Todd, Pat -& The Rank Outsiders-
After The Dolls (10")
"On ""After the Dolls"", Pat Todd pays tribute to two members of one of his favorite bands -- Johnny Thunders and David Johansen of the New York Dolls by covering 6 of their post-Dolls songs. Here's what the man himself has to say " this record is something I've been wanting to do for 20 years or so but never seemed to have the time to record - to me, The New York Dolls are in the pantheon of all time greats, right along with Dylan, the Stones, Chuck Berry , Muddy Waters , the Velvets, etc. - and just like those people, I thought Johansen & Thunders wrote many great songs after what is thought of as their prime period - the Rankoutsiders started this record way before we knew that David Johansen was ill, and we finished it after his death - I personally owe David and Johnny a lot for all the inspiration & love I got out of their music & being - for me they will always be around.."
