Marianne Faithfull, “Negative Capability” (BMG)- The release of a new Marianne Faithfull album remains a significant cultural event amongst music lovers of a certain vintage, and I’m pleased to be able to report that “Negative Capability” represents a fine addition to the impressive body of work that she’s assembled during the course of a career which now spans well over half a century. The starkly memorable contents were recorded at La Frette studios in the Paris suburbs and boast a stunning version of Dylan’s “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” alongside a haunting Nick Cave co-composition, “The Gypsy Fairie Queen” alongside an affectingly world weary re-vamp of her 1964 hit, “As Tears Go By .”
