PATTI SMITH "HORSES" CD, 1975:
NYC native...
punky....
debut set....
heard this around seven years ago, almost to the day on vinyl under an oak tree
at some little place out in the country called Paint Lick...
would have been sipping a soda and sharing THC at the time....
had never heard the album prior to that...
got a respectable score for a first up listen back then, good enough to purchase a couple of months
later anyway....
produced by VU's John Cale...
not a big seller but highly influential and I'm hearing those later influences all over it from PJ Harvey,
Courtney Barnett, Smiths, Siouxie And The Banshees, Nick Cave etc etc.....
a classy album of arty-punk rock and not surprised at all by the rating that accompanies it!
