IF YOU LIKE ALL Marianne Faithfull’S SONG GO FOR IT! Lead single “Alabama Song” and “Want To Buy Some Illusions” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. After seeing Alabama Song, I had to have a good Marianne Faithfull cd. It is very deep stuff - very exciting
I loved Want To Buy Some Illusions the first time I heard it. Pirate Jenny motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. Salomon Song is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through 20th Century Blues. Boulevard Of Broken Dreams is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Complainte De La Seine is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. A great put together song. Opening track Intro shows the best of Marianne Faithfull. I hope to keep hearing Marianne Faithfull works for a long time to come. The song Falling In Love Again ending is my favorite… so catchy! Marianne Faithfull rocks harder than ever with Mack The Knife. |titile| is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in 20th Century Blues. Don’t Forget Me presents the astounding mix of instruments on 20th Century Blues. Surabaya Johnny have really caught my ear and imagination. Music and lyrics of Street Singer’s Farewell creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming.
