Keith Richards Covers Velvet Underground’s ‘Waiting for the Man’ for Forthcoming Lou Reed Tribute Album
Rolling Stone Keith Richards previews the forthcoming Lou Reed tribute album with a cover of his ‘Waiting for the Man’ — watch the video here.
Even amid the literally thousands of Lou Reed cover versions that have emerged over the past half century — by everyone from David Bowie to Patti Smith to R.E.M. Richards’ version of the Reed classic arrived Friday morning, previewing “The Power of the Heart,” a tribute album that also features Angel Olsen, Lucinda Williams, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Rufus Wainwright, Rickie Lee Jones, Rosanne Cash and others; the full tracklist for the album, which was unveiled rather quietly as part of the larger Record Store Day announcement — appears below. It arrives April 19 — with a special Record Store Day edition arriving the following day — on Seattle’s awesome indie Light in the Attic Records (which was chosen by the late artist’s estate to handle his reissues and got a Grammy nomination for the “Words & Music: May, 1965” album).
