All of Joan Armatrading's songs get a +1 from me for the halo effect of reminding me of my mom.

She's back on tour with a new album, going to see her on Tuesday, looking forward to that!
I've always had a soft spot for her voice, this album used to be a tune to show off a good hi-fi system in the 80's as the recording is really good. much like Fleetwood mac's Rumours.

Can't she do both? After all, selling records is what made it possible for us to continue enjoying her art 30 years later.

I've liked her from her debut.  I have quite a few of her albums.  A unique voice.

Great tune. I'm digging the drummer on the track, wonder who it was...

Amazing voice.  Been a fan sine the 1976 S/T album.  "Down To Zero" and "Love And Affection" move me.

Saw her at the Carolina Theatre in Durham, NC with Don Dixon opening, quite a few years back.  A lovely show!

Great album, but IMO there are better tracks on it.
Superbly talented artist, had a sensational live act at around this time. There was a 'Live at the Hammersmith' video featuring some tracks off this album, featuring Joan and her band, really fantastic stuff.
Somewhat under-rated artist, IMO. Personally I think she is brilliant!

Very cool. Are you ready for this? Sounds like a combination of these:
1. Talking Heads, Remain in Light era
2. Steely Dan
3. Grateful Dead (think Hell in a Bucket)
Anybody with me?


I'm hearing sounds similar to Blues for Allah, especially since the Dead had a female vocalist at the time, her name eludes me but I'm sure that many among you out there know who she is . . . oh yeah, Donna Godchaux, that's it. Isn't Google wonderful!!

Joan is an original! Solid 9.

Good observation. Now that you mention it, I hear all those influences. Especially Steely Dan.


Which way on the influence? I know for sure that this recording preceeded "Remain in Light."

Been hearing more Joan on RP and nothing wrong with that.

luv it. reminds me of many feel-good moments at pubby bars dancing to jam bands in college. Shoulders up, down, up, down... she'd be perfect for Berkfest!

As I recall, she got kind of rolled into '80s Womyn's Music ...not a really good-selling genre. Personallly, I like her a lot.

But this was before almost all Talking Heads except for '77 (and it may have even been before that). 

Steely Dan, sure - lots of jazz riffs
