues, making a dramatic departure from the folk-pop style she was primarily known for. Its lyrics serve as a plea for rekindling love, with the narrator asking for one reason to stay in the relationship. Over the years, the song has been covered by multiple artists, including Kelly Clarkson, Ruth, Black Stone Cherry, and blues virtuoso Joe Bonamassa, who joined Lee Ritenour for an electrifying version on the jazz guitarist's 2010 album, 6 String Theory.
