Anthony, indirectly, has brought up the burning question, why are there so many raspy voice singers. from the U.K.? ...of which Faithfull is just one of many, Ian Lloyd, Mod Rod, Mr. Cocker, Peter Gabriel, and 'mo... Is it something about how much less nasal their speech pattern seems, or what?
I kind'a like Marrianne Faithful. In her early years she butchered many a kover! I think she didn't get older, she got better. Anybody hear her chanteuse album, 20th Century Blues? She sangs en Franch, 'an everything. Actually, most of the songs are in Anglish. She sounds all together comfortable singing rasp-ill-ly en Fran-sa-wah. I'd really dig hearin' her live as displayed there.
I like her cover of Working Class Hero but it's stale cheese wiz compared to Why'd Ya Do It, IMO! Her Yesterday recording from the 60's could make a blackboard shreek! She had her moments as a folk-see singer in the 60's but I hated her cover songs of the Stones and Beatles,...which, hmnnn, her label proably imposed on her...? BTW, the Stone's song Sister Morphine is allegedly about her.
I heard PM Dawn's Norweigan Wood and I liked it for it's liberties but not a title buster to me.
