John Cale of the Velvet Underground fame doesn`t give up on recording music. On his latest album he doesn`t pretend to be a young and crazy fellow, oh, no, he records songs like "In a flood" where he sounds just like Johnny Cash a few years before his death. But he isn`t always like that, he also does stuff like "Outta the Bag" where you`d be surprised that the man is over 60 years old. Of course, the days of experimantion Cale was best known for are long gone now but he has some of the weird charm not many musicians have. My favourite track on the record is "Perfect" which sounds so rocking you`d never think it was the same John Cale. With it`s simple rocking sound Cale doesn`t like a dinosaur that still doesn`t wanna die but like a very diverse musician that will record until the day he dies interesting music that will selll badly.
