Joan Jett continues defying rock expectations with new acoustic record
21:54
For the first time in a career that's spanned more than four decades, rock icon Joan Jett is trading in her electric axe for an acoustic guitar. Her new album, Changeup, sees her recording classics, like "Bad Reputation" and "Cherry Bomb", in a stripped-down way that uncovers the essence of her songs. In a wide-ranging conversation with Piya Chattopadhyay, Jett opens up about what has been essential to her through the years — beneath the steely exterior — as an artist, entrepreneur, mentor and feminist trailblazer in rock 'n' roll.
