Containing a body of work that spans more than three decades; Pass Thru Fire is a stunning collection of the lyrics of an American original. Through his many incarnations-from proto punk to glam rocker to elder statesman of the avant garde-Lou Reeds work has maintained an undeniable vividness and raw beauty; fueled by precise character studies and rendered with an admirable shot of moral ambiguity. Beginning with his formative days in the Velvet Underground and continuing through his remarkable solo career-albums like Transformer; Berlin; New York; Magic and Loss; and Ecstasy-Pass Thru Fire is crucial to an appreciation of Lou Reed; not only as a consummate underground musician; but as one of the truly significant poets of our time.
