When last heard from, the wonderful singer songwriter was somewhere in China celebrating a UN For Peace date and playing a song she had composed bearly a week early, "Piece For Peace". A wonderful piece of agit-rock with Tomas Doncker's band playing a full bloodied assault behind her. far from peaceful but filled with the spirit of hope and maybe antagonism.A month later and Marla is taking herself back on the road but closer to home, for a four night tour of New England, in support of the Deluxe version of last years Speak. The album is a thing of beauty, where the structure of rock and roll and the scripture of art meet in the world. As likely to rock as it is to delve into spoken word, it has elements of Patti Smith as we haven't heard in a long, long time. Listen to "Scream" for a lesson in thought and action. And has anyone ever got more out of two words, "Divine" and "restlesness" before?
