There is a lot to love about this new single from the legendary Lenny Kaye. First, it's Lenny Kaye! If you don't love him for being Patti Smith's right hand man for 50 years, then certainly you must have dug the "Nuggets." Or maybe, you bought some records from him when he worked at Village Oldies on Bleecker Street.
It's hard to believe this is Lenny's first proper solo album. "Goin' Local" comes out on July 17th and the title track is incredibly infectious. I love the lyrics, though if I have to pick one nit, I wish it had a stronger chorus. Still, this one sounds great loud.

I like the groove and will certainly check out the full album when it's out!
Great Band cover by the under appreciated Shannon McNally. Cleveland Jeff
Wow - first solo record. That is awesome. Thanks for the heads up.
Very tasty.
That’s got a good riff and his voice is better and younger sounding than expected. Hopefully the whole set holds up.

That's a good rocker, I'm surprised that it's his first solo album! The Marva Whitney is a hot one- I like that she get to call for Maceo- and that's a fine cover by Shannon McNally from a fine album.
Oooo, REALLY like this! Just my style. Thank you - I made a note for when it comes out to go find it at one of my local record stores.
