Break It Up: Patti Smiths Horses And The Remaking Of Rock 'N

PATTI SMITH Break It Up: Patti Smiths Horses And The Remaking Of Rock 'N' Roll (2006 edition 260-page hardback book - Before The Sex Pistols, before The Clash, before The Ramones, there was Patti Smith. The poet laureate of punk, she burst onto avacuous music scene in the mid-1970s with a raw and revolutionary sound - steeped as much in French symbolist poetry as it was in 60s garage rock - and an indelible, gender-bending stage persona. With the release of her debut album, "Horses",rock music would simply never be the same. The list of people involved in Smith's debut is impressive - guitarist/rock critic Lenny Kaye, producer John Cale, Arista president Clive Davis and artist Robert Mapplethorpe, among others - but at the centre is Smith herself: brazenly intellectual, uncompromising in her artistry, she quickly redefined the boundaries of what was acceptable in popular music. Using all-new interviews with those close to Smith, Mark Paytress puts the "Horses" story in its full context: from her early days in New Jersey to her rapid rise on New York's performance art scene and the key role she played in the emerging art-punk movement at club CBGBs.He also demonstrates the influence Smith and her music continue to exert today in the work of luminaries, such as Morrissey, REM's Michael Stipe, and PJ Harvey. Complete with 8 pages of black & white photos and a selected discography)
