    An artful, often rocking collection of cover songs from Faithfull. Her worn voice requires just the right fight with both song and production, which she manages on most of this two disk set. Covers of Parton's "Down From Dover" and Morrissey's "Oh God, Please Help Me" are standouts. Neko Case's "Hold on, Hold on" is a marvel.

    Been reading some reviews that seem to think the music doesn't stay with you. It does. This has been the only CD in my player for about eight weeks now. I'm a fan anyway; the sound is so clean its astonishing (great recording). Another fabulous recored although yes, I would have preferred harder "Before the Poison"-type music. But the surprises of each new Faithfull release make Been reading some reviews that seem to think the music doesn't stay with you. It does.

    If you are patient, there is more than enough here to hold your attention and take you on journeys through love, lust, tragedy, and longing and bring you home again.

    Her interpretations of songbook classics from the likes of Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard, and Smokey Robinson (as well as a few relative youngsters, including Neko Case and the Decemberists) are gratifyingly intimate and rough-hewn, and the production is gorgeous--even if it does, as its title implies, fail to leave a lasting impact.

    For most of its lengthy running time, though, Easy Come, Easy Go is terrific.
