When making an album, recording live is the musical equivalent of doing your crossword puzzle in pen. It's risky. If one member of the band falters or delivers a performance that's less than stellar- it shows through in the playback and you pretty much have to record the whole song over.

When it's done right, though, it's gold. The Album becomes a testament to a moment, an honest feel for the bands [...]

Dopo averle augurato buon compleanno qualche giorno fa , torniamo a parlare di Patti Smith . Sembra infatti che la 'sacerdotessa del rock' abbia registrato un brano in memoria di Amy Winehouse e pubblicherà la canzone nel prossimo capitolo discografico - il sesto - della sua carriera. Questo piccolo omaggio a Amy è 'sbocciato' in studio. Eravamo agli "Electric Lady" [famosi studi di New York] e stavamo suonando tutt'altro. Quando ho saputo della sua morte ho scritto una breve poesia. Tony Shanahan - il mio bassista - ha scritto una [...]
