The Profile

Marc Almond is an English singer-songwriter known for his work with Soft Cell and his solo career; The Willing Sinners were his mid-1980s backing band for several studio albums.

The Willing Sinners period included three LPs (Vermin In Ermine, Stories Of Johnny, Mother Fist And Her Five Daughters). Anni Hogan is credited in reviews as producer and co-writer associated with the Willing Sinners.

A close, critical reading of Stories Of Johnny finds the album over-arranged and uneven. The reviewer praises a few tracks but judges much of the record as cumbersome and aged poorly. The Willing Sinners era (1984–1987) is placed between stronger siblings Vermin in Ermine and Mother Fist And Her Five Daughters.

Notable Quotes

❝ From what I’ve had the chance to listen to, there are only two albums that just don’t work for me: "Stranger Things" from 2001 and "Stories Of Johnny" from 1985; the first one, not much to say, a weak and anonymous album resulting from a physiological fatigue after a long series of great performances, the second one, however, is an album that enjoys much esteem and credit and surely deserves an explanation, a deeper look into why I dismiss it.
