As previously noted, I've been slowly but surely rebuilding my CD collection, picking up old faves here and there--mostly at Village Discount Outlet and Reckless Records (pre-Pandemic, of course) and occasionally ordering from Amazon Marketplace.
One old fave I recently re-added to my collection? 1000 Fires by Traci Lords.
Yes, I know what you're thinking: "You've got to be joking--an album by Traci Lords? THAT Traci Lords?
Yes. An album. By Traci Lords. THAT Traci Lords.
1000 Fires is the first (and, so far, only) album by the B-movie actress--and, yes, former underage porn star.
You might not expect much. But? You might also be surprised.
From the techno beat of the opening track, "Control," Lords brings danceable tunes throughout this album, with a couple of notable exceptions (especially "Father's Field," an account of child molestation), and her voice is remarkably strong from song to song.
I really love this little album. You might, too.
