Various - Fifteen Minutes A Tribute To The Velvet Underground

Review by Robin McAllister

"Fifteen Minutes: A Tribute to The Velvet Underground" is an exceptional tribute album that pays homage to one of the most influential bands in the history of rock music. The album features a diverse range of artists, each bringing their own unique style and interpretation to the songs of The Velvet Underground.

The album opens with "Sunday Morning," performed by actor Michael Stipe, and sets the tone for the rest of the album. The songs are all beautifully arranged and performed, with each artist adding their own flavor to the mix. "Pale Blue Eyes" is given a country twist by Cowboy Junkies, while "Heroin" is transformed into a haunting ballad by The Black Angels.

Other standout tracks include "I'm Waiting for the Man" by The Raveonettes, which features a driving beat and distorted guitars, and "All Tomorrow's Parties" by The Dandy Warhols, which has a dreamy, psychedelic quality.
