Watch Joan Jett & the Blackhearts Play ‘Jeepster’ for James Corden (from the New Marc Bolan/T. Rex Tribute Album)

On Sept. 4, a star-studded new tribute album honoring the late Marc Bolan and T. Rex was released — and Angelheaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan and T. Rex features an eye-popping array of musical acts, both contemporary and legendary, paying homage to the English rock band. Among the standout covers on the collection is Joan Jett & the Blackhearts tackling “Jeepster,” which Jett and her band mates performed (remotely) for the Late Late Show with James Corden on Thursday evening.

Here’s a physically-distant performance of the track from Joan Jett and the Blackhearts:

In addition to the performance, Jett speaks with Corden about the fact that in non-pandemic circumstances, she and her band would be out on the road on this summer’s postponed Stadium Tour alongside Motley Crue, Def Leppard and Poison. News of this earth-shaking classic rock tour created unending hype and anticipation, though COVID-19 concerns forced the entire tour to be pushed to Summer 2021.

As a result, Jett says, she’s especially missing playing gigs right now:

And don’t forget to read Rock Cellar’s 2019 feature interview with Joan Jett, about her endless search for the “perfect” guitar. A snippet:

“I figured, “I will get more guitars, and I want to make them each have my sound, so that when someone hears my guitar, it will be like a voice imprint.” I wanted people to recognize that voice. I wanted it to sound the same, no matter what guitar I played through. And, of course, it wouldn’t sound the same if somebody else played my guitar. My guitar wouldn’t sound like my guitar unless my hands were playing it. It’s very weird, when you think about it.”
