Various – I’ll Be Your Mirror: A Tribute To The Velvet Underground and Nico

I’ll Be Your Mirror: A Tribute to the Velvet Underground and Nico – a spellbinding contemporary version of the Velvets debut, with each of the album’s songs performed by one of the band’s noteworthy artistic descendants. The album was overseen and executive produced by Hal Wilner, Reed’s dear friend and producer who died last year.

The Velvet Underground and Nico single-handedly redefined the boundaries of what rock and roll could achieve and express. It invented the very notion of alternative rock, and it laid the blueprint for punk, grunge and every rebellious underground gesture to follow.
