Four hit musicians reveal the albums that changed their lives
NY Post
Decades before Perry Farrell, 61, formed the band Jane’s Addiction, he was performing for his older siblings in the basement of their family home in Queens.
“They’d have parties in the basement every weekend, and I was allowed to stay if I danced for them,” Farrell reveals in my new book, “Rock Stars on the Record: The Albums That Changed Their Lives” (Diversion Books), out now. “If I was good enough, they’d let me stay and be the bartender and deejay for their make-out parties,” says Farrell, who played records from his siblings’ huge record collection, which spanned the Beatles and James Brown to Jamaican singer Millie Small.More Related News
