Show Some Emotion by Joan Armatrading
Show Some Emotion is an album by Joan Armatrading, released in 1977. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Willow”, on 1 list with a best position of #665.
Show Some Emotion, Joan Armatrading's fourth album, came out on A&M in 1977, and together with the self-titled record before it, it gave the English singer-songwriter and guitarist her first taste of real commercial success. Glyn Johns produced, and he keeps things uncluttered, leaving all the room in the world for that voice.
It's pop and rock with a folkie's backbone, the band cooking behind her as she swings from tender to tough and back inside a single song, and "Willow" is the song from it that surfaced on the countdowns. On the charts it went to No. 6 in the UK, No. 52 in the US and No. 18 in Australia. Two of its songs, "Mama Mercy" and "Kissin' and a Huggin'", turned up again on her 1979 live album Steppin' Out.
