Re: (TV) David Johansen

[eric s gregory <esgregory@uswest.net>]

the album (david johansen & the harry smiths) is all old
folk/country blues songs the likes of which you can find on
the harry smith anthology...(much in the same vein as
dylan's also excellent/visionary "world gone wrong")...the
band's very laidback but unbelievably sensitive & johansen
is singing better than he ever has.
