"The classic
Johnny & Patti
album
Copy Cats
from 1988, reissued on its 35th anniversary. An acclaimed, affectionate collection of tunes that the expatriate New York pair grew up with, it features songs by
The Shangri-La's
,
Dion
,
Elvis
,
The Seeds
,
The Shirelles
,
Roy Head
, and
Screaming Jay Hawkins
amongst others. Johnny is of course the late
New York Doll
and
Heartbreaker
notorious rock legend; his pal Patti is half of punk girl duo
Snatch
as well as being an
Eno
and
Flying Lizards
collaborator. The positive reaction on its release was unanimous; DJs
John Peel
and
Charlie Gillett
both declared it to be 'better than the originals!' With Patti in the producer's chair, the extended 1987 sessions enlisted well over 20 musicians including real brass and strings players to create a meticulously crafted homage to the originals. Whilst stamping the duos own personalities on the songs, this thorough and conscientious project is also in high contrast to Johnny's often-wayward live persona. The singles 'Crawfish,' 'I Was Born To Cry,' and 'She Wants To Mambo' were issued as highlights. The assembled players included guitarist
John Perry
(
Only Ones
), bassist
Robbie A. Gordon
(
Gil Scott Heron
band), keyboardist
Bob Andrews
(
The Rumour
,
Brinsley Schwartz
), guest backing vocals by
Chrissie Hynde
and
Jayne County
, violinist
Alex Balanescu
, brass section
Jim Dvorak
,
Nick Evans
, and
John 'Irish' Earle
, percussionist
Pedro Ortiz
, drummer
Steve Washington
, Heartbreakers
Billy Rath
and
Jerry Nolan
, plus numerous others."
