JOHN CALE

AUX SEQUENTIELLES DE LYON


Jobe over at Floppy Boot Stomp has turned up trumps again (for me anyway) and posted another fine soundboard set from John Cale in France back in 1995. This is really worth a download for Cale fans and if anyone was writing music for the current state of affairs it must be our alternative Welsh bard. A solo set here including many of his finest songs (and indeed covers 'Hallelujah' being perhaps his finest arrangement following Leonard Cohen's original all subsequent versions follow John's re-visiting this disturbing classic) both on guitar and solo piano. . . . . . enjoy!
