The right bass line rolling through a track can catapult it to greatness; the late 70’s had it down. Marianne Faithfull is among few living legends; she was the muse to one of the greatest band of all time. After a decade addled with heroine, cocaine, and anorexia, she makes a complete comeback with an album all her own. In 1979 she released Broken English; her gravelly voice and throwback to disco ring through my ears long after she’s done.
The rhythm guitar of Mark Knopfler is so unassuming it almost seems effortless. The lead in track ‘Down to The Waterline’ from their self titled first release in 1978 is an essential listen.
