**** COMPELLING - The Sunday Telegraph CONTROVERSIAL ... Sounes'
book pushes the standard Reed narrative - The New York Times Lou
Reed, who died in 2013, was best known to the general public as the
grumpy New Yorker in black who sang 'Walk on the Wild Side'. To his
dedicated admirers, however, he was one of the most innovative and
intelligent American songwriters of modern times, a natural
outsider who lived a tumultuous and tortured life. In this
in-depth, meticulously researched and very entertaining biography,
respected biographer Howard Sounes examines the life and work of
this fascinating man, from birth to death, including his time as
the leader of The Velvet Underground - one of the most important
bands in rock'n'roll. Written with a deep knowledge and
understanding of the music, Sounes also sheds entirely new light on
the artist's creative process, his mental health problems, his
bisexuality, his three marriages, and his addictions to drugs and
alcohol. In the course of his research, Sounes has interviewed over
140 people from every part of Lou Reed's life - some of whom have
not spoken publicly about him before - including music industry
figures, band members, fellow celebrities, family members, former
wives and lovers. This book brings Lou Reed and his world alive.
