"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."

Sorry no

"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"
