It does make sense to have Keith Richards cover I'm Waiting for the Man on a covers album for Record Store Day. It had to been that one or Heroin. The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed also features contributions from Lucinda Williams, Rufus Wainwright and The Afghan Whigs. The latter picked I Love You, Suzanne, Reed's last stab at mainstream success in 1984, including a really cheesy video that got a lot of exposure on MTV.
The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed will available in limited quantities (3000 LPs worldwide, undisclosed number of CDs) on April 20. The booklet features liner notes by compilation producer & former Lou Reed publicist Bill Bentley. Oddly enough they left off the title track from the LP version. Brogan Bentley's version of The Power Of The Heart is only released on the CD.
