Released after Patti Smith won the National Book Award for her tender memoir, Just Kids, this best-of compilation charts a chronological path through the punk poet’s most powerful songs from her four-decade career. “Free Money” sounds as visionary now as it did in 1975, Smith dreaming of a life beyond poverty over desperate rock riffs. “Dancing Barefoot” swirls with psychedelic warmth and euphoric release, while her acoustic cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is what happens when grunge meets Appalachian folk.
