(TV) review of 'land 1975-2002'
Review of Patti Smith's "Land 1975-2002":
http://www.flakmag.com/music/psmith.html
The second disc is one of those "for
diehards only" affairs . . . Best of all
is the cut "Piss Factory," recorded
independently in 1974 (with Tom Verlaine
playing lead guitar) before Smith made
her New York splash. It may be a bit earnest,
even awkward in spots, but it's a fascinating
tale of working class resentment and anger,
and is the best example on these two discs
of Smith's ability to mix improvisational
poetry and rock riffs without compromise.
