Our Take

Patti Smith, the iconic punk poetess, has curated a vinyl collection for Record Store Day 2022 that is a true gem for music enthusiasts. This limited edition release features a selection of handpicked tracks from Smith’s personal music library, showcasing her diverse taste and undeniable passion for music.

The album kicks off with the raw energy of "Gloria" by The Doors, setting the tone for what’s to come. Smith’s eclectic choices range from the psychedelic sounds of The Velvet Underground to the folk rock stylings of Bob Dylan, creating a sonic journey that is both familiar and surprising.

One standout track is Smith’s own rendition of "Because the Night", a powerful and emotional performance that showcases her unique vocal stylings and poetic lyricism. The raw intensity of her voice combined with the driving guitar riffs make this a standout moment on the album.

Smith’s curation is a testament to her enduring influence in the music industry and her ability to transcend genres and styles. This collection is a must-have for any music lover looking to dive deep into the mind of one of the most influential artists of our time. So grab your copy, put on your headphones, and let Patti Smith guide you through a musical journey like no other.

About the artist

Patti Smith

Patti Smith, the legendary rocker known for her revolutionary spirit and poetic lyrics, has been shaking up the music scene for over four decades. With her unique blend of punk, poetry, and rock 'n' roll, Smith has cemented her place as one of the most influential artists in the industry. Born in Chicago in 1946, Smith moved to New York City in the early 1970s and quickly became a fixture in the downtown music scene. With her band The Patti Smith Group, she released her debut album "Horses" in 1975, which is still regarded as a classic today. With songs like "Gloria" and "Land of a Thousand Dances," Smith's raw, unapologetic energy captivated audiences and critics alike. But Smith is not just a musician—she is also an accomplished poet, writer, and visual artist. Her memoir "Just Kids," which chronicles her relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, won the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2010. And her photography and visual art have been exhibited in galleries around the world. Despite her many accolades and accomplishments, Smith remains humble and down-to-earth. She continues to perform live, enchanting audiences with her powerful vocals and electric stage presence. With her trademark mix of punk attitude and poetic sensibility, Patti Smith is a true icon of the music world and a force to be reckoned with.
