Rock And Roll Heart - Lou Reed

Rock And Roll Heart - Lou Reed
3:06
Rock And Roll Heart, 1976
Written by Lou Reed

Lou Reed gets anthemic, sort of.  It's a low-key groove that trades Reed's usual grit and snarl for a smooth, almost loungey vibe.  He's just looking for a good time, you know?  It has one of Lou's corniest couplets: "I guess I'm just dumb, 'cause I know that I ain't smart / But deep down inside, I got a rock 'n' roll heart."  He's staking out a new identity on a new album, with a sly shrug.  Maybe it's really Lou Reed this time, or maybe it's just "Lou Reed."
