The Classic

“I’m in the best place I’ve ever been in my life,” declares Joan Wasser, and she’s just recorded the album that proves it. The Classic, the fourth album of originals by the uniquely charismatic artist known as Joan As Police Woman, builds on the creative impetus and success of its 2011 predecessor The Deep Field. The result is a perfect reflection of her efforts to address - and solve - personal issues and so reject the singer-songwriter’s traditional melancholic disposition for an unashamed lust for life.
