Foolish Like The Flowers

This CD features a handpicked, reasoned selection of songs from that concert, drawing – even if sometimes briefy – on all parts of Andersen's long career. From his early folk days in the mid-Sixties with the ballad Dusty Box Car Wall , contained in his beautiful 1965 debut album Today Is the Highway , to more recent songs like the surprising You Can't Relive the Past , written and recorded with former Velvet Underground member Lou Reed, this collection proves that the Norwegian singer-songwriter has always roamed the wide world of contemporary music, refusing to get stuck in the comfort zone of his early works, like many of his fellow artists.
