 Joan Armatrading
Joan Armatrading has been making engaging, mostly low-key albums since the early 70s, and was a critics' darling for a few years thanks to a series of brilliant compositions and a no-nonsense delivery.
Armatrading's debut was mostly overlooked, but it features the same bare-bones blues-folk approach, pointed lyrics and casual command of her heyday.
Armatrading stalled out here; she uses the same low-key, rough-hewn rock arrangements as on the previous two albums, but there's very little variation track to track, and the tunes lack the melodic, memorable quality she earlier made sound so easy.

 Joan Armatrading - Alternative Rock at Randy's Rodeo
Joan Armatrading debuted somewhat inauspiciously in 1973 with Whatever's For Us, a quiet collection of songs cowritten with Pam Nester and produced by longtime Elton John associate Gus Dudgeon.
Reflecting, perhaps, Armatrading's more prominent stature abroad, Love and Affection: The Best of Joan Armatrading (1999) spanned the artist's career from her first album through her sophisticated (if less adventurous) albums of the 1990's.
Indeed, while Joan Armatrading is an "alternative" to the usual pop palaver, her music will certainly not appeal to fans of, say, Korn or Nine Inch Nails.

 Joan Armatrading : Joan Armatrading - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Joan Armatrading's eponymous third album is a charmer, almost single-handedly elevating her into the ranks of rock's leading female artists.
Up to this point, Armatrading had shown that she had a lovely voice and an ear for interesting arrangements, but her work had been steeped in the folk idiom of the early '70s.
The result is her most muscular music to date, with Armatrading adopting a swagger that showed her tales of unluckiness in love didn't have to have dire consequences ("Tall in the Saddle," "Water With the Wine").
