Just listened to this here:

Sounds amazing. I can't wait the one or two months to buy the album (even tho I fully intend to).

Does anyone have this in mp3 format or know where to get it? Thanks!

So, who listened to this and paused to praise her deity of choice for Stevie's modern voice?

Yes, it's deteriorated. But she doesn't sound like a dude.

I didn't listen to it...and don't have to. The first thing I thought of when I saw her name was that Metallica song with her going da da da ... Even back then I prayed Stevie would never sound that bad!!

Thank you for the link, I was really interested in hearing this after I read that it was going to happen.

Angel is my favorite FM/SN song, so I had to take a deep breath before clicking on the play button.

Well, it's okay, but I don't see that it adds anything to the orginal. At least it does not hurt too bad.

Finally... an FM cover that I actually enjoy! No, Marianne Faithfull has not been a chirpy soprano for, oh... going on 40 years. But I love the bittersweet darkness she brings to "Angel;" in fact, I think she quite owns this song, which is quite impressive when you consider that she probably has no idea what this song means (along with the rest of us!). But considering Stevie's and Marianne's strikingly parallel lives as youthful ingenues who transformed into American and British elder stateswomen via a hard life of rock and roll, booze, drugs and lousy lovers, perhaps she understands it instinctively... in words unspoken.
