A KOSTAS SPECIAL
[of course!]
Kostas says: "Lewis Allan Reed (March 2, 1942 – October 27, 2013) was an American musician, songwriter, and poet. He was the guitarist, lead singer, and principal songwriter for the rock band the Velvet Underground and had a solo career that spanned five decades. While he flirted with mainstream success between 1970 (when he left the Velvet Underground) and 2013 (when he succumbed to liver disease), he most often played to a large cult following that only occasionally expanded into mainstream visibility. However, his songwriting -- unusually literate and often embracing themes that flouted society's conventions, especially in terms of drugs and sex -- broke fresh ground that other artists would follow, and his willingness to confront his audience made him a vitally important precursor to the punk revolution of the mid- to late '70s. “
His eponymous solo debut, Lou Reed, was released in January 1972, with members of Yes in the line-up. Success came when David Bowie and Mick Ronson produced his next album Transformer.
It included the songs "Walk on the Wild Side," "Perfect Day", and "Satellite of Love." An important album for the LGBT community, Transformer put Reed on the map. However, the fame that came with it worsened his pre-existing alcoholism. He released his next album, the bleak story cycle titled Berlin and produced by Bob Ezrin, in 1973. The album was trashed by rock critics, frustrating Reed. Subsequent years saw opinion on the album slowly change, and the record is now considered one of Reed's major works.
