Joan Armatrading "Walk Under Ladders" LP (1981)

Details: Joan Armatrading, "Walk Under Ladders," released on A&M Records, 1981. Light shelf wear at opening (cover). Fantastic condition!

Description: "More than any of her other albums, Walk Under Ladders shows off Armatrading's versatility as a writer and musician. Perhaps Armatrading never got as big in the U.S. as she did in Britain because she didn't quite fit into the Top 40 format as a musician or as a person, but the album cracked the door open in the U.S. for artists such as Fiona Apple, The Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge, and Tracy Chapman. It set Armatrading in a new direction, where she masters a pop sensibility while also holding on to the distinct qualities that give her songs depth — the lyrics that never fail to look at the complex and uncomfortable truths of love and friendship."--Laura Sydell, NPR
