Amy Winehouse - Back To Black

Although her 2003 debut was a success, her rowdy offstage behavior became the focus of tabloids and critics instead of the music.

Combining a strong, Jazzy vocal style with often frank lyrical content recounting tales of love and loss, Winehouse is a truly talented songwriter with a good ear for melody, making this album an essential purchase
