Nico




Let's not forget Nico. Photo model (see Bill Evans cover), vocalist with Velvet Underground and dramatic (and hard living) rocker on her own. Read James Young's biography "Nico. Songs they never play on the radio". Some of the dark stuff she made with John Cale close by, "Desert Shore" and "The Marble Index" is in the shops as double CD with extra material.
Just like Ivor Cutler she prefered the instrument harmonium.
