New York Dolls Artist Snapshot:

With inspiration from British glam and US proto-punks like the Stooges, the New York Dolls were the originators of the NYC trash aesthetic that inspired subsequent generations of punk bands. Churning out garage riffs that tipped their hat to 1960s R&B, they were the Stones of the first punk generation. Their outrageous image and brash sound gained them attention, but failed to make them stars, and David Johansen, Johnny Thunders, and Syl Sylvain all went on to solo careers after just two Dolls albums. In 2004, the Dolls reunited, with surviving members Sylvain, Johansen, and Arthur Kane making a triumphant festival appearance. Sadly, Kane died shortly after, but Johansen and Sylvain played another show dedicated to the memory of all the deceased dolls (Kane, Thunders, Jerry Nolan, Billy Murcia). In 2006, the remaining band members recorded their third official studio album to almost universal acclaim.

Review

Rolling Stone (4/27/00, p.74) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Captures both the glory and sorrow of glam, the high jinx and wasted youth, with electric photorealism....[It] remains definitive glitter, the perfect eulogy for a short, spangled era..."
Q (5/02 SE, p.139) - 5 stars out of 5 - Included in Q's "100 Best Punk Albums" - "...A lurid clarion call to the musically disaffected."
Mojo (Publisher) (3/03, p.76) - Ranked #13 in Mojo's "Top 50 Punk Albums" - "...Oozing with seedy, late-night NYC glamour, it has fared excellently with age..."

Title Note

New York Dolls: David Johansen (vocals, harmonica); Sylvain Sylvain (guitar, piano, background vocals); Johnny Thunders (guitar, background vocals); Arthur Harold Kane (bass instrument); Jerry Nolan (drums).

Additional personnel: Buddy Bowser (saxophone); Todd Rundgren (piano, Moog synthesizer).

Recording information: The Record Plant, New York, New York.

Along with the Stooges, the New York Dolls were largely responsible for pioneering the sound and attitude of punk, and this, their self-titled debut, is one of the founding documents of post-'60s rock. Outrageous, shambolic, and bursting with energy, the Dolls borrowed from the amped-up, bluesy swagger of the Rolling Stones, the pop confections of Phil Spector, and the campy theatricality that would flower with the glam movement, yet brought it all together with a visceral impact that recalled the jolt of early rock & roll.
