Reverie (Cherie Currie album)

Reverie is the third full length studio album by Cherie Currie. Released on iTunes March 16, 2015. Cherie released the CD version of this album June 5, 2015 on her ebay page cheriecurriedirect. There is a 35 year gap between Cherie's last full length studio album, 1980's Messin' with the Boys (with Marie Currie), and 2015's Reverie. This is last studio album Kim Fowley produced before his death. Kim helped Cherie release this album to make amends with her after all the money he swindled her out of when she was in the Runaways and for releasing her and Marie's music on Young and Wild without their approval. After Kim's death Cherie's son, Jake Hays, took over producing.

Ex-bandmate, Lita Ford, and Cherie Currie sang the two Runaways' classics as duets. Cherie also recorded a duet with her son, Jake Hays, "Shades of Me".

Reception

RockRevolt Magazine wrote "Overall, I was surprised by this album for more reasons than one. Currie’s vocals are pretty damn strong on this album and a thing of beauty in their delivery of emotion and conviction on many of the tracks. She started out at the age of fifteen with no vocal training and even admits that she doesn’t sing a lot today, but you would never know it. She shows a lot of range and depth on this album that I am sure will surprise quite a few people."

Reverie (Marion, Alabama)

Reverie is a historic Greek Revival mansion built circa 1858 in Marion, Perry County, Alabama. It now serves as a residence and also historic house museum. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property to the West Marion Historic District and was recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey. It is featured in Ralph Hammond's Antebellum Mansions of Alabama, Gregory Hatcher's Reverie Mansion and Gardens, and Jennifer Hale's Historic Plantations of Alabama's Black Belt.

History

The property on which Reverie sits was sold on February 9, 1858 for $4,000, a large sum in that day, to Joseph Thompson Whitsitt, a planter (according to the census) and railroad investor. Wartime financial reverses led Mr. Whitsitt to sell the mansion on November 28, 1862 for $10,000 to Edward Kenworthy Carlisle, a wealthy cotton broker who also owned one of the finest mansions in Alabama, Kenworthy Hall, located only a few miles away.

Carlisle shortly sold the house again on April 28, 1863 to David Scott, a merchant and cotton, grist, and saw mill operator and manufacturer. Scott died on August 9, 1868, and left a will recording the furnishings of the mansion at that time. Harrison H. Hurt, son of a prominent merchant and planter, bought the mansion in 1871 at auction for $4,650. Mr. Hurt's daughter Nellie married Dr. R.C. Hanna and the mansion became known as the Hurt-Hanna House.
