Comment: The thing about Lou Reed is that while he may well be a misanthrope, he can write great songs, like this one off Legendary Hearts. Meanwhile, with the exception of a smashing Paramore and Alkaline track, this is all Blues all the time, where a self-avowed non Blues fan is wowed by the late Albert King and the current Buddy Guy and BB King, magically revived Friday night.
