Joan Armatrading has one of those rare voices that's hard to describe without fawning and falling into rock critic cliches: soulful, resonant, rich, honeyed... She's released several unheralded and largely unheard records since the release of this eponymous one more than thirty years ago, but it's the one I always go back to. Joan Armatrading is a songwriter's songwriter, and a singer's singer. It's no secret I'm a huge fan of singers with big, deep voices, and hers is what hooked me in.
