Double LP Features Covers of Songs By Lou Reed!
Inspired by Lou Reed's legacy, Joseph Arthur recorded 12 of Reed's songs for the album Lou. Arthur offers a timeless tribute to one of rock's pioneers.
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur pays tribute to the late Lou Reed with this moving tribute to the Rock and Roll icon. The track list includes iconic selections from Reed's catalog including "Walk On the Wild Side", "Satellite of Love", "Heroin", and "Pale Blue Eyes".
Its odd dancing around death, odder still if the death you are dancing around is that of a legend. You just never know whats appropriate and whats not, what to share and what to keep inside. There is no blueprint. I loved Lou and we were friends. The last thing I would want to do is turn his life into an opportunity, but at the same time, what better way to honor the man and his music than to celebrate it and sing it and record it," said Arthur.
"Each project from the musician blows me away, and this new one is no exception...his version of Walk on the Wild Side makes my eyes water." -USA Today
"Arthur has restructured the songs in such a way that it seems you've never heard them before." -No Depression
