Here Comes the Night
Genre: David Johansen
David Jo is the ultimate showman. I first saw him open for The Ramones at Ramapo College in 1980. I became a fast fan. He is a whole lot of fun.
I Consider “ Here Comes the Night to be a pretty good album. It doesn’t hold a candle to 1978’s self titled album. This is the first album without NY dolls band mate Sylvain Sylvain. He wanted to move away from the Doll’s style. It worked. It’s a pretty food album.
track 1-She Loves Strangers. Fun song
track 2- Bohemian Love Pad- after this revisit, I can’t stop singing this
3- You Fool You
4- My Obsession
5- Marquessa De Sade, This is my favorite track. There is some serious Buster Poindexter foreshadowing here. I often saw Buster Poindexter in his very early days . He played at a small club ( Tramps). This song was aways on the playlist. Small club, amazing band, lots of fun.
I love the percussion ( Ulysses Delavega)
6- Here comes the Night- Fun Rocker
7-Suspicion
8- Party Tonight, Yeah fun. Elliot Murphy on Rhythm guitar
9- Havin so Much Fun- Love his vocals here. Bobby Blaines piano excellent.
10- Rollin Job
11- Heart of Gold “ Younthink I’m a whore but I got a Heart of Gold“ Another song that made it into Buster‘s repotoire. Love it. Elliot Murphy’s harmonica is awesome.
I give it a 4 out of 5
