Hope this fares better than the last Patti Smith thread I opened when her previous album was released

Twelve is this is the new record from 2007 inductee to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. For the first time from Patti a record containing only cover versions. Here's the track listing (with original artist in brackets):

01-Are You Experienced (Jimi Hendrix)
02-Everybody Wants To Rule The World (Tears for Fears)
03-Helpless (Neil Young)
04-Gimme Shelter (Rolling Stones)
05-Within You Without You (The Beatles)
06-White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane)
07-Changing Of The Guards (Bob Dylan)
08-The Boy In The Bubble (Paul Simon)
09-Soul Kitchen (The Doors)
10-Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana)
11-Midnight Rider (The Allman Brothers)
12-Pastime Paradise (Stevie Wonder)

She's also on tour at the moment (I'm going to see her in Glasgow on May 22nd).

I just got this today & I'm still listening to it for the first time.

Anyone else heard this & have opinions on twelve or Patti?

Sounds good, her cover versions in the past have always been excellent, may have to get hold of it.

Patti Smith does 'White Rabbit' hmmm

I found it disappointing. There were only three cuts I wanted to hear again:

Gimme shelter
Within you without you
Changing of the guards

The last two of those I like a lot, but the rest ... I don't know. If you think you might be interested in Patti as in interpretative singer in versions that are otherwise kinda lackluster, ...

I think Patti's early work was great, but I haven't been very taken with anything from Wave on.
