Album Notes & Community Reviews
Supported by a massive supergroup of punk and rock luminaries, Johnny Thunders delivered his absolute definitive solo statement on 'So Alone'. The album perfectly captures his profoundly melancholic, beautifully tragic rock-and-roll essence, featuring incredibly raw, fiercely energetic garage punk fueled by romantic longing and deep urban pessimism.
