Joan Armatrading's rich voice, with its island lilt, is a most expressive instrument. Armatrading made her mark with her self-titled 1976 album, which featured everything from lighthearted, literate love songs to intimate confessions of near-religious beauty. The talent she displayed on that record ensured that Ms. Armatrading would have a busy career as a recording artist. In the '80s she explored a wide spectrum of styles that ranged from acoustic to straight-ahead rock. In the '90s, a new generation of independent female artists have acknowledged a debt to Ms. Armatrading by covering her songs.

This album has the same intimacy as its predecessor, but with a bit more oomph. John "Rabbit" Bundrick and the great Georgie Fame frame the songs in old-fashioned Hammond organ grooves, and Mel Collins' saxophone also provides a soulful element. Armatrading's languid, dusky delivery of songs like the title track and "Woncha Come On Home" shows how much her emotional range developed in the five years since her debut. SHOW SOME EMOTION is a gem of '70s singer-songwriter pop. If You Enjoy "Show Some Emotion (CD)", May We Also Recommend:
