Product Description
CD Description
The smoke and whiskey-voiced Marianne Faithfull has createda work of perfection with STRANGE WEATHER. Be wary, though;this is not the perky, angelic '60s Marianne, who winsomelyfrolicked along Carnaby Street with her boyfriend Mick Jagger. Nor is this the brash, punk Marianne who made a well-deserved mid-'80s comeback with the shocking obscenities and raw confessionals of BROKEN ENGLISH. This Marianne Faithfull is a world-weary, ravaged woman who has dark, knowing tales to tell, and whose whimsy has been replaced by woe.
Hers is a voice that has lived, suffered, and survived; and only avoice of such immeasurable experience could tell the sad stories and desperate dramas that abound on STRANGE WEATHER. Her interpretions of standards are singular--from Leadbelly'sblues ("I Ain't Goin' Down To The Well No More") to the Jerome Kern songbook ("Yesterdays"). Tom Waits' title track is the album's moody centrepiece, while obscure gems from Bob Dylan and Dr. John shine through the cloudy atmosphere. Marianne even reinvents herself with a staggering, bruised rendition of her '60s hit "As Tears Go By". And when she breaks into the well-worn "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams", she does so with the dark assurance of someone name-dropping a former address.
The album transports the listener to another place and time: a foggy street, stormy and dark, where just a sliver of sunshine is able to break through the clouds. A temperamental place, where STRANGE WEATHER brings out the most primal of emotions.
