Kirsty MacColl-Kite (1989)

I first came across this talented British songwriter many MANY years ago; anyone who remembers her 'fairytale of new york' (the pogues) may also remember her collaboration with billy bragg and others. This particular album stems from 1989 and is a pretty hard one to get a hold of. It features:
1. Innocence 2. Free World 3. Mother's Ruin 4. Days 5. No Victims 6. Fifteen Minutes 7. Don't Come The Cowboy With Me Sonny Jim 8. Tread Lightly 9. What Do Pretty Girls Do? 10. Dancing In Limbo 11. End Of A Perfect Day, The 12. You And Me Baby 13. You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby 14. La Foret De Mimosas 15. Complainte Pour Ste Catherine
some of which are available on 'greatest hits' type compilations. This really is a good album, with the sogngwriter demonstrating her ability to handle songs with different themes & styles. You may be able to hear backing tracks by such luminaries as Johnny Marr (guitar) from 'the smiths' and David Gilmour, Robbie McIntosh etc.
A very satisfying album representing an excellent cross-section of Kirsty MacColl's talents. Her early demise is a sad loss; she will be missed.(Amazon Review)
