The legendary musician's distinctive artistic take on Edgar Allan Poe includes some of the most personal lyrics of his career (Rolling Stone).One of the most influential and innovative recording artists of the past three decades, Lou Reed has always offered a shrewd view of life in the big city in all its colors. It is no surprise, then, that he considers Edgar Allan Poe a spiritual forefather.
