Review
Dave Clarke
Horses & High Heels is solo album number 23 from the award-winning English singer, songwriter and actress. It was recorded in the New Orleans French Quarter in September and October of 2010 and features eight cover versions and four original new songs co-written by Marianne; and four songs which feature the virtuoso guitar playing of John Porter, a musician/ producer friend most noted for his work withRoxy 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.
