Listening to the new Patti Smith "Twelve" album, and getting goose bumps. It is rare these days to encounter something that speaks to one on such a visceral level. To say that these covers are revealing is truly an understatement. I thought it impossible to hear some of these songs with new 'ears', but just one listen to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" puts the lie to that thought. And who would have believed a warhorse from the pen of the tofu Beatle George, actually has some meaning beyond the hippie/psych sentiments we usually associate with "Within You, Without You. I recommend you get yourself to your nearest music emporium and treat your spirit to one of the best musical offerings of the year. You won't be disappointed.
