With so many Lou Reed books focusing on his private life, Chris Wade's THE MUSIC OF LOU REED goes against the trend and takes a real, close up look at each album and phase of his recording career. From the Velvet Underground years to his final work, Wade delves deep into his discography, stopping along the way at Berlin, Coney Island Baby, Growing Up in Public and all his great works. Also includes interviews with those who worked with Lou over the years.
