Lenny Kaye has one of the most impressive and impactful legacies in the history of rock & roll, which makes it surprising that the guy has barely had a solo career over the course of his 79 years. He's a superb critic and historian, a thoughtful songwriter, an estimable guitarist, and a fine producer, as well as creating one of the most influential compilation albums ever (1972's Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968), and serving as Patti Smith's most trusted musical partner since she started setting her poetry to rock & roll. But beyond his mid-'60s juvenilia as Link Cromwell and 1984's I've Got a Right, the sole album from his group the Lenny Kaye Connection, he's preferred to enable others rather than take the spotlight, which makes the appearance of 2026's Goin' Local such a pleasant surprise. Making your solo debut as a near-octogenarian isn't an accepted part of the traditional career arc, though in Kaye's hands, it makes sense. Goin' Local is an album that packs a lifetime of personal and creative experience into a dozen songs, and the result is wise and full of wonder at life's twists and turns, expressed with wit, humanity, and the intelligence of a songwriter who understands some of the deepest lessons can be expressed with simplicity.
