Light in the Attic's Liner Notes - A Tribute to Lou Reed with Bill Bentley

It goes without saying that the legendary Lou Reed was a true rock ’n’ roll pioneer. From The Velvet Underground’s debut in 1967 all the way through the end of his days, Reed sang truth from his heart. He lived life to the limit—and then some. On this episode of Light in the Attic's Liner Notes, we sit down with album producer Bill Bentley to talk about our new release, The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed. Bentley, who was Reed's publicist and friend, shares his personal stories and insights into the making of this compilation. The album is a tribute to Reed’s freedom of expression with new covers spanning his ground-breaking years with the Velvets into his majestic solo career. Featuring newly recorded covers from Keith Richards, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Rufus Wainwright, Lucinda Williams, Maxim Ludwig & Angel Olsen, Rickie Lee Jones, Mary Gauthier, Bobby Rush, Automatic, The Afghan Whigs, Rosanne Cash, and Brogan Bentley, The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed (Light in the Attic Records) is available at fine independent record shops worldwide on Record Store Day (4/20/24) and streaming everywhere you get your digital music.
