From the New York Dolls to his alter-ego Buster Poindexter and all his solo work, David Johansen always did things his way. This pick celebrating his life covers just a bit of his recorded output. I put on some New York Dolls, including one of my favorite cartoon themes. Some of his work on tribute albums and on a sampler or two. There are a couple of covers or so. Including the Kinks and T Rex. A track from his latin album, even one from his work with the Harry Smiths. It's got his biggest hit in both New York Dolls and as Buster Poindexter and some of my favorites across the board.
