Electric Landlady is Kirsty MacColl's third studio album. Released in 1991, it was her second Capitol Records release and second collaboration with producer/husband Steve Lillywhite. The title was given when MacColl found it to be the name that was accidentally written on some early pressings of Jimi Hendrix's album Electric Ladyland.[2]
Landlady was MacColl's most successful U.S. release, owing to the lead track "Walking Down Madison", which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The longest song of the album, it features guest vocals by rapper Aniff Cousins, and was originally written for Alison Moyet.[3]
