CD -- Sinner: Joan Jett's
best album in years plays with gender (covers of Sweet's "AC/DC"
and the
Replacements' "Androgynous"), leather ("Fetish"),
and politics ("Riddles"). In more than 25 years, the proto-riot-grrrl
icon hasn't change a lick, riff, or sneer. Jett's still the toughest
female rocker out
there, despite many challengers (including Le Tigre's Kathleen Hanna,
who guests on one of Sinner's tracks).
Put another dime in the
jukebox, baby.
