Joan Armatrading is one of a handful of artists who have avoided being pigeon-holed in any one particular genre, but who move smoothly from one to another. Although her greatest commercial success was with a series of rock albums in the '70s, her repertoire extends to blues, folk, pop, and jazz.
A recently released 1980 performance DVD tips toward rock, with enough of her other artful fusions to show off her musical versatility. More in my review of Joan Armatrading: Steppin' Out.
