"ohn Cale first solo album, originally released in 1970, came as a pleasant surprise to many fans of Velvet Underground. After his departure from V.U. in 1968 Cale had among other things produced for Nico, and some may have expected a more radical album, but here Cale reveals himself as a brillian..." [+] Reply
"Better known for his crooner attitude, JP is a romance singer. But two albums in his repertoire are different (this one and Soleil).
