Singer/songwriter Joan Armatrading has been one of the most distinctive and influential artists in contemporary folk since releasing her first album in 1972. Her 2003 album {^Lovers Speak} was her strongest album in years, proving Armatrading was still an artist who mattered, and this concert video, recorded without overdubs at a 2003 concert in Saratoga, CA, features a handful of songs from that album as well as classics from her back catalog. Joan Armatrading: Live -- All the Way From America includes the tunes "Tender Trap," "Blessed," "Prove Yourself," "Down to Zero," "The Weakness in Me," "Love and Affection," "Kissin' and a Huggin,'" and many more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
