The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico Album

Throughout their career, The Velvet Underground had many different personal changes, but it was their debut, The Velvet Underground and Nico album, that saw the band at its best with the strongest lineup. This album featured the poetic Lou Reed, with his dry flat. Dylanesque delivery; John Cale, the most artistic and musically gifted of the group; Sterling Morrison, the band’s underrated and underappreciated founder; and Maureen Tucker, whose drumming on "Heroin" is essential . And of course you have Nico; the German-born actress/singer who was installed in the band by producer Andy Warhol. Her icy beauty and gorgeous delivery helped make "The Velvet Underground and Nico" the classic that it is.
