  Joan Armatrading
Spencer studied what seemed to be a set list to the right of his keyboard, and I suppose performed some PC wizardry to set up the programming for the next song, which he then began playing.
As Spencer created miracles that made his keyboards sound as though they were connected to the grand pipe organ pipes behind the stage, Joan cued us for the second part of a repeat of the chorus by saying, ‘I said—‘ and backed away from the mike, leaving the audience to take over.
Spencer added some quiet tinkling of the plastic as she sang, and Gary was whacking away at the drums like the star I knew by now he was.

MeShee's wondrous voice has only previously appeared on Pentangle albums or as a guest on solo albums by the group's two original guitarists, John Renbourn and Bert Jansch, so it is a bit of a revelation to hear her sing in a different context.
McShee, together with John Martyn band keyboardist Spencer Cozens and legendary drummer Gerry Conway, form the nucleus of this new band.
Cozens' incessantly original keyboard work is at the heart of all the album's best moments and perhaps provides the inspiration to bring out the best in his coconspirators too.

Drawing liberally from her 2003 album “Lovers Speak” (which may very well be her best in a career spanning more than three decades), but also touching on inarguable classics like “The Weakness In Me”, “Love and Affection”, and “Me Myself I”, the quality of the material presented on this CD is not at issue.
Nor are the performances, which find Joan leading a trio of herself, multi-instrumentalist Gary Foote, and keyboardist Spencer Cozens – a simple, no-excess arrangement reflecting the refreshingly no-frills approach of the “Lovers Speak” album.
The real bummer of "All the Way From America" is in its lack of surprise.
