Now to the record review "Backlash" was released as a 45 in Sweden and man is it ever a classic!!.The song was co-written with Paul Westerberg of The Replacements (he also appears on backup vocals.) The songs opens with some filthy Keith Richards/Johnny Thunders chords while The Blackhearts provide a skull crushing backbeat, Joan's vocals are pure Rock and Roll attitude and they will nail you right on the spot. This song is filled to the brim with hooks galore and should have been a number one single worldwide if it got promoted (which it didn't.)
"Backlash" is one of the greatest Rock and Roll singles ever!!!!No kidding!!!and Joan Jett is God!!!!
