Elizabeth Mitchell
Most commercial children's music seems to be made under the assumption that youngsters are incapable of appreciating subtlety and need to be aurally slapped about the face with melodic and lyrical repetition in order to make sense of what they're hearing. Elizabeth Mitchell is an educator and musician who thankfully knows better; as the lead ...

The Velvet Underground
Upon first release, the Velvet Underground's self-titled third album must have surprised their fans nearly as much as their first two albums shocked the few mainstream music fans who heard them. After testing the limits of how musically and thematically challenging rock could be on Velvet Underground & Nico and White Light/White Heat, this 1969 ...

Bryan Ferry
When Jerry Hall, front-cover model on Roxy's Siren, left Ferry for Mick Jagger, his response was this interesting album, not a full success but by no means a washout. In part Ferry returned to the model of his solo work before In Your Mind, with half the tracks being covers of rock and soul classics. Thus, Sam and Dave's "Hold On (I'm Coming)," Al ...

The Velvet Underground
The Velvet Underground were little more than a rumor when Lou Reed left the band in 1970, but by 1974, thanks to Reed's success as a solo artist, the Velvets had become a bona fide cult item, and that year Mercury Records released a two-record set compiled from tapes from shows in Dallas and San Francisco entitled 1969: Velvet Underground Live. ...

With an unchanged lineup but more attention due to their A&M deal, the Feelies hit the jackpot with their third album, a warm, inviting collection that finally addresses the endless Lou Reed comparisons with a cover of his "What Goes On." With its clearer feeling and peppier overall delivery, it avoids simply cloning the original arrangement and ...

By this point in rock history, it's a given that the Velvet Underground were one of the most important and influential American bands of all time, and that the four studio albums they recorded between 1966 and 1970 are brilliant and essential listening.

Wow, at the dawn of the 21st century does anyone really need An Introduction to the Velvet Underground? The answer is probably yes, but it's difficult to imagine. This is one of several VU compilations out there, and despite some obvious shortcomings, it's one of the better ones. At 16 tracks, it's a better deal than the 11-track 20th Century ...

This disc finds the bluegrass outfit the Meat Purveyors focusing more on original material, with fun songs like "Tallboy" and "Little White Pills." They also recast the Velvet Underground nugget "What Goes On" as a high-stepping breakdown. A spare, energetic effort. Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Velvet Underground

by
Velvet Underground
It seems rather silly for the ultimate cult band to have a volume of Universal's 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection series, since even if the Velvet Underground were often song oriented, they were never singles oriented, and if this series is anything, it's singles oriented. That doesn't mean VU's 20th Century Masters doesn't work, ...

The Dils' studio productions, as primitive as they were, were so much better sounding than the wealth of live material that's been issued of the band that it doesn't make sense to pick up an anthology that includes most, but not all, of those studio tracks. That's what you get on Dils Dils Dils, which has six of their eight studio songs, but is ...

Sadly, outside of a handful of audience tapes of extremely variable fidelity, no one thought to make a live recording of The Velvet Underground during their 1967-68 peak period with John Cale prodding Lou Reed into remarkable flights of noise rock fancy. However, in 1969 a VU fan who was a recording engineer brought a reel-to-reel tape machine to ...

With only 11 tracks, this Universal Masters Collection is a pretty solid little Velvet Underground compilation. There's plenty missing, but what's here is not only solid, but offers a great sampler of the kind of power and diversity the band had in its heyday -- and even for a few minutes after. Thankfully, the producers offer an unedited, 17 ...
