You know, I often hearken back to Songs for 'Drella. And man, the ones Cale provides vocals for are immense. But just listen to Lou's guitar! Listen to the guitar line on "Trouble With Classicists." Listen to the absolute genius of his guitar on "Forever Changed."
Forget the technical players. The only living guitarist that rivals Lou is Neil Young. And Neil has had even fewer solo zeniths on record as of late. True, Neil is the best live, there's not a whole lot of comparison there, but Lou is to be respected for his immeasurably expressive talent.
