One For The Soul Lizzy Mercier Descloux SKU: LITA139LP Barcode: 826853013918 22.00 £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Light In The Attic Released Date: 12th February 2016 Buying Format: 1LP Includes Download Code Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info By the time poet, singer-songwriter, and artist Lizzy Mercier Descloux recorded 1984’s Zulu Rock, she’d marked herself out as both a globe trotter with more passport stamps than Tintin and a musical innovator whose loose, arty spirit could be applied to styles as varied as no wave, Bavarian oompa and Soweto jive. She’d also established a tight-knit threesome with muse/former lover Michel Esteban and producer/on-off lover Adam Kidron, who all reunited to follow Zulu Rock – a surprise hit in her native France – with something that, once again, represented a complete about-turn. The location, this time, was Rio De Janeiro, a suitably exotic location to follow their sojourn in Soweto given that Brazil had recently emerged from twenty years of dictatorship. But unlike Zulu Rock’s broad appropriation of the local sound, One For The Soul borrows very liberally from Brazilian culture. The aim, says Kidron, was to “reimagine the blues”, but Lizzy’s musical essence was in flux. “A Word Is A Wah” meshes reggae with her beloved accordion, “Women Don’t Like Me” is wild, new wave pop, and she even wanders into soul territory, with whispery lounge versions of Al Green’s “Simply Beautiful”. Most notable is the album’s foray into jazz, and the fact that Chet Baker, the master jazz trumpeter, blew his last on “Fog Horn Blues” and the sensuous “Off Off Pleasure”. Rio was to be the last great hurrah of Lizzy and Michel’s global recording adventures, and although work proceeded apace, the experience was often quite tense. “The sessions were tough work,” says Kidron, in the new liner notes by Vivien Goldman accompanying this deluxe reissue. “Lizzy never quite got singing, no matter how much she drank, and no matter how hard she tried. Chet was very much at the drug-ravaged end of his life and had very little stamina or dexterity left… but there is a deep, sad, lyrical tone to his performances on the album.” So fraught were the sessions, it’s a miracle that such a cohesive, sparky record emerged. The record-buying public did not agree, and as the album crashed and burned, so did the relationship between its three heroes. Lizzy was, for the first time, about to take on the world alone – and there was but one album left in her. * Remastered from the original tapes * Essay by “Punk Professor” Vivien Goldman, interviewing key players * LP Includes download card for full album + 2 bonus tracks Artist Lizzy Mercier Descloux Genre Rock And Pop Label Light In The Attic Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 1 One For The Soul 2 Simply Beautiful 3 Fog Horn Blues 4 Women Don’t Like Me 5 My Funny Valentine 6 Sound Of Leblon Beach / Garden Of Alas 7 God-Spell Me Wrong 8 Off Off Pleasure 9 Long Voodoo Ago 10 Queen Of Overdub Kisses 11 A World Is A Whah 12 Scala Saga Samba 13 Love Streams 14 Let’s Get It On (Bonus Track)* 15 Bravado (Bonus Track)* * Bonus Tracks on Download Card Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Lizzy Mercier Descloux and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Lizzy Mercier Descloux Press Color Rock And Pop | Light In The Attic | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 13th August 2015 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lizzy Mercier Descloux Press Color £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Light In The Attic SKU: LITA134LP Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 13th August 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lizzy Mercier Descloux Suspence Rock And Pop | Light In The Attic | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th February 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lizzy Mercier Descloux Suspence £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Light In The Attic SKU: LITA140LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lizzy Mercier Descloux Zulu Rock Rock And Pop | Light In The Attic | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th February 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lizzy Mercier Descloux Zulu Rock £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Light In The Attic SKU: LITA138LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Katie Bejsiuk The Woman On The Moon Rock And Pop | Double Double Whammy | 1LP Released 1st July 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Katie Bejsiuk The Woman On The Moon £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Double Double Whammy SKU: LPDDW086 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blood Sweat and Tears Child is Father to the Man Rock And Pop | Sundazed | 180g, 1LP Released 15th December 2009 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blood Sweat and Tears Child is Father to the Man £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5278 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th December 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Janis Joplin California 1962: The Early Years Rock And Pop | Jambalaya | 1LP Released 7th April 2017 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Janis Joplin California 1962: The Early Years £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jambalaya SKU: JAM13016 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th April 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View William Tyler Goes West – Indies Only Rock And Pop | Merge Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 25th January 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders William Tyler Goes West – Indies Only £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Merge Records SKU: MRG645LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Men They Couldn't Hang, The Silver Town Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 14th June 2024 £32.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Men They Couldn't Hang, The Silver Town £32.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2701T Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th June 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Boy & Bear Harlequin Dream Rock And Pop | Nettwerk | 1LP Released 1st December 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Boy & Bear Harlequin Dream £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Nettwerk SKU: 4860245 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eric Clapton/BB King Riding With The King Blues | Rhino | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 19th June 2014 £42.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eric Clapton/BB King Riding With The King £42.00 Genre: Blues Label: Rhino SKU: 9362476121 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 19th June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kylie Minogue Impossible Princess Rock And Pop | BMG | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 21st October 2022 £25.00 -
