Joan Armatrading - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert, Colston Hall, Bristol, Britain, 4-20-2010

Normally, I'm reluctant to post an album from a musical act that takes place well after their commercial and/or critical prime. For Joan Armatrading, that was mainly the 1970s and 80s. So I wasn't sure if I'd post this one. Then I listened to it. 

I was pleasantly surprised. I had no idea she rocked this much! I tend to think of Armatrading more of a singer-songwriter folkie type. But for this concert, she was in full rocking mode, with power chords and guitar solos and so on, more so than either of the previous BBC concerts I'd posted from her. There were only a couple of songs done in more of an acoustic style. The song selection is very good too. This might be my favorite out of her three BBC concerts.

Everything here is officially unreleased. The sound quality is excellent, so I didn't have to make any fixes.

This album is 57 minutes long.
