Marianne Faithfull's new album 'Horses And High Heels' was recorded in the New Orleans French Quarter over September/October 2010. The album features eight cover versions (Greg Dulli & Mark Lanegan's 'The Stations', Jackie Lomax's 'No Reason', the bewitching piano reverie of Carol King's 'Goin' Back', the Shangri-Las masterpiece, 'Past Present and Future'.) and four original new songs co-written by Marianne, four songs which feature the guitar playing of John Porter, a musician/producer friend most noted for his work with Roxy Music, Eric Clapton and The Smiths. The album also includes two cameo appearances on guitar from another old friend, Lou Reed, plus further cameos from Dr. John and MC5's Wayne Kramer. Produced by long-term collaborator Hal Willner. 'I don't really do conventional...' 47 years of creative public life and Marianne Faithfull remains one of the most unique, bewitching and indeed unconventional musical artists Britain has ever produced. In 47 years she's grown from the quiver-voiced ing nue of her debut single 'As Tears Go By' (1964, the first song ever written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards) to her peerless position as profoundly distinctive scorched-earth torch-singer and richly emotive song-writer - as evidenced today on her 23rd solo album, the sonically stunning 'Horses And High Heels'
