David Johansen and the Harry Smiths


David Johansen and the Harry Smiths, released in 2000, is the first of two albums David Johansen released with the "Harry Smiths". David Johansen created the album following a folk scene that was taking place in the late 1990s in New York City clubs. Inspired by the 1997 reissue of musicologist Harry Everett Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, Johansen named his band "the Harry Smiths" and recorded and performed songs from, or inspired by, the Anthology.
The album was his first since 1984 which is credited to him and not his musical alter ego Buster Poindexter.
