Patti Smith Group: Easter

3 March 1978 · 49 YEARS

Easter

Patti Smith Group

The massive success of the co-written anthem Because the Night helped define this project. Jimmy Iovine provided a crisp production style that moved the group away from the garage-heavy grit of their past work.

This collection serves as a pivotal point for the punk-poet laureate. It captures a shift in the late seventies, allowing the jagged edges of the underground to reach a broader audience.
