A great album....she proves over and over why she is the Mother of punk.....in the best sense of the genre.
"G-L-O-R-I-A....GLORIA" Such a great version!!
Eric Andersen wrote "Black Crow" for Patti and they hung out at the Chelsea Hotel, played the streets of Beat Avenue, played music together, lived together a while.....lived the life of poet and poetess (early 70's).
What a cover!! Patti always sings like her life depends on it...awesome stuff! Great singing isn't vocal acrobatics, it's singing with feel and conviction as Patti does here. A lesson to all those American Idol/X-factor wanabees!
"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music".
