Perry Farrell, born Peretz Bernstein in Queens in 1959, has spent his career acting as rock's ringmaster. He started out in Psi Com before fronting Jane's Addiction, the band that mashed punk, metal and psychedelia into something wild and new on the '80s Los Angeles scene, with Farrell yowling up front like a carnival barker on a vision quest. The shows were daring, the records were strange, and the kids who felt shut out of everything else found a home in them.
When Jane's Addiction set off on what was meant to be a farewell tour in 1991, Farrell built Lollapalooza around it, and the traveling circus grew into a yearly festival spanning every genre going. Along the way he fronted Porno for Pyros, kept reuniting Jane's Addiction, and launched projects like Satellite Party and Kind Heaven Orchestra.
Song Yet to Be Sung, his 2001 solo album, finds him in full mystic-dance mode. The title track glides on a lush, trance-y groove, Farrell's voice floating above it like incense smoke, the sound of a man who never stopped believing rock could be a party and a ritual at once.
