Listener Reviews & Comments
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 autobiography 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 ber-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.
