This special performance is the culmination of a yearlong tour by Marianne Faithfull and pianist/ arranger Paul Trueblood. The breathy, frail, and innocent voice of the '60s, wilted by too many years of hard living, now conveys deep layers of emotion, and the rasp of her voice goes straight to the soul. This concert revisits her album 20th Century Blues and her passion for Kurt Weill, especially the songs composer for his theater collaborations with Bertolt Brecht (among them "Alabama Song," "Pirate Jenny," "The Ballad of the Soldier's Wife," and "Surabaya Johnny"). Here Marianne reveals herself as an accomplished cabaret singer/ raconteur who combines the world-weariness of Marlene Dietrich with the raw expressiveness of Lotte Lenya.
