Product Description
From Amazon.com
Dependably enough, she still loves rock & roll. But what makes this Jett's ripest outing in years is her timely and well-deserved status as Original Riot Grrrl. Rather than adopting the noisecore assault of Babes In Toyland et al., she sticks to a rockin' pop-punk classicism that still echoes with her earliest influences, Suzi Quatro and T Rex. The spotlight will rightly fall on the four tunes written with Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna (check "Go Home" and the withering "Spinster"), but the Jim Vallance-cowritten "Eye to Eye" and "Insecure" are also worthy. --Jeff Bateman
Description
With their latest album, PURE AND SIMPLE, Joan Jett and herBlackhearts are ready to go--1990s style. Fully embracing the neo-punk generalizations of today's riot grrrls, Jett still has a couple of things she can show them. As a teen, Jettwatched bands like the Sex Pistols capture the media's attention. Realizing the power of image, but also aware that shewas a rocker and not a "punk", Jett found herself in a dilemma. While she dressed overtly "rock" and played the part ofhaving a "Bad Reputation", there wasn't the same niche for rock bad girls then.
Enter today's Joan, a 1990s grrrl, grabbing the attention of a new generation of teenage girls who, by the grace of generational placement, are reportedly more concerned with playing their instruments and forming bands than how they look. With PURE AND SIMPLE, Jett shows off the driving snarl that made her early albums so refreshing, and spices the mixture with the vocabulary of the 1990s. Spanning aesthetics from songwriting collaborations with Kathleen (Bikini Kill) Hanna's "grrrl style now" politic, to Desmond Child's blue-eyed soul, Jett proves what made her so invaluable as a Runaway and a Blackheart. Indeed, Jett tells it the way it should be, PURE AND SIMPLE.
