Into the Blues is the sixteenth studio album by British singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading, released on 1 May 2007.

Armatrading wrote and arranged all the songs on the album and plays all the instruments except for drums and percussion.

[6] Gary Graff, writing in Billboard magazine, said: "Armatrading's take is wide and distinctive and stretches the parameters of what we consider the blues".

[7] The Aspen Times drew attention to the album's "yearning, grit and pain" and praised the "smooth and sultry" feel of the songs.

[8] Dave Gil de Rubio, writing in the East Bay Express in California stated that Armatrading "puts a fresh stamp on a classic American genre" and that her guitar playing "rings with a Mark Knopfler-like resonance", praising her "rich and burnished voice".
