songs for drella

and speaking of uncle lou, here he is with his velvet underground co-founder, john cale, performing three of the most affecting pieces (that'd be "style it takes," "work," and "hello it's me") from their tribute to v.u. mentor andy warhol, songs for drella.







since his late-'80s resurgence with new york (the alb that preceded drella), lou's perfected a kind of rock chamber music that keeps the edge of the velvets' sound while allowing his songs and lyrics, rather than the sonic assault of the band, to hold center stage.
