   A sublime and masterful performance

   Whether you’re a die-hard Patti Smith fan like myself or simply curious, this is a concise slice of her poetic genius. She switches from poetry to memoir to song and back again with a great warmth, wit and empathy. One of the living embodiments of the freedom and imagination that the love of language brings. A shining light in the darkness. Thank you, Patti and raksBooks.

   A Good Listen to a Live Performance

   I saw Ms. Smith in the 70's and it was nice to be able to hear her current presentation of a live performance. It's a great addition to raksBooks's gratis selections and any Smith fan will enjoy this raconteur at The Minetta Lane.

   Power to the People!

   I really didn't know much about Patti Smith until our book club pick one month was "Just Kids". I had been familiar with some of her music but that was about it. I love her style of writing and was awed by her experiences in New York in the 60's and 70's. She seems like someone I would really enjoy spending time with. When raksBooks suggested this for free, I jumped at the offer and it deepened my appreciation for her and her work.

   This audio is an enjoyable hour and a half with Patti telling stories from her books and singing some of her more popular songs.

   A rock and roll love story

   Patti Smith's voice rings true. her stories are endearing. they had a new level of depth and meaning to her songs. it is wonderful to hear the icon in her own words, explain the stories and then sing her songs.

   Every minute special!

   I loved hearing the stories and songs. The short, original raksBookss that members receive are wonderful. This is by far my favorite. I can’t wait to read Patti Smith’s latest book. What a wonderful story teller she is both verbally and musically. More please!
