Music Story Patti Smith "Horses

Patti Smith "Horses
In 1975, when a small New York club called CBGB became the nerve centre of American punk, two women came to the fore and offered an alternative to a rock genre that had been dominated by men until then. Debbie Harris embodied the glamorous and pop side of things, while Patti Smith added poetic and literary flair while maintaining the original intensity. For Horses, her first album, Fred Smith's wife simply offered a work that has since been celebrated as an absolute classic of American rock.
