This unique collection features twelve cover versions of classic songs from various genres and eras, reinterpreted with Patti Smith's distinctive voice and poetic sensibility. Tracks include powerful renditions of "Gimme Shelter," "Smells Like Teen Spirit," and "Changing of the Guards." Patti Smith, often hailed as the ?Godmother of Punk,? has had an influential career since her groundbreaking debut album "Horses" in 1975.

The manufacturer, Sony Music, is one of the world?s leading music companies known for its diverse catalog and commitment to artistic excellence.
