5.0 out of 5 stars Marianne goes Nashville, February 10, 2006

By	Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This album was first released in 1977 as Dreaming My Dreams and then reissued as Faithless the following year. It's a pure country album where the despairing cracked voice of Broken English was first displayed. And it's a brilliant album, very good selection of material. Virtually every track is hit single material, from Dreaming My Dreams (a sad ballad), Jackie DeShannon's lilting Vanilla Olay, the energetic All I Wanna Do In Life and Jessie Colter's sorrowful I'm Not Lisa. Barry Reynolds, who always inspires her best work (like on Vagabond Ways), wrote or co-wrote 4 of the songs here. My fave track of all is That Was The Day (Nashville), a wonderful weepie that e.g. Dolly Parton could never sing [... that was the day/When the coke came to Nashville/That was the day/I laughed till I cried/That was the day/All my dreams turned to ashes/Aint it funny, after all I've survived."] Faithfull fans who are not prejudiced against country music, and all country music fans will love this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Il lui aura peut-être fallu descendre à ce point..., October 12, 2001

By	Mercureendirect "mercureendirect" (france) - See all my reviews

Il lui aura peut-être fallu descendre à ce point... jusqu'au fond.
La belle Marianne (So long, etc...) accompagnée par le Grease Band, bien loin de "Laugh at the Judge", savait-elle que du tréfonds de son âme allait surgir l'intense "Broken English", qui allait envoyer Jagger mordre enfin la poussière de son indécrottable arrogance. Little Brian veillait sur sa chère ange... mais pas pour cette fois, hélas !
