	Patti Smith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Patti Smith Group was signed by Clive Davis of Arista Records, and 1975 saw the release of Smith's first album Horses, produced amidst some tension by John Cale, formerly of The Velvet Underground.
		Although Smith has never had a RIAA certified record, has had just one Top 20 single, and has yet to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, she is regarded as one of the most influential and important artists in rock history.
		Smith was an active supporter of Ralph Nader's 2000 presidential campaign, touring with him and playing "People Have the Power" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" before crowds of thousands at the campaign's "super-rallies." She also performed at several of Nader's subsequent "Democracy Rising" events.

		Like Television, Smith is considered one of the pioneers of punk rock, yet her group and Verlaine's influential band had a different set of intentions from those of the Ramones and the Sex Pistols.

	Why Patti Smith Mattered
		Smith was one of the genre's most prolific artists regardless of medium.
		Smith was also one of the few (if not first) women to succeed in rock music without becoming a sex symbol.
		Smith moves from the hedonistic perspective of a male rock musician in "Gloria" to the scene of locker-room violence with a backdrop of 1960s soul classics in "Land." "Land," an anthem to the underdog, weaves the tale of the hero, Johnny, getting beat up in the locker room.

	Salon: Patti Smith
		Smith has always seemed like nothing so much as a warrior, armed with poetry that could pierce like steel, fearlessly staking out her own territory even as she urged listeners to claim theirs, too.
		Smith's sadness rages and wanes -- even the layout of the songs seems to underscore the mutability of grief, its inability to be nailed down as one unchanging emotion.
		Smith's lyrics here are plainer, less turned, than her earlier work, but they never fall into the pseudomystical "We move with the sun and the planets" kind of pap that artists sometimes drag out when they get carried away with death and redemption as concepts.

	AE160D Unit 17: Patti Smith Group
		The Patti Smith Group was the first success story to come out of the CBGB's scene, as well as the first to draw large audiences into the unknown club.
		It was this primary musical innovation of The Patti Smith Group, fusing rock and roll with poetry that would go on to have a heavy influence on bands of the 1980's such as R.E.M. The commercial high point of Patti's career was the 1978 single "Because the Night", co-written by Bruce Springsteen.
		Although Patti's reputation as being political, opinionated, and outspoken often precedes her, the legacy she created endures as one that established the changing roles of women in rock, and the changing sounds that defined an era.

	'Easter' by Patti Smith Group - A Review
		Patti Smith, the vocalist and driving force behind the band, comes from an art and literature background, and her poetry figures prominently in her music.
		The first of Smith's idiosyncratic monologues is featured, but it's the only one on the album that culminates in an orgasm, as far as I am able to determine.
		Smith's vocals are best enjoyed, in my opinion of course, when she is reaching for the higher registers, as here, and the piano is high in the mix at times, giving a much-needed extra instrumental dimension.

	Patti Smith - Horse: Legacy Edition - Arista/Legacy - CD
		Forming the strong Patti Smith Group, she, like others of her era and musical persuasion, and buoyed by essential appearances in the NYC scene, most notably CBGB, helped to reshape a seemingly stagnant rock era back into a fresh and dynamic force.
		The elements of Smith's music is her poetic intensity and 4 very good musicians, together touching off a firestorm of a new way to listen to music.
		Smith’s performance is as impassioned as her original work, right down to the sneer at the beginning of “Gloria.” 30 years later, Horses stand well among classics.

		But it was the Patti Smith Group, with an already acquired notoriety in local art and rock circles, that really set the CBGB scene in motion when they paired up with Television on a two-month residency in the spring of 1975.
		Patti Smith was both of and not of the first wave, an originator and intermediary more than a full-fledged participant.
		In the narrative of the CBGB scene, Patti Smith is more important for what she gave to the scene than what she got from it, and in what she gave, more important in providing exposure and audience than in shaping the aesthetics.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Easter [Remaster] - Patti Smith Group at Epinions.com
		It seems that for both Dylan and Smith (artists near one another in my personal pantheon), their near-death experiences pushed them in an altogether different direction, right at points in their career when it seemed like they could push their own radical art no further.
		The three late-'70s albums that followed "Horses", leading up to Smith's ten-year seclusion, explored different aspects of Smith's relation to the mainstream, and "Easter" is the most successful of the three, both in terms of artistic coherency and in terms of mainstream appeal.
		But the fact that this album has endured despite Smith's questionable relevance (which, fortunately, her new album "Trampin'" has reestablished) is testimony to her staying power, her sincerity, and the simple compellingness of most of what she does.

		By the mid-70's, Smith had been a regular poetry-reader in New York City clubs for years, and with a deep admiration for The Rolling Stones, it was only natural to set these poems to music.
		Smith had a gift for being able to paint vivid pictures with her prose, as evidenced by a pair of 10-minute long epics, "Birdland" and "Land" (which consisted of 3 sections--"Horses", "Land of A Thousand Dances", and "La Mer").
		I first came across Patti Smith on the B.B.C. 2 music show "The Old Grey Whistle Test", I can't remember the year but I think it was round the middle of the 70's.

		As that track finishes hold onto your hats “Patti” rage is burning she begins a rant called “Babelogue” which introduces the angriest song on the album “Rock n Roll Nigger” which is very unsettling to listen to.
		Of her early work, Easter is Patti's most accessible album and owing to the inclusion of Springsteen's beautiful "Because the Night" it became her biggest seller - she had managed to adapt her poetic gifts to appeal to a mainstream rock audience.
