A star-studded tribute LP for the late genial rock star, titled
THE POWER OF THE HEART: A LOU REED TRIBUTE
will come out on Record Store Day, April 20.

It’ll be a special edition pressed on Silver Nugget wax and housed in a silver laminated jacket. The booklet features liner notes by compilation producer & former Lou Reed publicist Bill Bentley, featuring photos by Mick Rock and Timothy Greenfield-Sanders

Pre-order UK here.

The digital version will also be available on the same day
via Bandcamp. The CD can be ordered from April 19 on.

We already enjoyed Rufus Wainwright with his tender version of Perfect Day
and Keith Richards with I’m Waiting For The Man (which Keef did half of his life).

Angel Olsen and Maxim Ludwig are also part of the tribute. They cover Can’t Stand It, written by Reed for The Velvet Underground. I never heard Olsen performing on such a loud track.
