BOOK SYNOPSIS
Since the early 1990s there has been a breakthrough in women rock artists who have achieved both critical and popular success, and Patti Smith's influence on these artists is undeniable. Smith's 1975 album, Horses, first established her as a major artist, but her impact and importance have only grown since that powerful and provocative venture. She has redefined what it means for women to be rock performers, and blazed trails for many other musicians - both male and female -- to follow. Individual chapters here examine individual albums and account for parallel developments in Smith's life. Author Joe Tarr concludes his work with an examination of the influence Smith has had on pop culture and on rock 'n' roll in general. Patti Smith is a guarded and private person, and little has been written about her, but in this searching analysis of Smith's life and work, Tarr has filled a huge gap and provided an essential guide to the iconic artist's career.
