I think it's a fine album, but it pales beside the second album, Joan Armatrading, which is perfect, ten tracks of varied, passionate singing and songwriting and damned good guitar playing, immaculately arranged. I don't think there are five better singer-songwriter albums, and I don't know why it isn't a famous classic.

Joan is also perfect for "When New Wave Happens to Old Artists"!
Thanks Joan, for the dumbest record cover ever!!! XO

This is my second-favorite Joan album, actually, bettered only by 1975's _Back To The Night_, which includes two songs for which Pam wrote lyrics ("Dry Land" and "Come When You Need Me").
Scraps, _Joan Armatrading_ is her third album.

There was a surge in interest in Joan when Melissa Etheridge covered "The Weakness In Me" a few years ago. Great song. "Drop the Pilot" is also quite good and sounds like something Vampire Weekend should cover. An English friend of mine told me that Joan was not very friendly and earned the nickname Joan Armor-plating
