Free Music Review: Johnny Covers His Old Favorites
Hit: 5 Stars
For 1988's "Copycats," Johnny gathered a bunch of friends and covered some of his favorite old doo-wop, R&B, and rock & roll songs. While these covers showcase the various talents and complex emotions of the 35-year-old Johnny Thunders, who had by this time experienced more than his fair share of life's ups and downs, John Genzale, the cocky Italian kid from Queens, can be heard too...and he is having a blast. On "Treat Her Right," Roy Head's number-two single of 1965, Johnny-the-ladies-man evokes the swagger of Dean Martin or Elvis Presley. On the Seeds' "Can't Seem to Make You Mine," Thunders' pleads are echoed by a wailing chorus of seemingly boozed-up alley cats. It all adds up to classic Johnny Thunders: the slightly soused black-clad crooner with the sneer on his lip and the heart on his sleeve.
Copy Cats Poster
UK reissue of this album out of print for nearly a decade. New Yorkers Johnny Thunders, (formerly of the Heartbreakers and the New York Dolls) and Patti Palladin (Snatch) were both exiled in London. They recorded this affectionate tribute to the American songs of the `50s and `60s, with covers of The Seeds, Screaming Jay Hawkins, The Shangri-La's, Dion, Chambers Brothers, Roy Head, Elvis, The Shirelles, etc. Recorded authentically using real brass, strings and many fine musicians, with Patti's meticulous production extending sessions over many months. Radio DJs John Peel and Charlie Gillett both described it as being ''better than the originals!'' Featuring Chrissie Hynde, John Perry, Jayne County, Bob Andrews and numerous others.
