Patti Smith, Hey Joe / Piss Factory - "Hey Joe [Version]"
After watching a documentary highlighting the early career of one of Punk music's most iconic artist, I came across the first released single "Hey Joe". It was fascinating to hear for the first time; the intertwining of this traditional American song with the Patty Hearst saga of the mid-70's and allusions of Jimi Hendrix's throbbing guitar style. Patti's lyrical improvsation are so explict and raw , full of passion. She puts herself into every note of her art.Rotation 2
The Pretenders, B-Side of Back in the Chain Gang - "My City Was Gone"
While Chrissie Hynde just released a new album, I'm going back to 1982 and her work with The Pretenders for my pick this week. Hynde's lyrics are very strong about the negative development in her hometown of Akron, Ohio. Although it has a deep message, there is something really simple yet catchy with the bass on this song.___________________________________________
