Johansen, David - David Johansen

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON BLUE SKY 1978.

Blue Sky SKY 82335 made in Holland with text inner sleeve. Vinyl EX. Cover VG+.

David Johansen's self-titled solo debut bears a closer resemblance to his work with the New York Dolls than any of his subsequent recordings, but the former Dolls singer cleverly crafted an album that played to his former band's strengths while establishing an identity of his own and delivering a set of tight but powerful hard rock. Where the Dolls were frequently sloppy and poorly focused (if often gloriously so), David Johansen rocks with a cleaner but equally emphatic guitar attack (courtesy Johnny Rao and Thomas Trask), while Johansen's vocals are noticeably more powerful and sharper than his earlier music.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Johansen
