 The Crossroads
The crossroads is the most popular place to perform a specific hoodoo crossroads ritual to learn a skill -- to play a musical instrument, for instance, or to become proficient at throwing dice, dancing, public speaking, or whatever one chooses.
The crossroads ritual is currently best known in popular American culture through the recent acceptance of a spurious legend that the famous 1930s blues singer Robert Johnson claimed that he had learned how to play guitar by selling his soul to the devil at the crossroads, somewhere in Mississippi.
Hyatt collected many, many accounts of the crossroads ritual in which it was said that on each successive visit to the crossroads (at midnight or dawn, depending on the informant), a different fl animal appears and on the last midnight (or sunrise) the "devil" or "big fl man" appears and fulfills the request.

Crossroads will probably be liked by pre-teen girls, the insane, those with no taste at all, and by those who will use it for fodder for ridicule.

After the enormous success of her eponymous debut album in 1988, enhanced by her appearance at a Nelson Mandela tribute concert that same year, it was never going to be easy for Tracy Chapman to deliver a similar bolt from the singer-songwriter blues a year later on this, her "tricky" second album.
On Crossroads Chapman plays it cautiously from a musical point of view, offering a slightly fleshed-out version of the smouldering acoustics of her debut.
It starts with the brilliantly enthusiastic and up beat 'crossroads' and then Tracy addresses some serious 'matters of the heart.' To anyone with experience of love the songs "bridges" and "be careful of my heart" are simply spell-binding.
