"Dancing Backward in High Heels" is the fifth studio album by the American rock band New York Dolls, released in 2011. It marks the band's return to the studio after a 26-year hiatus since their previous album, "Too Much Too Soon" in 1974. The album features original members David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain, along with several new members.
"Dancing Backward in High Heels" showcases the band's signature glam rock sound with elements of punk and rhythm and blues. The album's title track and lead single, "Fool for You Baby," exemplify the band's energetic and flamboyant style, while tracks like "I'm So Fabulous" and "Kids Like You" offer catchy hooks and infectious melodies.
While the album received mixed reviews from critics, it was praised for its lively performances and nostalgic nods to the band's heyday in the 1970s. Despite facing challenges due to lineup changes and shifting musical landscapes, "Dancing Backward in High Heels" reaffirmed the New York Dolls' enduring influence on rock music and their ability to captivate audiences with their unique blend of style and attitude.
