Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

Songwriter: Kenny Laguna Joan Jett

Everyone that I can see is gettin' right in tow
Changin' songs to be on the radio
Now there are things that I believe in
I'd never sell my soul
It always feels so good to hear good music

I need good music--Good good music
It always feels so good to hear good music

How can I get back to you when I'm so far from home
In any port or foreign shore-alone
So many ways to be betrayed believe me when I say
I think that I would die without good music

I need good music--Good good music
It always feels so good to hear good music
I know that I would die without good music

I need good music--Good good music
It always feels so good to hear good music
I know that I would die without good music

And even though you might think it's funny
I couldn't care if there ain't no money
I'm a little mixed up
But I'll be alright
If I can hear a loud guitar all night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I need good music--Good good music
It always feels so good to hear good music
It always feels so good to hear good music

After splitting with The Runaways, and releasing her first solo album, Joan Jett placed an ad in LA Weekly looking for bandmates. Gary Ryan, Eric Ambel, and Danny “Furious” O'Brien joined her, creating the orginial Blackhearts lineup.

After their initial tour though, O'Brien was replaced with Lee Crystal.

Early on, keeping the band afloat was not easy. Joan and producer Kenny Laguna struggled, sometimes selling copies of albums from the trunk of his car. Eventually unable to keep up with the demand for Joan Jett’s album, they signed with Boardwalk Records.
