Was listening to the first Alan Vega album (recorded soon after Suicide's breakup), thinking how great it is, drawing blanks on other great solo albums by musicians after leaving the band that made them famous. Thought of Johnny Thunders, David Johansen, John Lennon, otherwise not much. And of those mentioned here, Thunders' So Alone is the only one that I think compares to Vega's solo debut, a throbbing psychotic rockabilly venture, as though Iggy sang for the Cramps.The instrumentation is sparse, the guitarist a guy I've otherwise never heard of, Phil Hawk. One of my favorite albums, obscure or otherwise.
