Legendary British singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading returns with a new DVD and CD release, Me Myself I World Tour, that documents and highlights the artist’s 2014/2015 solo world tour, which is that last major tour of her long and storied career. This set was recorded at Washington D.C.’s the Barns at Wolf Trap and she played her biggest hits and crowd favorites. The combo package will release November 11th via 429 Records. Today we’re sharing “The Weakness in Me” performed live. The song appeared originally on her 1981 album, Walk Under Ladders, which featured Thomas Dolby on synths and XTC’s Andy Partridge on guitar.
Meanwhile, Armatrading has also created the music for a new production of The Tempest at the always fabulous Donmar Warehouse theatre in London’s Covent Garden. That music, The Tempest Songs, is available from iTunes now.
