Jarlaxle 56 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Are there any fans of John Cale's music here? He was in the VU, but he also composes and records his own music. I for one, think he is bloody brilliant. I mean, this song right here... Damn! He's amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaÜberAlles Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Oh yeah, not only did VU hit their artistic peak while he was a member of the band, but what I've heard of his solo stuff is quite interesting. speaking of the velvet underground does anyone know a good book about them thats not "all yesterdays parties" because that one was terrible Check out the book "Up-Tight: The Velvet Underground Story". Very informative, and it has a ton of great pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlaxle 56 Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Paris 1919 is a really great album to get started with for John Cale's solo work, as well as Music For A New Society, the latter is much more dreary and depressing than the former, however. Also, I really like what versions I've heard of John performing 'covers' of VU classics.
