Marianne goes country,
By
This review is from: Dreamin My Dreams (Audio CD)
This album is a reissue of the original Dreaming My Dreams of 1977, with the four extra tracks that constituted the Faithless album. It is her transition from 1960s folkie to the rock singer of the 1980s. In a way it was Marianne Faithfull's comeback album (after 1971's mostly acoustic Rich Kid Blues) and the lost years, which first displayed her new voice that would later emerge to dramatic effect on the seminal album Broken English. The style is pure country and country-pop, and the songs are all tuneful and memorable.Almost every track is hit single stuff, from the yearning Dreaming My Dreams through Jackie DeShannon's buoyant pop ditty Vanilla O'Lay to the sad ballad I'm Not Lisa. Lady Madeleine was Faithfull's elegy to a friend, as she explains in her biography Faithfull (co-written with David Dalton). Her interpretations of I'll Be Your Baby Tonight and Honky Tonk Angels are quite authentically country, whilst That Was The Day (Nashville) is almost a form of über-country in its dramatic intensity and memorable imagery. The melodies are strong throughout, and two highlights are the uptempo All I Wanna Do In Life and the ballad The Way That You Want Me To Be. This album was a huge hit in Ireland in the late 1970s and its success gave Marianne the confidence to re-establish her singing career. Soon after, classic works like Broken English, Dangerous Acquaintances and A Child's Adventure followed; these brought her critical acclaim as a rock (as opposed to folk) singer and formed the foundation for her always accomplished work up to today.

Rainbow in cloud,
By Moshe Itshaki "Poet" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dreamin My Dreams (Audio CD)
The songs, in particular 'Dreaming My Dreams' and the very moving voice of Marianne Faithful, open a window to an other worlds and place a mirror to your own inner world and enable you to see a ray of light through the darkness.

Dreaming My Dreams,
By Allan Webb - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dreamin My Dreams (Audio CD)
The main title is daunting and the rest of the album, which is slanted more to the country and western style, is well worth having.After listening to the very good "Very Best" album, you can notice a hoarseness in the voice like a smokers voice and there is quite a decline in her overall performance as if the higher notes were a strain. The accompaniment and songs are good and overall, I like it. |
