Notes from the Velvet Underground by Howard Sounes

Notes from the Velvet Underground by Howard Sounes

Lou Reed, who died in 2013, was best known to the general public as the grumpy New Yorker in black who sang 'Walk on the Wild Side'. In this biography, the author examines his life and work, from birth to death, including his time as the leader of The Velvet Underground - one of the most important bands in rock'n'roll.

**** Compelling.. Sounes takes pride in carefully debunking the myths that have crept in from Reed's own fictionalisations * The Sunday Telegraph *
Explosive * Daily Mail *
Controversial ... Sounes' book pushes the standard Reed narrative * New York Times *
A walk on the dark side * Independent *
A must read... Sounes chronicles Reed's turbulent, and often brutal, relationships with men and women... and the wayward talent that produced such classics as Walk On The Wild Side. * Daily Mail *
