First as a doe-eyed ingenue with "As Tears Go By," then as a
gravel-voiced phoenix rising from the ashes of the 1960s with a
landmark punk album, Broken English, and finally as a genre-less
icon, Marianne Faithfull carved her name into the history of rock
'n' roll to chart a career spanning five decades and multiple
detours. In Why Marianne Faithfull Matters, Tanya Pearson crafts a
feminist account that explains the musician's absence from the
male-dominated history of the British Invasion and champions the
eclectic late career that confirmed her redemption. Putting memoir
on equal footing with biographical history, Pearson writes about
Faithfull as an avid fan, recovered addict, and queer musician at a
crossroads. She's also a professional historian unafraid to break
from the expectations of the discipline if a "titty-centered
analysis" or astrology can illuminate the work of her subject.
Whether exploring Faithfull's rise to celebrity, her drug addiction
and fall from grace as spurned "muse," or her reinvention as a
sober, soulful chanteuse subverting all expectations for an aging
woman in music, Pearson affirms the deep connections between
listeners and creators and reveals, in her own particular way, why
Marianne Faithfull matters.
