Johnny Thunders Artist Snapshot:

Punk icon Johnny Thunders was a member of the New York Dolls and the Heartbreakers, and was also a long-running solo artist prior to his overdose in 1991. Thunders was one of the original New York City punks who created the style and sound in the mid '70s. Although Thunders was an excellent songwriter capable of both sneering rock anthems and tender ballads, he is remembered as much for a notorious addiction to heroin as he is for his art. Years after his death, Thunders remains a legendary symbol of the rock-&-roll lifestyle, for better or for worse.

Review

Q (5/95, p.134) - 3 Stars - Good - "...the album is stuck somewhere between punk, pub rock and glam sleaze, though there is enough to make SO ALONE his one bearable solo showing..."
Uncut (p.124) - 4 stars out of 5 - "SO ALONE is a narcotic Neverland, starring ex-New York Doll Thunders at his most defiantly derelict."

Digitally remastered by Lee Herschberg.

Thunders' classic debut album remains his magnum opus. Recorded after his post-New York Dolls band, the Heartbreakers, imploded, SO ALONE features a surprisingly eclectic bunch of backing musicians. It's not just Thunders' punk cronies; don't be surprised to find ex-Sex Pistols (Paul Cook and Steve Jones) and ex-Small Faces (Steve Marriott) on the same track (a very cool version of "Daddy Rollin' Stone).

It's Thunders album all the way, however, with his sloppy guitar, endearingly nasal vocals, and trash rock roots front and center. The album's masterwork, and Thunders' finest moment, is the aching ballad "You Can't Put Your Arm Around a Memory." However, just about everything here, including "London Boys" (a gleefully catchy response to the Sex Pistols "New York") and the hilarious cover of the Shangri-Las "Great Big Kiss"--oozes the best sort of rock and roll attitude. Bonus tracks include the previously unreleased title song, and a nice cover of Marc Bolan's "The Wizard."
