Various Artists

Description:

The latest in the popular British Ace songwriter series is a collection of covers of former Velvet Underground poet Lou Reed's masterpieces! Artists who loved and sang their songs/poems. From the title track by Bryan Ferry, who respects Lou as a hero, to Beck and Iggy Pop, there are 20 songs. Lou is a man I respected and admired for two separate things: his talent as a songwriter and what he was able to communicate as a lyricist. It is truly relevant to the present." We are the people without land. "This poem is a statement, a Lou Reed statement."(Iggy Pop)
