Marianne Faithfull - Strange Weather .gif) By Steven Stolder
From the belle of '60s London to weathered postpunk princess to
postmodern chanteuse and onward, Marianne Faithfull has proved two things:
she's adaptable and a survivor. Sparked by Faithfull's glowingly received
contribution to Hal Willner's 1985 Kurt Weill tribute, Lost in the
Stars, Weather takes up where Stars left off. Here
Willner and Faithfull take a torch to an off-kilter but inspired
collection of tunes, including Leadbelly's "I Ain't Goin' Down to the
Well No More," Bob Dylan's obscure "I'll Keep It with Mine"
(penned for another smoky-voiced rock chanteuse, Nico), and the standards
"Yesterdays" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." The
producer enfolds Faithfull's ravaged-but-right vocals in a cozy soundscape
that perfectly suits the misty mood of this unified, insular song cycle.
