Courtney Love Goes Country (Almost)
The December 14th issue of Rolling Stone has a preview of Courtney Love's upcoming comeback album, How Dirty Girls Get Clean. The article discloses details on the evolution of the songs on the 10-track album and features quotes from uber-producer Linda Perry, who recorded the sessions. Linda discusses her and Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan's involvement and reveals that Love's songs were intially country-ish in style.
"When Courtney brought me these songs, they all sounded country to me, so when Billy came in, he helped take out the country...they have a working relationship, but they're also fun, like cackling schoolgirls."
Gushing over Love's lyrical prowess, Perry said
"Courtney is a storyteller...I had this vision of Courtney sitting in her chair telling a story, with everybody on the floor around her. And people just listened. They got the drama and the pain and laughed at all the right times. But she stayed in control and let people hear what she was going through. And that's the kind of record we made."
The article reports that Love is raising her artistic bar with Dirty Girls, calling the album,
"...her best collection of songs since 1994's Live Through This"
and
"...a stark portrait of struggle and redemption."
A BBC documentary, The Return of Courtney Love, about the making of the album will premiere stateside on VH1, December 16th. How Dirty Girls Get Clean will be released in February via Perry's Custard label.
