Analogman Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 A new album will feature her renditions of tunes from Nirvana, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young, among others. 2007 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Patti Smith has announced she'll cover songs from the likes of Nirvana, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young, among others on a forthcoming album, Billboard.com reports. The album, whose tracks and title have yet to be named, is set to drop in late March or early April and will also feature covers of Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, and others "you'd be very surprised at," Smith told Billboard. "It has been a real adventure doing these songs. I've always wanted to do a cover record, but I didn't think I had the range. But now, I feel really on the top of my game." The album is set to feature guest appearances by Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea, Television guitarist Tom Verlaine, and Black Crowes' Richard Robinson, as well.

mountain bed Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Have you ever heard Patti Smith cover Hunter/Garcia's "Black Peter"? I generally like Patti but her version is bad beyond belief. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I think I have - I don't like her to begin with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imsjry Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I think I have - I don't like her to begin with. Really? I think you may be the first person I know of with the guts to diss Patti Smith! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Just not my cup of tea - I respect her though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

squarewave Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Did anyone talk about Billy Joel's pitch correction yet? That was weird.I thought Cher was singing "Do you belEEEVe in life..." IMO, Billy Joel needed to do a farewell tour and hang it up a decade ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
