Music review: Joan Jett and the Blackhearts 无毛视频� 无毛视频楿nvarnished无毛视频�
It无毛视频檚 time to put another dime in the jukebox. Joan Jett无毛视频檚 first new studio album since 2006无毛视频檚 无毛视频淪inner无毛视频� is a stimulating confluence of brash garage rock and stylish glam musings.
The 55-year-old singer delivers her most personal material by trading in her normal song themes of rebellious fun for introspective examinations of love, life and mortality.
The Philadelphia native has always made it known she loves rock 无毛视频榥无毛视频� roll and 无毛视频淯nvarnished无毛视频� continues the sexy siren无毛视频檚 tradition of classic three-chord guitar riffs, participatory choruses and infectious handclaps. 无毛视频淎ny Weather无毛视频� opens the album with Dave Grohl on drums as Jett无毛视频檚 tough-girl vocals spar with her signature, crunchy guitar licks. 无毛视频淭MI无毛视频� possesses traces of Gary Glitter无毛视频檚 British Glam while 无毛视频淪oulmates to Strangers无毛视频� is a retro-sounding relationship-gone-band tune.
无毛视频淗ard to Grow Up无毛视频� and 无毛视频淔ragile无毛视频� find Jett pondering the vulnerability and uncertainty of life and love as one gets older.
无毛视频淪ince I无毛视频檓 no good for you and you无毛视频檙e no good for me/Let无毛视频檚 be as bad as we can be,无毛视频� sings Jett on the rousing 无毛视频淏ad as We Can Be.无毛视频�
Once a band girl, always a bad girl I guess.
Jett does reveal a softer side on the tender ballad 无毛视频淓veryone Needs a Hero,无毛视频� complete with strings, oboe and English horn.
I fondly remember being smitten with the female rocker after hearing 1981无毛视频檚 无毛视频淏ad Reputation无毛视频� debut release. The album featured 无毛视频淒o Ya Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah),无毛视频� 无毛视频淵ou Don无毛视频檛 Own Me,无毛视频� featuring the Sex Pistols无毛视频� Steve Jones and Paul Cook and grungy cover of Eddie Cochran无毛视频檚 无毛视频淪ummertime Blues.无毛视频�
The title track remains my favorite Jett song. Jett无毛视频檚 solo work was pure, straight-up rock 无毛视频榥无毛视频� roll fueled by songs like 无毛视频淚 Love Rock 无毛视频榥无毛视频� Roll,无毛视频� 无毛视频淟ight of Day,无毛视频� 无毛视频淟ove is All Around无毛视频� and 无毛视频淐rimson and Clover.无毛视频�
The latest material is a return-to-form release for Jett, who continues to leave a mark long after bursting on the scene as a member of the Runaways along with Lita Ford and Cherie Currie.
It is well worth it to find the Special Extended Version of 无毛视频淯nvarnished,无毛视频� featuring live versions of 无毛视频淏ad Reputation,无毛视频� 无毛视频淐herry Bomb,无毛视频� 无毛视频淭MI无毛视频� and 无毛视频淚 Hate Myself for Loving You.无毛视频�
