Recorded at The Teatro, Oxnard, California in July 1998.
It's been a long strange trip from Jagger to motorcycles to Lucy Jordan to the Weimar Republic for the ex-convent girl whose once virginal tones graced "As Tears Go By" and "This Little Bird." Maintaining a balance between folk and pop, she managed to score a couple of hits in the '60s before the drugs kicked in. Re-emerging with the acclaimed BROKEN ENGLISH at the end of the '70s (with huskier vocals that betrayed her turbulent lifestyle) Faithfull recorded a number of rock albums for Island before exploring the music of '20s Berlin with 20TH CENTURY BLUES.
She certainly bares her soul in the semi-autobiographical VAGABOND WAYS. In "Incarceration Of A Flower Child" the subject is "sunk without hope in a haze of good dope and cheap wine." In the title track she sings "I drink and I take drugs, I love sex and I move around a lot." In the Cohen-esque "File It Under Fun From The Past" she pines for a lost love. The Leonard Cohen feel continues with a version of his "Tower Of Song." Faithfull has lived most of this at one time or another. You can hear it in her voice.
