Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Last year's bittersweet return Almost Gone memorialized lost friends and family in profound fashion. The deaths of beat luminaries Ginsberg and Burroughs color parts of her seventh album, but overall Smith is back on the barricades and rocking alongside her Lenny Kaye-led band. '1959,' a plea for Tibet, is the catchiest, timeliest song here, and, like 'Don't Say Nothing,' it merits at least a dash of commercial airplay. Ain't going to happen, of course, but Smith's wisdom, apocalyptic imagery and artful invention (viz. 'Memento Mori') is manna to devotees. --Jeff Bateman

- A solid effort
I listened to this the other day having only listened to it once before. I was not thrilled the last time I heard it but this time it really opened my soul to her retrospective views on life and death and the human condition. This offering made me start playing her again and because of this CD I also purchased Trampin. She is still writing some great music,she is someone that has lasted when others have burned out or take the public on a ride trying to squeeze out mediocre material just to pay the rent. Highly reccomended.

- Beautiful and poetic
I was walking in the park tonight, a warm dark summer night. Momento Mori came on the MP3 player; I was totally captivated - I hadn't heard it in a long time. When I got home, I gave P&N a careful listening. "Don't Say Nothing" ranks with my favorite Patti songs. Her recital of Ginsberg's "Footnote to Howl" is worth the price of the album. P&N has a hypnotic, almost trance-like quality, more than her rocking earliest, brilliant works. I think the negative comparisons to "Horses", "Easter", are entirely fatuous and don't take into account the maturity of the artist. Maybe I am getting older, but I really dig the tone of this album and the incredibly meaningful, poetic lyrics in every song. My family are big fans... My daughter has an excellent tattoo from the cover of Easter.
Finally, I LOVE YOU PATTI!!!!

- The Lioness in winter
This album gives me a sense of November weather. From the opening of Waiting underground to the amazing 10 minute track memento mori and ofcourse patti and michael stipe bringing it all back with the closing track last call. I love this album, her lyrics are at full force with 1959, painting images that leave marks all along the eyes and hands.

I actually enjoy this one more than Gone Again. But then again, I love all her albums.

- She growls, gestures, preens gloriously--one of her best
Classic power and passion, always positive-proactive-even at its toughest. More rock then punk. No whining, screeching, thrashing; she is in control. Guitars sing out with soaring purpose. Rhythm section is rock solid, confident, never pushed. She growls, paces, gestures, preens gloriously, even when she struggles. She is never a victim. Back to basics. Velvet Underground/CBGB tough-lyrical voice of a sensate woman wrestling with the city. One of her best.
