another of those xmas gift card purchases...
this one is of an artist i previously owned nothing by, but should have!
Joan was born in British colony St.Kitts and was bought up in the UK...i was unaware she was English, just assumed she was American for some reason...
anyway,
this album contains fourteen tracks,eleven of which come from her 'classic' years(73-83)..
her songs range from pop,rock,funk,even the odd jazz-tinged feel here and there..
a quality writer who is often forgotten by music lovers(including me,im sad to say!)
nothing on here i do not like, with half the tracks i love...
i had totally forgotten that "rosie" and "all the way from america" were here songs with the former title my favourite on here...
all up, a brilliant best of hits package!
