Marianne Faithfull - No Regrets (2007)

"The real year of the artist's return to the stage was 1975, when Marianne Faithfull managed to sign a contract with NEMS and release the single "Dreaming My Dreams", a slow country ballad that unexpectedly soared to first place in the Irish charts. In January 1977, the eponymous longplay was released. This record became the singer's first major recording work after a ten-year hiatus. Marianne, who listened a lot to Hank Williams and Waylon Jennings at that time, wanted to make a solid country album that corresponded to her changed voice, which, however, was badly spoiled by the producers of NEMS, who stuffed into it a lot of lightweight and worthless pop stuff collected from the pine forest. As a result, something rather vague and inexpressive appeared, where good numbers were lost among colorless, uninspiring material. In March 1978, the album will be re-released with several new tracks under the clever title "Faithless". The most vivid and memorable song from this album can be considered the poignant and sad ballad "Lady Madeline", written by Marianne herself and dedicated to the memory of her closest friend Madeleine d'Orsi, a woman of easy virtue who died of a drug overdose." (Zabriskie Rider magazine).
"No Regrets is the full version of the album "Dreaming My Dreams" (tracks from the reissue of "Faithless" have been added).
