Lou Reed & John Cale: Songs for Drella
Songs for Drella is a concept album created by Lou Reed and John Cale, who were both formerly members of The Velvet Underground. The album is devoted to the memory of Andy Warhol, who was their mentor who passed away suddenly in 1987. It was Warhol Superstar Ondine who gave Andy Warhol the nickname "Drella," which was a contraction of the names Dracula and Cinderella and was utilized by Warhol's audience. Warhol's first-person perspective, which accounts for the vast majority of the album's content, third-person narratives chronicling events and affairs, and first-person commentaries on Warhol by Reed and Cale themselves are all included in the song cycle, which focuses on the interpersonal relations and experiences of Warhol. The songs on the album are arranged, to a certain extent, in the sequence in which they were recorded.
