Some Great Songs.
, April 15, 2000Reviewer:
Angst McCullen - See all Angst McCullen's reviews A lot of great songs are on this retrospect. "New York Telephone Conversation" has to be one of the most clever ditties in the Lou Reed oeuvre. Of course, there is the classic "Walk On Wild Side" and Berlin's "How do you think it feels;" however, I don't understand why VU material has segued to a Lou Reed solo project. I think VU and Reed's compositions should remain seperate, Likewise, the songs "Vicious" "Lady Day" or "Sad Song" could have been a better alternative than "Sweet Jane" and "White Light" Nevetheless, it's still a nice listen; a good introduction for new listeners as well. ...

Pro Reviews: Walk on the Wild Side: The Best of Lou Reed
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Walk on the Wild Side: The Best of Lou Reed was the standard record company "hits" compilation surveying Reed's five-year, eight-album sojourn at RCA from 1972 to 1976. Its 11 songs included two from Lou Reed, three from Transformer (among them, of course, this album's title track, Reed's sole chart hit), one from Berlin, two from Rock N' Roll Animal (one of which is "Sweet Jane," minus the introductory fanfare), and the title tracks from Sally Can't Dance and Coney Island Baby, plus the previously non-LP B-side "Nowhere at All." It was a bullet-proof selection, as unimaginative as it was dependable, which oddly was why it worked so well. Reed's solo career had seen some extreme tangents, and this album caught them, from the Dylan-ish "Wild Child" to the glam-pop of the Transformer material, and from the heavy metal rearrangements of old Velvet Underground songs on Rock N' Roll Animal to the attempts at straightforward adult singer/songwriter rock on songs like "Coney Island Baby." The regular albums had been uneven, but here Reed came off as an accomplished dabbler in a variety of styles who really had something to say and said it, sometimes humorously, sometimes frantically, but always with conviction. Reed has been a prolific artist, and this album captures only a fraction of his catalog, but he is actually less eclectic as a rule than this collection makes him seem, so the result is an excellent introduction. - William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide |

The career of Lou Reed defies capsule summarization. Like David Bowie (whom Reed directly inspired in many ways), he has made over his image many times, mutating from theatrical glam-rocker to scary looking junkie to avant-garde noiseman to straight ...Full Lou Reed Biography
