CD Reviews

Terrific Joan Armatrading LIVE!!!
J. Bilby | Kingston, New Hampshire United States | 07/28/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I to saw her during this tour(BOSTON). The music is first rate

and for a 3 piece outfit they really manage to convey great

emotions and Joan's vocals(although somewhat fragile & raw and road tested from touring all over the world last year goes right through you.

When I saw her show last summer in Boston, Joan totally lost her

voice, especially the high end but she apolgized and made the most of it, as disapointed as everyone was these songs were top notch. Having

this more stripped down approach really allows Joan's vocals

to fill the space without clutter that sometimes happens with

the studio. Her newer material holds it own very well with

her classics, "DOWN TO ZERO", "LOVE AND AFFECTION", "ALL THE

WAY FROM AMERICA" and "SAVE ME" and one of my favorites she

always closed her shows with, "WILLOW" over the years, remember all the lighters in the air? I've seen her live many times and its just

a shame this country didn't take to her, she just didn't get

the big break she deserved. That said this is concert must

have if you're into Joan's music, not many live offerings and

it sounds so nice live!! Very intimate, like she was singing

in your living room."
Very Good Live CD
K. Cooper | Phila. area | 03/01/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"For someone who never put out a live album before, she gets it right the first time. She starts with an excellent well chosen set list of old and new songs. The live versions are pretty faithful to the originals and the new songs are excellent, especially "Lovers Speak". No negative criticism here - this is exactly what Joan's fans want her live CD to sound like."
A Holy Grail for Armatrading Fans
Steven A. Remollino | Texas City, TX | 07/14/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Fans of Joan Armatrading received a Christmas in July present this week with the release of JOAN ARMATRADING LIVE: ALL THE WAY FROM AMERICA, Joan's first official live recording since STEPPIN' OUT nearly 30 years ago. The CD contains a mixture of her classics including "Willow" and "The Weakness in Me" (two popular soundtrack songs) and songs from her most recent studio effort LOVERS SPEAK, including the title track as well as "Tender Trap" and "Prove Yourself" among others. Sound quality is excellent for a live recording with audience noise kept to a minimum. Fans of Joan and her songs will not be disappointed. The CD has a DVD counterpart of the same show, also released on the same day."
