"So Alone" is a 1978 album by Johnny Thunders, then leader of The Heartbreakers and formerly lead guitarist for the New York Dolls.

After recording L.A.M.F. with the Heartbreakers, Thunders returned to the studio and recorded his first true solo album, "So Alone". The album featured Heartbreakers Walter Lure and Billy Rath, as well as several well-known guest musicians, including Chrissie Hynde, Phil Lynott, Steve Marriott, Peter Perrett, Steve Jones and Paul Cook. The album contained a mix of originals, standards from Heartbreakers live shows and covers, including the Chantays' surf classic "Pipeline", the Shangri-Las' " [Give Him a] Great Big Kiss", Otis Blackwell's "Daddy Rollin' Stone", done as a duet with Lynott, and the New York Dolls' "Subway Train".

Trouser Press called the album "Thunders at his best." [http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=johnny_thunders]
