- Acoustic version of Venus in Furs from Peel Slowly And See [Disc 1] played by Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison. Actually the demo is longer, they sing the song 3 times : this is 2nd time, best one...
Enjoy !
Cale has an almost Scarborough Fair Elizabethan feel to this. Fascinating.
John Cale is one of the most underrated musicians of all time.Swapping out the strings on that electric viola for guitar strings gave the fierce drone on the first two records.
I would love to hear Nico singing this.
"Vicar, would you mind singing this tune for us?"
John Cale makes this version so alluring and captivating. His voice is beautiful and in great contrast to the somewhat dark lyrics of this masterpiece. I am truly blown away by its sheer beauty. Help,i cant stop listening to this.
Wish I could pay the local bards in Skyrim to play this
Sounds like they were listening to a lot of Simon and Garfunkle.
From everything I've read I am surprised Cale didn't get a writing credit on this. He virtually invented drone drone rock... or at least introduced drone to popular music
Gorgeous voice Cale has. And how can anyone think this is Reed? Reed's voice is pretty distinctive.
“Cale sings Venus in Furs as a hymn, Satanic perhaps, but a hymn nonetheless." - Source: Sal Mercuri REVIEW
Literally early velvet underground is classical,ancient and traditional folk type music using electric guitars ,bass and drums that's why their music sounds so timeless and touching as well as a little touch of experimetal textures and sounds .
This is the Renaissance Fair version!
Gives a whole new dimension and vibe to this song !! I like this version even if its not better than the original
Wow! I never heard this before! John Cale is excellent on this!
I just discovered this song watching TVU documentary, its just so spiritual singing, way ahead Lou singing. Very emotional and pure
I strongly recommend the new VU documentary to any of their fans.
My favorite version of this song!
this is john cale ( and that accent is amanford valley, carmarthenshire, wales.) and personally i love this version best. tough shit.x
Never heard this version before. It starts off as a pure English folk song. The music continues as such but the lyrics become really dirty , as I remember the song
Like the medieval feel of this version
