Joan Jett has been revolutionizing music for decades: from co-founding her first major band, the pioneering all-girl punk quintet, The Runaways (“Cherry Bomb”), at only 15 years old to bringing the infectious music of Joan Jett and The Blackhearts to the masses, her music has remained fresh and culturally relevant. On March 9th, Blackheart Records will release Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Greatest Hits, a one stop compilation of Joan’s greatest hits including “Cherry Bomb,” “Bad Reputation,” “I Hate Myself for Loving You,” “Crimson and Clover,” and the Rock N’ Roll anthem, “I Love Rock N’ Roll.”
With such a continued interest in Jett’s music, the musician felt it was finally an appropriate time to release a definitive Greatest Hits album. “Fans have been asking me for years and years for a new Greatest Hits album. There has always been interest,” said the musician. “But, over the past few years I have been executive producing a film about my first band, The Runaways. In the process, I revisited the music and have really been living with it. It made me realize that it would be great to get it back out into the market place for the fans and for a new audience.”
