Thanks to everyone who responded to my blog and on Facebook to help me decide who I would feature this week:
Joan Jett has released her interpretation of the T. Rex hit “Jeepster,” from the star-studded Hal Willner-produced collection Angelheaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan and T. Rex, out September 4 on BMG. Jett delivers a stunning tribute to her teenage idol, harkening back to her formative years on the Sunset Strip absorbing everything Bolan and T. Rex had to offer. For her reimagining of the standout track from the 2020 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee’s chart-topping Electric Warrior album, Jett is joined by a group of luminaries including Marc Ribot on guitar,Jim Whiteon drums (PJ Harvey, Cat Power),Thomas Bartlettarranging and on piano (The National, Sufjan Stevens) and production by the late Hal Willner.
