Free Music Notes for So Alone
Free Music Review: There should be very few 5 star reviews: this is one of them
Hit: 5 Stars
If you browse through online reviews, there are far too many 5 star reviews. For any one that loves rock and roll and the underdog, you have to love JT. Unfortunately, the (original) Heartbreakers releases where a bit mixed. Here with the vets from the Pistols, Small Faces and Thin Lizzy and an excellent producer, it all came to together. I would recommend the latest release with the extra tracks mainly for Hurtin' though So Alone is great also (I wish he would have done a more aggro TRex track but that is quibbling). Great reviews from other writers here that explain it in depth; just wanted to give a positive review after being voted so poorly for giving Pie's Street Rats one star (it sucks, we all know it!)
So Alone Poster
Johnny Thunders's principal solo claim to fame, So Alone consists of Dollsy covers (the Shangri-Las' "Give Him a Great Big Kiss," the Chantays' surf chestnut "Pipeline," even the Dolls' "Subway Train") and gems of self-piteous wretchedness like "Leave Me Alone" and "You Can't Put Your Arms Round a Memory." The memory of what Junkie Johnny had been before heroin was almost enough to make So Alone a poignant experience--almost, but not quite. Oh, and "London Boys" was Thunders's sneering putdown of the London punk fraternity, several of whom (Steve Jones and Paul Cook, among others) are playing on the album. --Barney HoskynsAlternative Rock Music CDs
