Our Take

Ah, Marianne Faithfull, the epitome of rock 'n' roll chic. Her latest album, "Marianne Faithfull: The Montreux Years," is a deep dive into her live performances at the famed Montreux Jazz Festival. Despite being recorded nearly 40 years ago, the energy and passion in Faithfull's voice still shine through.

From the moment she takes the stage, Faithfull demands your attention with her emotive vocals and raw, unfiltered lyrics. Tracks like "As Tears Go By" and "Why'd Ya Do It?" showcase her ability to captivate a crowd with just her voice and a guitar.

The live instrumentation on this album is top-notch, with a band that perfectly complements Faithfull's unique style. The bluesy guitar riffs and jazzy piano flourishes add a depth to her music that is truly captivating.

However, there are moments where the album falls flat. Some tracks feel a bit dated and lack the punch that Faithfull is known for. The sound quality can be a bit hit or miss, with some songs sounding slightly muddy or distorted.

Overall, "Marianne Faithfull: The Montreux Years" is a must-listen for any fan of rock music. It may not be perfect, but it's a raw and honest look at one of music's most iconic figures. So grab a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let Marianne Faithfull take you on a journey through the Montreux years. Cheers, darling.
