Stardom Road

Released

Such is Marc Almond’s ability as a great interpreter of any number of musical styles that any time he produces a covers album it’s always worth a listen, and Stardom Road is just that. In this case it was partially prompted by a near-fatal accident impeding his songwriting, but he makes up for it several times over with wonderful versions of standards by Dusty Springfield, Roberta Flack, David Bowie, Bobby Darin — two songs, no less — and, via a cover of “Backstage,” a loving nod to his hit duet partner, the then-recently departed Gene Pitney.
