handmade, perfectly done

The important thing first: this review has emerged after listening to the album and the reputation of the documentation for the making of the album (even at youtube.com "Marianne Faithfull EPK" googling). The knowledge of the origin, the musicians involved, the atmosphere in the studio deepens the dimension of the album. It is a handcrafted album with real musicians, with a passion-producers, and with Marianne that "in absolute greate Voice" (producer Hal Willner in the above documentation) in the best sense.
At first listen, I had fast favorites: the entschlackte "The Station", the acoustic "Love Song", the epic "Thats how every Empire Falls". The exciting thing is: with each listen you discover new depths - "Horses & High Heels" is an album for Auslosten, for listening-in one (two, three ...) glass of red wine. Definitely listen to an album, do not listen to the way that it was said.
The vinyl version with two bonus tracks: "Fragile Weapon" (also known as mp3) and "I dont want to know". The latter is a slow song in which Marianne Faithfull sings with the whole experience of a lifetime of pain avoidance through the off-road-walking. For me, this is a song for the on-the-knee-fall - so vulnerable, sore, sad, defiant as it is sung. One reason to opt for the vinyl version of the album. As says the guitarist Doug Pettibone, who accompanied Marianne Faithfull also also their "intimate" tour in 2010, in the documentation: ".. She sings her heart out She can sing a many ... and make you cry" There is nothing to add. By comparison, I personally like "Horses & High Heels" better than "Easy Come, Easy Go" - I see it as a closed in itself. Newly completely absorbed in one place. Great. "Jump for Joy", in Marianne's own words.
