Music reviews of I Love Rock 'n Roll

Music Review: The God-Mother of 3 Chord Rock
Rating: 5 Stars

She's the artist who made the music industry take female guitarists seriously.

Whether it's her original songs or just cover songs she infuses her songs with passion that is not only fun to sing to in the car but drives a point home after the tune has ended.

The song that got me hooked was "You Don't Know What You've Got" when I heard it on a 45 vinyl B side to I Love Rock & Roll. I mean the guitars in the song sonify the disappointment of going all out in a relationship with the solo then melodic blast <hard guitar> into the resentment felt afterwards.

The classic ones like 'Bits & Pieces, Crimson & Clover, Nag, and Louie Louie' get a great new wave infusion.

She could take a loss in the stock market, write a tune about it and be able to strike a chord with enough people to recoop her losses, her mass appeal is that strong.
