Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Have New Music for 2023

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts have slipped out six new songs with the ‘Mindsets’ EP.

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts had the acoustic album ‘Changeup’ in 2022. ‘Mindsets’ is a little bit country and a lot Rock ‘n Roll.

“The last several years have been tough ones on the whole world. These songs reflect the various ‘mindsets’ needed to make it through the day, the week, the year, or the next minute. It’s a way to feel more connected to that big, beautiful, scary world out there, and in your head,” says Jett. “The Blackhearts and I had an incredible experience writing, rehearsing, and recording these songs. Dougie Needles, our guitar player, created great songs from which we built out the EP.”

I worked with many of his alumni (including the man who helped invent him, fellow San Fran disk jockey Tom Donahue), and to say they and he inspired me would be a useless understatement.
