Since I haven't posted for quite some time, there are quite a few musicians who passed on. Some are household names. Some are unheralded side men who deserve some mention. One such side man is Ivan Kral - lead guitarist for the original Patti Smith Group.
So here's Patti's first album to commemorate Ivan.
Patti Smith - Horses (Arista 1975)
I got this at time of release - note the white 'Horses'
Even though the record was credited to Patti alone, she truly treated this as a band release. The musicians are prominently featured on the back cover. These four stayed with her until Patti's semi-retirement to be a mom after marrying Fred Smith from the MC5.
