n Women: Joan Jett |
antiMusic reports: Today's Rock n Woman is
a legend! Joan Jett and Morley takes a look at her new album: You know
with a Joan Jett record you're not going to get too many surprises and
that's the case with her new record "Sinner". For the most part straight-ahead
rock & roll is the order of the day and Ms. Jett does not disappoint.
"Riddles" kicks off the record, a chugging
collection of riffs that is highlighted by a gaffer from Dubya at the end.
"A.C.D.C." opines the fact her girlfriend is getting a little something
on the side, sometimes with a guy. "Five" is your standard rock fare. "Naked"
is one of the better cuts on "Sinner". Simple yet memorable, the song has
more of a vibrancy about it as if it was produced by somebody else.[see
