John Cale reinvented all of The Velvet Underground & Nico and most of White Light/White Heat last night at Philharmonie de Paris. Backed by his core band and wealth of guest vocalists he didn't follow the blueprints (or running order) of the albums, but transformed them in something new. Those sometimes drastic reinterpretations evolving around the keyboards and guitar worked really well - I'm Waiting For The Man was slowed down, There She Goes Again got close to a modern dance club hit thanks to the guys of Animal Collective. Quite a few people left during Mark Lanegan's haunting The Black Angel's Death Song, proving that it is still to scary for some after The Velvet Underground played it once too often at the Cafe Bizarre in New York in 1965.
Singer Mark Lanegan will be on tour with a full band in the USA and Europe.

USA dates:Mark Lanegan has posted a stream of his John Cale cover I'm Not The Loving Kind. His covers album Imitations drops on September 13:
When I was a kid in the late sixties and early seventies, my parents and their friends would play the records of Andy Williams, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Perry Como, music with string arrangements and men singing songs that sounded sad whether they were or not. At home my folks were also listening to country music, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, George Jones and Vern Gosdin were some of our favorites. For a long time I’ve wanted to make a record that gave me the same feeling those old records did, using some of the same tunes I loved as a kid and some that I’ve loved as I have gotten older. This record is it. Imitations.
Mark Lanegan covers John Cale. I'm Not The Loving Kind will be released on his new album Imitations. Available on September 17th, 2013.
