  Happy Monday. I'm awfully busy today at work but I wanted to share with you this version of "Crazy Lady Blues" by Marianne Faithfull that I finally found this weekend. It's off her album "Rich Kid Blues. " Very different interpretation of Sandy Denny's original.
MF has said she hates this album as it came from one of the darkest points in her life, when she was hopped up beyond belief on those crazy downers of the late 70s (i have a feeling that quaaludes and other various '70s tranqs would probably make our generation's oxycontins and perkasets look like advil. feel free to prove me wrong. ) I have a strange fascination with this sort of genius. Big Star's Third immediately comes to mind as a similarly wretched look into a shadowy soul.
Same with Syd Barrett's solo work. More on this later I promise. unfortunately I can't seem to get this to work on my PC - let me know if you can. it may work on Mac but not PC. worked fine at home. UPDATED w/ new file - it's an AAC file so uh... see what happens if you so desire. urlLink Crazy Lady Blues by Marianne Faithfull
