Strange Weather

The album "Strange Weather" by the renowned British musician Marianne Faithfull, released in 1987 on Island Records, represents one of her most artistically mature and intriguing releases from that period. Produced by Hal Willner, known for his conceptual and film music projects, the album brings a carefully selected collection of covers of traditional songs, blues classics, jazz standards and pop numbers. The recognizable, deeply hoarse and experienced vocals of the lead singer give each song a unique weight, melancholy and authentic nightclub atmosphere.

The Yugoslav licensed edition released in 1987 by Jugoton provided domestic fans of quality sound with access to this exceptional musical material. The tracklist includes impressive interpretations such as the title track "Strange Weather" by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan, the classic "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", and a new, stripped-down version of her own hit "As Tears Go By". Featuring such top musicians as guitarists Bill Frisell and Robert Quine, the album offers a stripped-down, minimalistic sound that emphasizes interpretation and emotion.

This vinyl release is a treasured collector's item for fans of art-pop, blues, and vocal jazz. With its uncompromising aesthetic and atmospheric nature, "Strange Weather" remains a lasting testament to the unique survival and artistic rebirth of one of the most charismatic icons of the British scene.
