The hugely influential and pioneering British singer-songwriter, is back with a brand new studio CD. The reclusive legend tries her hand at the blues and proves quite a dab hand at it. She basically plays everything here bar the drums and manages to inject everything with a sense of drive and passion. As always, her silky-smooth voice is the real star. Joan's new album is the latest in a long line of fabulous releases dating back to her wonderfully successful breakthrough albums in the late 70s and early 80s such as Show Some Emotion, To the Limit and Me Myself I . She remains an utterly compelling writer and performer of unique warmth. She cites "Into The Blues" as her best work yet. "I've wanted to make an album that truly reflected me and I think this does. I love the blues and while each song is very different there's a cohesive thread that runs throughout". Her 19th album is a celebration the blues, which she describes as "the bedrock of modern music". Her rich, mellow vocal suits the blues, as does her accomplished guitar playing. She really enjoys playing all those well-oiled blues riffs on her trusty electric guitar to ornament her compositions. One of them, "Baby Blue Eyes", features some impressive acoustic strumming, which adds a more earthy texture. Always bold and unpredictable, Joan Armatrading has come to Muddy Waters relatively late, but better late than never. This is an eclectic mix of blues-inspired songs that should please her loyal fans. |
