 sorry no January 20, 2008
I was anxious to hear Joan Armatrading again after many long years not
hearing her... I quickly learned that she is one of those artists who
was better in her first release. It got overorchestrated and strange.
I would recommend her first album. Ann

She is a favorite vocal artist of mine, and this is an excellent collection. Product arrived promptly and in excellent condition. Good value for money.
 Excellent Compilation of Largely Forgotten Folk Singer! June 1, 2007
Joan Armatrading MBE is one of those singers and songwriters that you shouldn't forget. She is remarkably wide in her range of topics in her songs. I think every song that she sings is distinctively different from the others. I like Me, Myself I, All the Way from America, I Love It when You call me names, and Rosie. of course, the compact disc is quite a collection of her contributions. She performed everywhere whether on Saturday Night Live and all over the world. We don't hear much about her but her music is still powerful at times. It makes you think. It's not your typical Folk music like Norma Waterson MBE and Martin Carthy MBE who are traditionally the British godparents of British Folk Music. Armatrading takes her music to another level by trying to bring folk to conventional times. Don't think I don't listen to Waterson Carthy, I do and I'm a huge fan of them as well. Joan takes folk to today's world talking about relationships, identity, and other more conventional song topics.
The Diverse, Aloof And Splenderous Joan Armatrading ! April 14, 2007
Joan Armatrading is one of the most aloof singers and performers in music. She lives alone in Surrey England and she is a vegetarian and a gardener who does not drink or smoke. However, when she goes into a recording studio or performs in concert she is animated and dynamic. This CD compilation captures Joans many moods and all the songs are gems. She is at times upbeat, mellow and/or very emotional. The most endearing song on this compilation is "Willow" and the best song that is missing is "Trouble" from What's Inside. This compilation is a must for new fans. Over twenty years of her stellar career are covered.
Artist for the New Millenium September 22, 2000
Joan Armatrading is without a doubt one of the greatest singer/songwriters of the Twentieth Century. Her soulful lyrics combined with catchy tunes have been a mainstay on the edge of popular music since the early 1970s. THE BEST OF JOAN ARMATRADING: THE MILLENIUM COLLECTION is her third US greatest hits collection, following TRACK RECORD and GREATEST HITS. The CD contains her near-hits such as "Drop the Pilot" and songs featured on recent movie soundtracks, such as "Willow" from BOYS ON THE SIDE and "The Weakness in Me" from TEN THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. It's hard to create a greatest hits collection from someone whose career has spanned nearly thirty years. There are a number of songs I wish had been included such as "Moves" from SECRET SECRETS and "Dark Truths" from THE SHOUTING STAGE (both of which are now out of print), but I am not complaining. I'm just anxiously waiting for a collection of new material. Joan is truly an amazing artist, and this collection contains some of her best. There is also an English import with more selections.
