The Unexpected Masterwork From The Classic Punk Flameout

By BluesDuke on March 26, 2001

Format: Audio CD

By the time his Heartbreakers were reduced to playing the occasional gig to raise the rent money (it's anyone's guess why the quartet couldn't make it in a punk revolution which they had a hefty hand in stirring up, when they formed in the aftermath of the New York Dolls's crackup), Johnny Thunders was as renowned for his seeming determination to cripple his own faculties as for his furiously amateurish, angry-hornets-on-speed guitar playing and attitude. He might well have been the last one from whom to expect any kind of even passable solo project - but he may well have surprised himself as well as punk watchers with this 1978 gem. He didn't lack for distinguished help - Sex Pistols mainstays Steve Jones (guitar) and Paul Cook (drums) repaid the Pistols' debt to the Dolls by providing yeoman bandsmanship to Thunders's greatest post-Dolls blast (anyone who thinks the Heartbreakers - even on their own surprising "Live At Max's Kansas City" - were better than this should have their inner ears checked); Thin Lizzy mastermind Phil Lynott chipped in with some stellar bassmanship; and, above all, there was Thunders himself, spinning out lick after lick of buzzing, pinpoint controlled guitar, singing with surprising feeling for a fellow with one of the thinnest voices in rock and roll, and generally cranking out an album which in hindsight proves introspective in a way its creator probably didn't expect.Read more ›

an absolute classic!

By Johnny Roulette on February 16, 2000

Format: Audio CD

You don't often get to use the word eclectic when dicussing punk rock platters...the word fits when you're talking about So Alone. This is the definitive Thunders offering. If you want to know why he's a legend, this is it! Guest musicians include: Steve Jones & Paul Cook(Sex Pistols)/Phil Lynott(Thin Lizzy)/Patti Palladin/ Paul Gray(The Damned)Steve Marriott(Humble Pie)/ Chrissie Hynde(The Pretenders) & more. There are amazing covers of Great Big Kiss, Pipeline & Marc Bolan's The Wizard. John Irish Earle's saxaphone gives a level of class on tunes like (She's So)Untouchable & Subway Train, originally a New York Dolls song. So Alone also features Johnny's finest individual effort, an amazing song called You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory(featured on the Bringing Out The Dead soundtrack). Daddy Rollin' Stone features excellent vocals from a trio of dead rock legends(Steve Marriott,Phil Lynott & JT), giving the song, in hindsight, a very eerie quality.. There are four bonus tracks that weren't offered on the original vinyl release. The disc also comes with six pages of liner notes by Ira Robbins, plus another four pages of credits and photos. You'll want to check out London Boys, a ferocious and funny attack on The Sex Pistols. Johnny Thunders was one of the few punk enough to get away with it. This is a wonderful cd with virtually no weak spots...a must have! JT's work with the Dolls, as well as his work on L.A.M.F., So Alone, Live At Max's, & Copy Cats are all the proof you need that the Thunders myth was not built on junkie behavior alone. There were moments of musical brilliance...this is one such moment. There are many unbearable bootlegs floating around. You should start with the aforementioned albums, his best, so that you can better tolerate the busts. Johnny Thunders deserved every ounce of his legend-status. So Alone was originally released in the Uk in October, 1978.

More than Punk - it's pure Rock 'N Roll

By MJG on April 21, 2005

Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase

Johnny is thrown in with the Punk crowd even though he never really fit into the genre's sometimes confining borders. Both his work with the Dolls and his solo stuff is much more 60's Rock and Roll than 70's Punk. When he toured England with his band, The Heartbreakers, Punk bands of the era (Pistols, Clash, etc) wouldn't be caught dead playing blues-based music. However, they ALL respected Johnny and saw him for what he was, a great guitarist who could REALLY play - read John Lydon's biog, Rotten, for info about that tour.

This album is more Gene Vincent than Johnny Rotten, with some outstanding covers of early 60's classics (Pipeline, Daddy Rollin' Stone, Great Big Kiss). Johnny was always more of a heroin-soaked blues-man than a punk guitarist.

His voice is never on key, often stumbling through verses in his trademark junkie slur. His guitar playing is sometimes sloppy. Put those two qualities together and 99 times out of 100 you'll be listening to a trainwreck, but with So Alone, Johnny pulls everything off in spades! An all-star backing band makes this his most beautiful album.

This album is almost NEVER mentioned on anyone's list of all-time great ones, but that is a big mistake. His legend is built on tales of heroin and junkie life, but to those who know his music, that stuff is only PART of his story. The real legend comes from his music, and this CD is a monument of pure Rock 'N Roll. Buy it.

Let's Get Real, Real Gone....

By J P Ryan on October 1, 2006

Format: Audio CD

Johnny Thunders' discography is such a vast and endless heap of cruddy sounding live albums (reissued ad nauseum), half-baked compilations, and other artifacts not worth the price of a bag of dope, that anyone not around back in the day might understandably be a bit overwhelmed by it all and wonder just how to identify the genuine great music made by a hugely important and influential guitarist and all-round rock 'n' roll original. There are of course two classic New York Dolls albums - "New York Dolls" (1973) and "In Too Much Too Soon" (1974) - which you'd be better off tracking down in their original vinyl since CDs of both titles date to the very early (more bluntly, premature) days of the format, and are in dire need of remastering. The debut sounds especially thin and lifeless, JT's dense chording and blistering solos drained just like the rhythm section is, so what you're left with sounds dinky - the piano on "Personality Crisis" was NOT intended to dominate! The best-sounding CD to feature the Dolls' original recordings, for now, remains 1994's 21 track compilation, "Rock and Roll", with 10 out 11 tracks from the debut, 7 out of 10 from "Too Much", and a few worthy rarities.

Johnny was as essential to the Dolls as Keith Richards is to the Stones, and like all the best collaborators (Mick/Keith, John/Paul, Reed/Cale, Duke/Strayhorn, etc.) each was in a way made complete by the other.Read more ›
