Marianne Faithfull
Rich Kid Blues
Album - Rock, Music, Pop, Pop/Rock, Singer/Songwriter, Adult Contemporary, British Invasion, Teen Pop, Vocal, Adult Alternative, Southern Rock, Rock & Roll
Recorded in 1971 but unreleased until 1985, this remarkable sleeper finds Faithfull delivering dark, poignant cover versions while "probably on the edge of death" (her words) thanks to a heroin habit. Introducing her lower voice alongside a laidback band, Faithfull discovers dire resonances in three Bob Dylan classics (especially "It's All Over Now Baby Blue"); waxes country-funereal in "Long Black Veil"; and sounds right at home with Sandy Denny's twisted "Crazy Lady Blues."
