The title After the Dolls: 1977-1987 implies some grand overview of that time period, but the subtitle, "Track and Jungle Records Studio Sessions," really gets to the heart of the matter. Johnny Thunders didn't get into the studio as often as one might think, and recorded for one label after the other, so the options get pared down rather quickly. In fact, After the Dolls: 1977-1987 culls tracks from just three albums: L.A.M.F., Que Sera Sera, and Copycats. There are only three tracks from   [ read more ]

Given the variable quality of the Johnny Thunders catalog, one should approach any new release or compilation with caution, and Anthology is no different. Yes, most of the tunes one would identify with Thunders are included, but aside from the L.A.M.F. tracks and a handful of others, these are not the best-known versions of these songs. In fact, not a single track from So Alone is included, probably due to licensing issues. So this ends up being a hodge-podge of mostly live tracks, presumably   [ read more ]

If ever something could be called a labor of love, Jungle Records' Born Too Loose is probably it. Delving into New York's back alleys, this two-disc set collects many of Johnny Thunders' finest moments. Given Thunders' legendary penchant for sloppy, unfocused performances (both live and in the studio), this is no mean feat. The collection spotlights the guitarist's post-New York Dolls career, compiling a healthy 39 tracks of studio and unreleased live material. Disc One contains studio record   [ read more ]

Johnny Thunders spent the lion's share of his solo career trying to recapture the sloppy but inspired snazz of his glory days with the New York Dolls, and once you get past So Alone and the Heartbreakers' L.A.M.F., he usually fell far short of the mark. But Copy Cats, an album he cut with Noo Yawk chanteuse Patti Palladin in 1988, was a rare exception, a set where he stretched his boundaries a bit and came up with something memorable. Copy Cats is a set of rock & roll oldies, dati   [ read more ]

There are few rock artists of any genuine significance whose catalogs are more of a mess than Johnny Thunders, and we pretty much have the artist himself to blame for that. While Thunders helped create two stone classic albums with the New York Dolls, once he struck out on his own, his seemed more interested in going for the fast buck than building a career (doubtless a product of his decades-long junk habit), and when you get past the Heartbreakers' L.A.M.F. and Thunders' So Alone,    [ read more ]

Although the title Endless Party may have summed up the life of Johnny Thunders, the subtitle Greatest Hits Live is a bit misleading. One might expect this to be a compilation of Johnny's best live performances of his best-known tunes. The fact is, this sounds like just another live set from Thunders and company. Since any given Thunders set is going to feature many of the same tunes, almost ANY live Johnny Thunders could be called Greatest Hits Live. The performances are decent, but the s   [ read more ]
