NAIVE - NV 814411 - 2008

Down From Dover - Hold On Hold On (Sean Lennon) - Solitude - The Crane Wife 3 (Nick Cave) - Easy Come, Easy Go - Children Of Stone (Rufus Wainwright) - How Many Worlds (Teddy Thompson) - In Germany Before The War - Ooh Baby Baby (Antony) - Sing Me Back Home (Keith Richards)

Tinha o pressentimento de que 2009 iria começar bem e assim foi. Logo no primeiro dia útil do ano, chegou o novo álbum de Marianne Faithfull (figura que eu tinha invocado) cheio de versões (Dolly Parton, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, etc) e de colaborações (Sean Lennon, Keith Richards, etc). Excelente!

Outro dado interessante: é a primeira reunião entre Marianne e Keith depois dos anos loucos de 60. É Marianne que o diz: it was fantastic to work with Keith again after all these years.

A capa é de Jean-Baptiste Mondino e a produção, excelsa, de Hall Willner.

The last session for the record was with Marianne's long time friend Keith Richards, who came in to sing and play on Merle Haggard's "Sing Me Back Home", a song Marianne learned from Keith. I'm sure you can imagine how beautiful it was to hear these two voices - especially these two, who have known one another for almost 45 years, bring these sessions to a perfect conclusion (Hal Willner).

Esta é a versão mais simples. Há outra, de luxo.
