LOU REED/JOHN CALE: Songs for Drella

£79.00

Reed and Cale are at their absolute best on this stripped-back, sharply observed set of songs written as a portrait rather than a tribute to Warhol.

Both trade space between piano, guitar, and voice, keeping the arrangements spare so the words do most of the work. It’s direct, occasionally uncomfortable, and far more intimate than you might expect given the subject.

Two very distinct voices circling the same story from different angles and one to sit with when you’re in the mood for something thoughtful, honest, and quietly compelling.
