"Compelling...Sounes takes pride in carefully debunking the myths that have crept in from Reed's own fictionalizations." -- The Sunday Telegraph "Controversial...Sounes' book pushes the standard Reed narrative." -- New York Times "A measured chronicle of the life and music of Lou Reed...Sounes proves to be an amiable narrator who successfully reveals Reed as an innovative, influential musician." -- Publishers Weekly "A walk on the dark side." -- Independent "A must read...Sounes chronicles Reed's turbulent, and often brutal, relationships with men and women....and the wayward talent that produced such classics as 'Walk On The Wild Side.'" -- Daily Mail Praise for Fab: An Intimate Life of Paul McCartney "Few Beatle biographies are as exhaustive as this 634-page epic: Sounes (who wrote a similarly extensive Bob Dylan bio, Down the Highway ) paints an unsparing portrait of McCartney as a somewhat overconfident artist with a nasty competitive streak...For fans willing to ponder their hero's flaws, Fab delivers all you need to know." --Barry Walters, Rolling Stone "The graceful prose and superb storytelling create a riveting narrative." - Kirkus Reviews , Best Biographies of 2010 Praise for 27: A History of the 27 Club Through the Lives of Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse "This fine study looks at the tragic history of the 27 Club...Much of the book's power lies in its refusal to pander to the romantic-melancholy notion of the tortured young artist who lives fast and dies young. Instead the squalor and chaos of their everyday existence is exposed in uncompromising detail...This book is not about more rock star mythologizing. It's about skewering the mystery of the 27-connection, by exposing its all-too-tragic reality." - Sunday Times (UK) "In his latest pop-cultural study, Sounes offers a stern corrective to the adage that it's better to burn out than to fade away...A compelling examination of the effects of sudden fame on mentally fragile artists." - Kirkus Reviews Praise for Down the Highway: The Life of Bob Dylan "Many writers have tried to probe [Dylan's] life, but never has it been done so well, and so captivatingly." - The Boston Globe "Dylan comes alive...Sounes has added a wealth of new information to Dylan studies." -- New York Times Book Review "Sounes covers the highs and lows of Reed's personal and professional life...Reed was widely known to be a complex and deeply talented musician who dealt with addictions and mental health issues exacerbated by drug abuse. Sounes ably covers every aspect."-- Library Journal "There have been a raft of new or updated Reed bios since his 2013 death...But Sounes' stands out in that it gives the greatest page space to Reed's frustrating and off-putting personal behavior to those he loved, hated, and all in between...And while Sounes' concentration is often on the personal side of Reed, that doesn't mean he skimps on what is ostensibly the reason for someone to pick up the book: his music...Bold, raw, and revealing."-- Houston Press, "Compelling...Sounes takes pride in carefully debunking the myths that have crept in from Reed's own fictionalizations." -- The Sunday Telegraph "Controversial...Sounes' book pushes the standard Reed narrative." -- New York Times "A measured chronicle of the life and music of Lou Reed...Sounes proves to be an amiable narrator who successfully reveals Reed as an innovative, influential musician." -- Publishers Weekly "A walk on the dark side." -- Independent "A must read...Sounes chronicles Reed's turbulent, and often brutal, relationships with men and women....and the wayward talent that produced such classics as 'Walk On The Wild Side.'" -- Daily Mail Praise for Fab: An Intimate Life of Paul McCartney "Few Beatle biographies are as exhaustive as this 634-page epic: Sounes (who wrote a similarly extensive Bob Dylan bio, Down the Highway ) paints an unsparing portrait of McCartney as a somewhat overconfident artist with a nasty competitive streak...For fans willing to ponder their hero's flaws, Fab delivers all you need to know." --Barry Walters, Rolling Stone "The graceful prose and superb storytelling create a riveting narrative." - Kirkus Reviews , Best Biographies of 2010 Praise for 27: A History of the 27 Club Through the Lives of Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse "This fine study looks at the tragic history of the 27 Club...Much of the book's power lies in its refusal to pander to the romantic-melancholy notion of the tortured young artist who lives fast and dies young.

Synopsis
Fifty years after the concerts captured on the legendary album 1969: The Velvet Underground Live comes this illuminating biography of Lou Reed. As band leader of the Velvet Underground and later a successful solo artist, Reed was much more than what the general public came to know as the grumpy New Yorker in black who sang "Walk on the Wild Side." To his dedicated admirers, he was one of the most innovative and intelligent songwriters of modern times--a natural outsider who lived a tumultuous and tortured life. In the course of his deep research into Reed's life, from a humble upbringing on Long Island to death from liver disease in 2013, Howard Sounes interviewed more than 140 people who knew the artist intimately--some of whom have not spoken publicly about him before. With new revelations from former wives and lovers, family members, fellow band members and celebrities, and music industry figures, this book offers an updated, unfettered look at Reed's creative process, his mental health problems, his bisexuality, his three marriages, and his addictions to drugs and alcohol. Featuring previously unpublished photographs of some of Reed's most private moments, this is the definitive account of one of rock 'n' roll's most complicated and brilliant prophets., An in-depth, meticulously researched, and entertaining biography, examining the life and work of Lou Reed, from birth to death, including his time as the leader of The Velvet Underground--one of the most important bands in rock'n'roll history
