This was the first album I bought by Amy Winehouse. I have seen her in the press, and quite frankly was not impressed. But then I heard Back to Black, and I liked it. I bought the album with very little hope for the album. But now I would class it as one of my all time favourite albums. It is a mixture of jazz and blues with some of the most amazing lyrics I have heard for a while. Amy Winehouse is now, in my opinion is one of the great female vocalists of our time. She captures the sorrow of love so perfect in some of her songs, that they still bring me to tears (and have played this album none stop over the last month).
It is a great album to listen to during most occasions (whether it be relaxing on your own or with friends, or even going to work). After listening to this I bought "Frank", which is okay, but I prefer Back to Black. But since buying these albums, I look forward to listening to more of Amy Winehouse's work.

Sorry for the low rating but there is not enough info here, try adding track listing, price, where to buy, and some info about the tracks. I would suggest that you look at others reviews and see how they write.
