"In this vivid, wide-ranging book, Mark Doyle hunts down the ghosts haunting Cale's most enduring solo album. There is the ghost of the Velvet Underground, whose abrasive sound and ethos Cale nearly managed to exorcise. There is the ghost of Dylan Thomas, a fellow Welshman who haunts not just Paris 1919 but much of Cale's life and art.

With erudition and wit, Doyle offers new ways to listen to an old album whose mysteries will never fully be resolved"--…mehr
