KEITH’S ‘waiting for his man’
OUT TODAY in celebration of Lou Reed’s birthday, a wonderful version of ‘I’m Waiting For The Man,’ by KEITH RICHARDS.
“To me, Lou stood out,” said Keith. “The real deal! Something important to American music and to all music. I miss him, and his dog.”
The track forms part of the Lee Reed tribute album, ‘Power of the Heart,’ and also features – among others – Lucinda Williams, The Afghan Whigs and Rickie Lee Jones.
Blending generation-defining hits, ‘I’m Waiting for the Man,’ ‘Walk on the Wild Side,’ and ‘Perfect Day’ with lesser-known gems, the collection spans the artist’s five-decade long career from his earliest days with The Velvet Underground to his groundbreaking solo work.
‘The Power of The Heart: A Tribute To Lou Reed,’ will be available on Silver Nugget Vinyl exclusively for Record Store Day (April 20) at participating independent retailers.
