Award-winning English singer, songwriter and actress Marianne Faithfull presents her 23rd solo album, 'Horses and High Heels'. The album, which was recorded in the New Orleans French Quarter in September and October, features eight cover versions and four original new songs co-written by Marianne. Four songs feature the virtuoso guitar playing of John Porter, a musician/producer friend most noted for his work with Roxy Music, Eric Clapton and The Smiths.
The Hal Willner produced album also includes one song with lyrics specially written for her by Irish playwright Frank McGuiness (the evocative "The Old House"), two cameo appearances on guitar from another old friend, Lou Reed, plus further cameos from Dr. John and MC5's Wayne Kramer.
