Search - Joan Jett & the Blackhearts :: Good Music

Hasty recording

"Recorded very quickly by Jett, just after she completed her acting chores for "Light Of Day", Joan signed to a new label and gave them a soft, hurried sell. The title track(despite some forced, car-commercial uplift)is tuneful(and much better here than on the butchered-for-time 45 release)and "If Ya Want My Luv" is decidedly ominous, but new fans of Jett's won't appreciate this album being layered in a sugar-coating that gets repetitive, at times even annoying. And the record is awfully brief--couldn't they have issued this with some outtakes(the B-side of "Good Music" was "Fantasy", which ended up on FLASHBACK)?"

Outstanding

"In my opinion the best studio album of the queen of rock'n'roll. There is a whole lot of great songs on it: ?Good Music", ?This Means War", ?Roadrunner" (by Jonathan Richman), ?Fun Fun Fun" (by the Beach Boys) and ?You Got Me Floatin'" (by Jimmy Hendrix). My favorite Joan Jett song however is ?Light Of Day" (by Bruce Springsteen). (Caution: This title is not contained on all CD versions!). Also the semi autobiographic movie with the same title is quite worth seeing. I am still waiting for a live album of Joan Jett!"

Another Great CD From The Queen Of Guitar Rock!
