The ultimate John Cale
John Cale, after departing the Velvet Underground, made solo records. A lot of solo records. Boiling down a nearly-four-decade career to a single CD-R would seem impossible, but Jeremy Richey at Moon in the Gutter has taken a stab at it, with nineteen tracks, starting with two from the mostly-pastoral Vintage Violence, circa 1970, and winding up with two from 2005’s blackAcetate. Says Richey, “This isn’t much of an introduction but it is one killer CD.” I don’t doubt it.
