Motor-Cycle Reviews

Lotti Golden is an underground rock icon of the late 1960’s. Her debut LP "Motor-Cycle" (1969) on Atlantic Records is a classic, ahead of its time. The lyrics are driven by a Kerouac inspired sensibility. Golden’s story of her life in New York’s East Village unfolds, and we are introduced to an amazing cast of characters-- from sordid to inspirational. As you listen, you decrypt Golden’s layered meanings. That is part of Golden's mystique, she pulls you in--- using a variety of genres, from rock to blues to jazz in order to heighten the sense of sarcasm, absurdity, or whatever she means to convey. Close your eyes, and travel in Golden's time machine; it’s a trip you’re not likely to forget.
