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 Blue Orchids The Greatest Hit (Money Mountain) Rock And Pop | Tiny Global Productions | 2LP Released 12th January 2024 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blue Orchids The Greatest Hit (Money Mountain) £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Tiny Global Productions SKU: PICI00552LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 12th January 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lou Reed I Never Said It Was Nice, Orpheum Theater, Boston, MA 76 Rock And Pop | Echoes | 180g, 2LP Released 20th November 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lou Reed I Never Said It Was Nice, Orpheum Theater, Boston, MA 76 £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Echoes SKU: ECHO2LP2043 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 20th November 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View R.E.M.
