CD Reviews

Info: This Afterhours is NOT Lou Reed

12/17/2002

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Afterhours by the Carol Lou Trio appeared on the "Everything you've ever heard" boot. The only connection with Lou Reed is that two different Mr Reed's coincidentally both wrote songs called Afterhours. This is not the Velvet Underground song, no Velvet Underground member played on it, Lou Reed did not write it. I believe the Carol Lou Song dates from the 1970s! The other 5 songs are Kosher.
...An earlier book of VU lyrics had questionable legality, inaccurate lyrics and a bootleg disc of Ride Into The Sun. This time, we've started off with inaccurate info and I guess dubious legality of the CD. This bodes ill for contents of the book: I hope I'm wrong."
