		Kaye was there to back her on guitar during a poetry reading at a New York church in 1971.
		Kaye and Smith were together in Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom Saturday for the first time since 1978, joined by Oliver Ray (guitar), Tony Shanahan (bass) and Jay-Dee Daugherty (drums).
		Kaye saluted Todd's memory at the Commodore with a cover of the Yardbirds' "For Your Love" while Smith sat near the front of the stage, sipping a cup of tea to rest her strained voice.

		Rock critic Lenny Kaye, the author of You Call It Madness, brought interesting credentials to his task: He was the lead guitarist for the Patti Smith Group and a pioneer of psychedelic music in the 1970s.
		Kaye's book is a hybrid of fiction and history, written under the stylistic influence of his collaborations with Smith and Allen Ginsberg.
		Kaye's knowledge across the entire spectrum of popular culture is encyclopedic, but it becomes his greatest liability.

	Modest obsession \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Although he was previously a rock critic, for the past three decades Kaye has been known as the guitar player for punk icon Patti Smith; as part of the Patti Smith Group in 1975, they created "Horses," a landmark rock 'n' roll album.
		Kaye brings true passion to his obsession, and he adopts a novelistic writing style that combines the shorthand approach of Walter Winchell, whose vintage columns echoed the rat-a-tat of the manual typewriter, and the music scholarship of Peter Guralnick.
		In fact, Kaye's strength as a writer is the weakness of most musical biographers: the ability to analyze the music itself, without being overly technical.

	JS Online: Story of crooner takes rocker on sentimental journey
		Leave it to Lenny Kaye to find a link between psychedelic rock bands of the 1960s and a long-forgotten crooner who's known - if he's known at all - for the bizarre way he died 70 years ago this fall.
		Kaye has been as influential as a music writer as he has as a musician.
		Kaye was fascinated by the performer's low, warm voice, but even more fascinated by the DJ's story about him.

		Meanwhile, Lenny Kaye was also working on a compilation of garage rock songs, Nuggets, which came out in 1972.
		With this carefully organized double album, Kaye made a successful case for the suburban basement as prime breeding grounds for good music, an idea that would be cherished by the punk movement he was helping to create.
		Kaye formed the Lenny Kaye Connection in 1980, worked as a record producer, and continued his journalism career, writing for Addicted to Noise, Cream and Rolling Stone.

		It was Kaye whose writings and guitar playing inspired a then fledgling poet/playwright/actress named Patti Smith to put her words to music on February 10, 1971, when he joined her for what we'd now call a spoken-word performance at St. Mark's Church.
		Kaye went on to demonstrate that process in action, not just by making culture-forming music with Smith, but by compiling lost gems from the previous decade of American proto-punk psychedelic garage rock on the two-LP Nuggets compilation that Elektra issued in 1972.
		I had a band called the Lenny Kaye Connection, I really worked hard to get a deal, and for whatever reason I was never in the right place at the right time.

		Wearing the hats of critic, musician, compiler, and producer over the course of his long career, Lenny Kaye is an undervalued contributor to the genesis of punk rock.
		Kaye was born and raised in New Brunswick, NJ, and as a teenager played in the sort of garage band later documented on Nuggets.
		Kaye had been keeping up his writing career, most prominently working with David Dalton on the 1977 rock encyclopedia Rock 100; out on his own, he formed a new band, called the Lenny Kaye Connection, in 1980.

		Lenny Kaye was born and bred in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and initially recorded as a solo artist under the pseudonym Link Cromwell (Particularly worthwhile seeking out is the single "Crazy Like a Fox" b/w "Shock Me", recorded Fall 1965 -- a surprising little piece of folky-tinged slighty proto-psychedelic acapella-cum-garage rock-n-roll)
		Kaye became the lead guitarist for the Patti Smith Group and helped the band establish itself as an influential force on the seventies rock scene.
		Kaye said much of the music of the Patti Smith Group was the result of experimentation and improvisation.

		Kaye is obviously a committed historian, who has researched his subject in great detail, and he has an impressive and almost intuitive understanding of how the new technological advances of the era, such as the microphone, impacted on the culture of the times.
		Kaye has a compelling, and very distinctive writing style, and his characteristic voice rings throughout the novelistic telling of his tale.
		This talented writer is also a musician of much accomplishment (he is lead guitarist and original accomplice of the legendary Patti Smith) and this background leads to some penetrating insights into the fascinating relationship between the musician, his audience and his instrument.

		Kaye was at the Continental to host a release party featuring more than twenty New York bands performing their favorite Nuggets.
		In Kaye's hands, Nuggets became a testament to the exhilarating spirit of the early American garage band or punk ethic.

		In this ambitious narrative of a moment in music history, Kaye, a musician and coauthor of Waylon, highlights the age of crooning in early 1930s New York City.
		Kaye takes a novelistic approach, a style that gets in the way of an otherwise good and detailed history.
		But Kaye has done his research, and his characterizations of each singer are clever, with such insightful observations as "At the New York Paramount, Bing Crosby is riding out over the audience on a giant mechanical crane....

		Crosby was not alone, Patti Smith Group guitarist and music journalist Lenny Kaye writes in this enjoyable work of musical archaeology, its title -- "You Call It Madness: The Sensuous Song of the Croon" -- borrowed from an influential standard of the Jazz Age that turns up again and again in Kaye's pages.
		Kaye notes, borrowing the voice of his hero, the now little-remembered artist Russ -- born Ruggiero -- Columbo: "You had to watch out for him.
		By 1933, Kaye writes, "crooning had settled into the country at large," and Hollywood moved in to celebrate the new domestication with films and shorts like "Should Crooners Marry?" and "College Humor." Crosby's career hit a fast track.

		There are lots of things we could say about Lenny Kaye by way of introduction to the following interview.
		After all, Lenny has been involved with rock and roll on many different levels - from his concern with rock's early heroes with his "Nuggets" album compilations, his book with David Dalton, "Rock 100",- his contributions as a rock joumalist, his varied efforts to promote rock on radio...
		But none of these things explain Lenny as clearly as the work he's done with Patti Smith in the 1970's to continue the development of rock & roll as music and energy.

		Kaye also played with the Jim Carroll Band, of course, so that was an added enticement.
		Carroll and Kaye continued with "Catholic Boy," which they performed almost flawlessly, and then a medley that was perhaps the highlight of the evening.
		To top it all off, Kaye didn't know when to end the song, so another amusing moment was when Carroll finished the last verse and Kaye was still going.

		As with everything else hes ever done, Lenny Kaye has made basic grunts and bleats of modern music seems both heady and primitive, both lush and raw, both professorial and punk.

		In a way, this was the perfect show to do to take my (and perhaps your) mind off the anxieties and tensions we're all feeling in these final days of what seems like an endless campaign and a rough three and half years.
		But as Lenny pointed out, the era of the crooner was not without it's troubles as well: the world was barely recovering from a deviating European war when the Great Depression hit America and the rumblings of the Second World War were already being heard.

		As guitarist of the Patti Smith Group, Kaye's primitivist noise and capacity for loosely structured improvisation made him the perfect accompanist for punk pioneer Smith's earthy free-verse poetry.
		Under an alias, Kaye fronted the local combo Link Cromwell and the Zoo, which recorded a psychedelic/folk/garage single in 1965 titled "Crazy Like a Fox." Eventually, Kaye began working in a record store on Bleecker Street and writing magazine articles on rock and roll.
		An essay on doo wop for Jazz and Pop magazine caught the attention of Patti Smith, who sought Kaye out at the record store and, in February 1971, asked him to accompany her spoken-word performance at St. Mark's Church (their first collaboration).
