"3 CD set. Reed has been one of the most outrageous American artists of the '70s; an ambassador of the underground world that lives within each cosmopolitan city and always living life to the limit. With a remarkable literary talent and always pushing the limits sound wise, Lou became one of the most iconic artists ever, both as leader of The Velvet Underground and as a solo artist. The Many Faces Of Lou Reed is a journey through his side projects, little-known collaborations with artists such as bass player Fernando Saunders or legendary soul keyboardist Booker T. Jones (cd1); his live shows along the Velvet Underground and the Rock And Roll Heart tour (one of their most inspired) (cd2). It is also a walk thru his immortal body of work, in the hands of artists who recognize him as their main influence (cd3). The Many Faces Of Lou Reed is a fundamental album for every rock music fan."
