interview:
Patti Smith on 'Horses'' legacy, the significance of March 9, and lessons from a life's reflection

March 9 will be a significant day for Patti Smith’s fans in Milwaukee — and for Smith herself.

The poet, author and rock legend will be playing her first concert in town in 38 years, at the Milwaukee Theatre. And she’ll be performing the Patti Smith Group’s landmark debut album, 1975's “Horses,” in its entirety, a visceral tour-de-force that moved punk rock into the mainstream; influenced countless bands (from the Smiths to R.E.M. to Wisconsin’s own Garbage); and was preserved by the Library of Congress. By Smith’s side will be two musicians who recorded “Horses” with her in New York in 1975: guitarist Lenny Kaye, and drummer Jay Dee Daugherty....

Patti's great.  

 

I just scored an autographed vinyl copy of her Gung-Ho album, which was a return to form for her and the band.  It also features Lenny Kaye and J.D. Daugherty.

 

Too bad she doesn't get Ivan Kral back on bass.  He played on Horses and all of her early records, and was a key songwriting contributor in that period.
