Walk on the Wild Side: The Best of Lou
Reed was the standard record company
"hits" compilation surveying Reed's five-
year, eight-album sojourn at RCA from
1972 to 1976. Its 11 songs included two
from Lou Reed, three from Transformer
(among them, of course, this album's title
track, Reed's sole chart hit), one from Ber-
lin, two from Rock N Roll Animal (one of
is Sweet Jane minus the introductory fan-
fare), and the title tracks from Sally Can't
Dance and Coney Island Baby, plus the
previously non-LP B-side "Nowhere at All."
It was a bulletproof selection, as unimagi-
native as it was dependable, which oddly
was why it worked so well. Reed's solo ca-
reer had seen some extreme tangents and
this album caught them, from the Dylan-ish
"Wild Child" to the glam pop of the Trans-
former material, and from the heavy metal
rearrangements of old Velvet Underground
songs on Rock N Roll Animal to the at-
tempts at straightforward adult singer-
songwriter rock on songs like "Coney Is-
land Baby." The regular albums had been
uneven, but here Reed comes off as an
accomplished dabbler in a variety of styles
who really had something to say and said
it sometimes humorously sometimes fran-
tically, but always with conviction. Reed
has been a prolific artist, and this album
captures only a fraction of his catalog, but
he is actually less eclectic as a rule than
this collection makes him seem, so the re-
sult is an excellent introduction.
