Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released simultaneously with her pop-oriented debut, 'Come My Way' is a stark, purely acoustic record that highlights Marianne Faithfull's deep roots in the folk revival. Arranged with minimal accompaniment by Jon Mark, she delivers traditional English ballads alongside early Bob Dylan covers with a haunting, unadorned purity. The album perfectly captures the solemn, authentic folk persona she maintained alongside her mainstream pop success.
