The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed is a full-length album from Light in the Attic Records being released on Record Store Day, April 20, 2024. Covering a track from Reed's Transformer, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts—who followed in Reed’s footsteps as rock rebels— offer up a spirited rendition of “I’m So Free.”
"I bought Lou Reed's Transformer album after buying the single, “Walk on the Wild Side,” in the mid 70s, wanting to learn more about that wild side. I fell in love with Lou’s vocal style, his descriptive, poetic, real life lyrics, and his song, “I’m So Free.” And I learned something, too, as I wanted to know the meaning of St. Germaine in this context." - Joan Jett
I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
Recorded in a shipping container, the Australian artist's quirky second album is a love letter to 70’s classic rock, folk, and psychedelia. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 15, 2023
