Courtney Love - Nobody's Daughter Demos (2009)

This is "Nobody's Daughter" the way original producer Linda Perry envisioned. With the leak of the original versions of Samantha and Sunset Marquis last week, we finally have the full record the way it was recorded with Linda.

Courtney is very focused on the lyrics here, with each song telling a tale sadder and more tragic than the next. From Pacific Coast Highway "Now they're coming to take me away, what I want I will never have, I'm on the pacific coast highway with your gun in my hand..." to Happy Ending Story "Hey for every end in tragedy, I will twist your heart out..." to For Once In Your Life "I am the only perfect choice, I've met my match I've lost my voice, and when you're gone It gets so cold, I swear I'm too young to feel this old, this old...".

The album is filled with lyrical gems, and it stands as confirmation that Courtney is one of the best and most underated female lyricists alive. However, as it stands here, I don't think this album is great enough to gain back the respect Courtney lost in the music world over the past 10 years. I think she made the right decision in scrapping this version of the album and going into the studio with "Celebrity Skin" producer Michael Beinhorn. Even if that means we have to wait another year for the album.
