John Cale was the most musically astute member of the Velvet Underground and on this album it shows. Soon after being fired from VU, Cale found work as a producer (The Stooges, Nico) and a collaborator (most notably with avant garde musician, Terry Riley). But he also began crafting songs influenced by the Beach Boys, the Band, and Phil Spector. He was also enthralled by Little Feat's Dixie Chicken enough to hire three members of the band, including Lowell George, to back him on this, his third solo album, Paris 1919. It also includes production by Chris Thomas, who we introduced you to in previous podcasts. Find out more about this album and this fascinating musician who went from working with Aaron Copeland to becoming the godfather of punk.
