The Velvet Underground — White Light/ White Heat Earthless and the breezy “Parties” grapplesVelvet Underground: Lou Reed (vocals, guitar, piano); Sterling Morrison (vocals, guitar, bass); John Cale (vocals, electric viola, organ, bass); Maureen Tucker (percussion). WHITE LIGHT WHITE HEAT, the Velvet Underground's second album, is the band at their most calculated and perverse, but it also shows another side. It is a glimpse of the more accessible rock which Lou Reed wrote but wasn't entirely comfortable with until the group's third album.
