Little Liar

Fit to Be Tied was intended to be the definitive Joan Jett hits package, and it nearly succeeds. Since Jett's Blackheart label only secured the rights to her first four solo albums (her most consistent work), the singles from the uneven Up Your Alley – "I Hate Myself for Loving You" (one of Jett's best originals and biggest hits) and "Little Liar" – had to be presented here in alternate versions. While the re-recording of "Hate Myself" and the live version of "Little Liar" are executed faithfully, they may bother fans who want the original recordings.

Nic Armstrong & the Thieves are old-school British rockers, digging up classic white boy blues like the early Stones and Fleetwood Mac on "I Can't Stand It," sophisticated pop finery like the Kinks on "I'll Come to You" and "The Finishing Touch," and the four-squared songcraft of the early Beatles on "Too Long for Her" and "You Made It True." They aren't just imitators or slaves to the past, though, injecting their songs with blasts of energy, tons of passion, and if not originality then an exciting approach to garage rock revivalism.
