Editorial Reviews

Three times Grammy nominated British singer songwriter Joan Armatrading is the first female UK artist to have debuted at number 1 in the Billboards Blues charts. She is also the first female UK artist to be nominated for a Grammy in the blues category.

One of Britain's female artists who has stood the test of time with songs like Love And Affection, Willow, Drop The Pilot and Lovers Speak.

Joan's strong rhythmic acoustic guitar playing and her melodic electric solos help to make her the consummate musician. Female guitarist, female songwriter, female singer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The REAL Deal, March 29, 2010
This review is from: This Charming Life (MP3 Download)
If you want to know where artists like Tracey Chapman, Katy Perry, and the like got their inspirations and who may have paved the way for all singer songerwriter women, check out Joan Armatrading. This new record is quintessential Joan and is as fresh and new as when she first came on the scene. She is a timeless artist, greatly underrated and undiscovered by the younger set. Not to mention she has epic guitar skills, I highly recommend everyone check out this new release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great New Set of Tunes From Joan!, March 29, 2010

Jim GS "Jim GS" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: This Charming Life (MP3 Download)
Excellent new album from Joan - keep the quality coming! As a long-term fan, I am excited to see this influencial star still working on her craft. Oh and she is excellent live!

(And, btw, I feel we should use our rating for the material from the artist, not for any perceived short-comings from Amazon.)
