Celebrate the New Year tonight and tomorrow by listening to two of the most influential women in music: Patti Smith and Odetta.
Patti Smith, the godmother of punk, was born on December 30, 1946. She turned 59 yesterday. Listen to Horses. Loud.
Odetta had a huge influence on the sixties folk/blues scene. Dylan was a huge fan of hers, and there is a clip of her singing “The Waterboy” in No Direction Home. Listen to her version of “The Midnight Special” tonight, and raise your glass to toast her and Patti.
Cheers!
