Patti Smith | Peace and Noise

I thought Patti Smith's GONE was overrated. Then paradoxically 1997's PEACE AND NOISE went largely unnoticed. It's a terrific record. Very much her own -- straight-ahead rock 'n' roll; guitar, bass, and drums; the lyrics--totally tribal poetry. It's an education in itself. There aren't albums like that anymore--except this one.
