Page HERALD Wednesday My 19N Are Mariannes fans still Faithful By Ann Vare Someone once said that Marianne have a career so much as she has a series of come backs She herself refers to her van incarnations There was the sweet pop singer of the 60s better known as Mick Jag girlfriend who made a hit of As Tears Go By ROCK ON Then there was the doom and gloom punk poetess of the 80s writ Her own lyrics like the critically acclaimed Broken English and charting a well publicized path to self destruction Blazing Away her upcoming LP on Island Records is s first release in more than three years But it the first album she s recorded in more than three years She com an LP a year ago tnat Chris founder and No man at Island refused to put out still think it was a lovely album says in her smoky voice But Blackwell didnt like it As far as I can tell what was wrong with it was that it t tragic enough It painful enough It t dark enough After all this is the woman who wrote Sister Morphine and Falling From Grace and shocked the world with the profane rage of Why Do It Nobody expected her to write an album full of songs that were as she put it bubbling with optimism and light What happened Quite simply this woman who was as famous for being a drug as she was a singer got clean and sober She got married to a rather round and jojlv Italian years her junior she s She started feeling for the first time in her life some happiness She admits It was a tremendous worry at first what happens if I let go of my pain and likes my re cords anymore And 1 sure I have lost some of my audience There are people who find it difficult lo take that I m I m not drinking happily married It me angry at first and then started to see it was quite funn There s nothing can do it she shrugs I m completely commit ted to staying clean and if that meant I lost my career and nobody liked GINOS PIZZA BUY ONE GET ONE FREE ON ANY SIZE PIZZA FREE DELIVERY Alter 184GuelphSt Georgetown 8734499 hTh

essentially boss stopped being her No fan I don think would ever say Oh I liked her better when she was messed up suggests The feelings aren t even conscious But he knew me as a helpless needy junkie I needed him so ver very much And now I don and thats hard Changing relationships and the dif ficulty of emerging from a 25 year drug induced fog are some of the top ics approaches in new songs like When I Find My Lire and Blaz Away the fresh tracks on what is essentially a live greatest hits com pilation The difference between them and say The Ballad of Lucy Jordan is extraordinary Marianne This optimism and light you can t really damp it down smiles Faith full ruefulh They re people ist going to have to accept it It may take a h well just have to educate people A long slow road she But it fun if BURGER Georgetown STARTING MAY CHUNKY CHICKEN SALAD M Of DC Colin James just shrugs off cold By D1AHANN NADEAU Herald Special Blue rock guitarist Colin James performed in front of a wet cold and less than sober crowd on Sun day night in Carlisle Despite at weather conditions flying fireworks and beer James put on a terrific show by the missiles and rain James who is about years of age shines in his blues numbers His versionof Morgan Davis s Why You Lie remains one of his best songs and he opened another tune with a mini shot of Robert Johnson Stones in My one of the most menacing songs in the blues repertory The opening riffs were full of power and violence played in a most dramatic style An excellent guitarist Colin shows so much talent in his pure blues tunes that one wishes he would do a set of blues covers what could he do to a Howlin Wolf song His rock songs are certainly fine as his hits Voodoo Thing Five Long Year s prove Songs from his new album Sudden Stop due out June 18 mix rock and blues and the title song is a bluesy ballad with some very appealing hooks VIDEO PLUS West of Georgetown F I Wotkel BRING HOME A STAR HOT SPECIAL NEW RELEASES 1 every day WOW
