 (2 Customer Reviews)
It's been a long strange trip from Jagger to motorcycles to Lucy Jordan to the Weimar Republic for the ex-convent girl whose once virginal tones graced "As Tears Go By" and "This Little Bird." Maintaining a balance between folk and pop, she managed to score a couple of hits in the '60s before the drugs kicked in. Re-emerging with the acclaimed BROKEN ENGLISH at the end of the '70s (with huskier vocals that betrayed her turbulent lifestyle) Faithfull recorded a number of rock albums for Island before exploring the music of '20s Berlin with 20TH CENTURY BLUES.
She certainly bares her soul in the semi-autobiographical VAGABOND WAYS. In "Incarceration Of A Flower Child" the subject is "sunk without hope in a haze of good dope and cheap wine." In the title track she sings "I drink and I take drugs, I love sex and I move around a lot." In the Cohen-esque "File It Under Fun From The Past" she pines for a lost love. The Leonard Cohen feel continues with a version of his "Tower Of Song." Faithfull has lived most of this at one time or another. You can hear it in her voice.

CMJ (4/10/00, p.24) - "...Her domineering, nicotene-browned voice remians the central focus...the material - a mix of originals and well-chosen covers - asserts a significant influence over the album's air of solemn nostalgia..."

Marianne Faithfull Vagabond Ways Songs Vagabond Ways Music Review Average Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars)   A True Survivor Tells the Tale
Faithful continues to amaze with her scathing introspection and world-weary romantic sensibility, all delivered in a voice that reeks of dope,whiskey and cigarettes - a hard life well-lived and bravely survived, and she's luckily still here to tell the tale.
This is not my favorite (the raw, sick power of "Broken English" is a tough act to top), but it is nonetheless a worthy and rewarding entry into the canon of one of rock's toughest customers.

 Haunting and Wonderful
A Great Album from an exceptional artiste. While Marriane's voice is not that lovely in itsself, she knows how to handle a song and how to bring emotion and power to the blandest music. She is lucky on this one - all the songs are top rate material, if not radio friendly.

Is it possible that someone was following the Stooges around circa 1972-1973, taping their every move? It certainly seems that way, as evidenced by the overabundance of outtakes and demos that has surfaced from the group's Raw Power period. The most exhaustive collection to focus on these tracks arrived in 2005 -- the six-disc box Heavy Liquid. Set up similarly to a previous Stooges box set, Rhino Handmade's 2000 release 1970: The Complete Funhouse Sessions, this is not six discs worth of different rare songs, but rather songs that are repeated over and over again. And unless you're the biggest Stooges fanatic in the universe, there's simply no way you can sit through 13 takes of "I Got a Right." Longtime Stooges fans ...

You wouldn't think Jello Biafra would attempt something as anathematizing to him as a turgid, seven-minute '70s rock anthem. But the hilarious title track shows he will go just about anywhere to make an acrid comment. No kidding, you could slip this baby on any urban classic rock station and the mindless headbangers would eat up its Stones-Aerosmith-Zep-AC/DC cock rock riff like mice who don't notice the trap around the cheese -- until the steel-trap surprise lyrics slam into them! (And even hard rock fans who never notice ridiculously ...
