Summary: Great biography of my fave rock artist
Comment: This informative biography of the innovative musician John Cale covers the period 1942 to 2001. It includes about 40 black and white photographs from early pics of Cale in a school play to the creative sixties and seventies with Cale together with the usual suspects like Nico and other musicians.
The text includes interesting descriptions of his solo albums and his contributions to Velvet Underground albums. These passages are often placed in historical context, for example the album Words For The Dying with its centrepiece The Falklands Suite and the time of its composition after the Falklands War.
There are also e-mail messages from Cale following the destruction of the Twin Towers. The main text ends with a performance by Cale, Brian Eno and Marianne Faithfull on 2 February 2002 at the Old Billingsgate Fish Market overlooking the Thames, in celebration of the opening of the Andy Warhol exhibition at the Tate Modern gallery in London.
The book contains extensive discographies of his solo albums, singles, albums with Cale as guest musician, Velvet Underground albums with John Cale, his own compilation albums, various compilation albums with exclusive John Cale tracks, videos/DVDs with soundtracks by Cale, official John Cale videos and finally, albums on which Cale was the producer/co-producer/arranger. This excellent work concludes with a thorough index. I also recommend John Cale's autobiography, titled What's Welsh For Zen.
