Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

Add Date: March 16

Artist: Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

Album: Songs from the Film "The Runaways"

Label: Blackheart

Genre: Rock

Comments: I'm too young to remember Joan Jett, but I imagine that she'd be featured prominently in the proverbial rock'n'roll time capsule. Songs like "Cherry Bomb" and "Crimson and Clover" skyrocketed her to fame in the eighties and this new collection of tunes is part soundtrack -- to the new film "The Runaways," starring Kristen Stewart and mega punk-rawker Dakota Fanning, which Jett herself is producing -- part greatest hits sampler. I can't find a fault at all on here and these songs, however old, still sound fresh, exhilarating, and raw.
