THIS CHARMING LIFE
by: JOAN ARMATRADING Three times Grammy-nominated British singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading is the first female UK artist ever to have debuted at number one in the Billboard Blues charts. She returns to the spotlight with this new disc, "a showcase of her unique style, a blend of rock, pop, R&B, blues and jazz which bursts with a continued joyous energy." (Your Way to Music) Highlights include "Goddess of Change," "People Who Win," "Heading Back to New York City" and the title track. |

INTO THE BLUES
(FEATURED ALBUM) by: JOAN ARMATRADING Joan Armatrading has always spiced her unique mixture of folk, pop, and rock elements of the blues, but 2007's Into the Blues marks her first foray into the genre. With an emphasis on her impressive guitar work, the album grooves and grinds, especially on numbers like "Mama Papa" and "My Baby's Gone". The opening plea for tenderness, "A Woman In Love", is a case in point, as is the title track, which jazzes up a stomping start-stop rhythm. Armatrading rocks hard and takes no prisoners for most of the album, making it a fine addition to her excellent discography. |
