I originally bought this CD for my mother without knowing much about the artist. When I heard it I liked it so much that I had to get myself a copy too! I have too many favourite songs to pick one in particular, I think that what really makes this CD is the mix of great tunes with interesting rythms. Well that, and Joan Armatrading's expressive voice. Try it and you won't be disappointed.

I bought this album some years ago and have only recently started listening to it again. If you love lyrics that are full of meaning and expressed as only Joan knows how, accompanied with music of the highest quality then you will love this album.

One of Joan's Very Best.
7 July 1999
Format:Audio CD
I've been a long-time fan of Joan Armatrading and her music, and have been following her work since the 1970's and such classic lp's as "Joan Armatrading", "Show Some Emotion", "Me Myslef I", "Walk Under Ladders" and "Secret Secrets", the last shamefully unavailable on cd. She nearly lost me, however, in the late 80's and into the 90's, with such disappointing releases as "Sleight of Hand", "Hearts and Flowers" and "Square the Circle", all of which have their good moments but, on the whole, don't live up to the greatness of her work which preceded them. Thank goodness that "What's Inside" finds Joan back on track with one of the best albums of her lengthy career. Her voice is as great as ever, warm and tender on the ballads, strong and assertive on the more upbeat numbers. The songwriting is top notch, and the big treat here is the wonderful string section working with Joan, adding a new dimension to her funky, reggae, R&B style songs. This is highly recommended for fans of Joan Armatrading and anyone who wants to discover a singer/songwriter of the first magnitude who has been shockingly underappreciated for too many years.

Mesmerizing
25 Sep 2000
Format:Audio CD
this album by Joan Armatrading is amazing. The first time I heard it, back in '96, I was floored. The words, the music, Joan's voice...it is without a doubt one of my favorite CD's in my collection. the best song on the album is Everyday Boy....it'll give you chills. I had the pleasure of interviewing Ms. Armatrading this summer for a music show I produce for BET on Jazz: The Jazz Channel called Profiles at Wolf Trap. She is truly one of the most genuine, and gifted people I have ever met and interviewed. She talked about the song Everyday Boy and the performance that night was spellbinding. Pick this CD up now....it will be a cornerstone in your CD collection for years to come. Thank you Joan!!

Her best work in nearly 20 years!
1 Sep 1999
Format:Audio CD
I first became aware of Joan in 1977 at a concert at the Ramona theatre in Detroit, where she opened for John Klemmer To say that she upstaged the top billed act is an understatement. Show Some Emotion had just been released. I loved it, but when I heard her prior self titled album, which I believe was actually her 3rd or 4th, I was completely blown away. She's done some fine work here and there over the last 2 decades, but nothing could have braced me for What's Inside. She's always been one of the best rythym guitarists around, but the lead licks she lays out on Lost The Love are enough to make B.B. King stand up and take note. I've always thought that her 76 Joan Armatrding release was by far, her best. Till I heard this. It's a truly amazing work of art
