Dancing Backward in High Heels

Dancing Backward in High Heels is the fifth studio album by the New York Dolls. It was released on March 15, 2011 on 429 Records. Dancing Backward in High Heels can best be described as a departure from the New York Dolls hard rock, punk, sound and a return to the girl group, 1960's rock invasion genre that both David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain have claimed to love. With the only song featuring the trade-mark attitude of the Dolls, Dancing Backwards in High Heels focused on power-pop, doo-wop, and the style of the 1960s. Funky But Chic is a re-recording of a song from David Johansen's first solo record. It's technically a Doll's song as it was written and performed by the band during shows, but never officially recorded by them.
