Produktbeschreibungen

Audio
Die CD zum gleichnamigen Buch entlarvt mit zwei tollen Songs, was der Rummel um die Lebensbilanz der 46jährigen Britin soll: die Werbetrommel rühren für das auf März 1995 versprochene Album A Secret Life. Hält die CD, was die neuen Songs versprechen, geht's in Ordnung: Ghost Dance, produziert von Keith Richards/Don Was, glänzt mit kantigem Rock, She präsentiert La Faithfull als altersweise Diva, die Zerbrechlichkeit und Souveränität verbindet, sich von Streichern umschmeicheln läßt. Dezu gibt's neun alte Hits, von As Tears Go By bis Broken English.

Review by John Floyd
After a lengthy absence, Faithfull resurfaced on this 1979 album, which took the edgy and brittle sound of punk rock and gave it a shot of studio-smooth dance rock. Faithfull's whiskey-worn vocals perfectly match the bitter and biting "Why'd Ya Do It" and revitalize John Lennon's "Working Class Hero."
 




Review by John Floyd
Faithfull's 1987 release recast her as a nicotine-stained chanteuse, approaching such standards as "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "Penthouse Serenade" with a ravaged, world-weary demeanor that recalls the latter-day recordings of Billie Holiday. She also tackles some blues and jazz material and turns "As Tears Go By" into the gut-wrenching torch ballad neither the Stones nor Faithfull could ever have done in the '60s. A dark, challenging masterpiece.
