A Child's Adventure

A Child's Adventure

Allusions to this comeback kid's precarious grip on sobriety abound on Marianne Faithfull's exceedingly well-crafted follow-up to Broken English's ravaged perfection. "Falling from Grace", "Ashes in My Hand," "Running for Our Lives," and "She's Got a Problem" all provide smooth, hooky, midtempo glimpses into the spry survivor's personal darkness. The scary "Times Square" and folkie protest "Ireland" project these inner spaces onto other bleak early-'80s geographies.
