JOAN JETT SONG OF WEEK: “Everybody Needs A Hero”
Joan Wasser was once a member of The Dambuilders out of Boston.
This violinist/guitarist/songwriter performs solo under the name Joan as Police Woman.
The Classic is her 5th studio album and includes “Holy City”.
“Holy City”
I have deep abiding fondness for the acid-tongue pop of Lily Allen.
Her debut in 2006 Alright, Still was filled snappy melodies and in-your-face lyrics.
Her intelligent irony continued with 2009’s It’s Not Me, It’s You.
She took time off to have a family and has now musically resurfaced with a passion with Sheezus.
The title track “Sheezus”.
