Moe Tucker - I Spent A Week There The Other Night (1991)

With more help from her indie-rock bigshot pals (Don Fleming, Brian Ritchie), "...Week..." also featured the first (sort of) Velvet Underground reunion, with Cale, Reed and Sterling Morrison guesting on separate tracks. Covering "And Then He Kissed Me" was inspired, as is the inclusion of the accusatory (and appropriately titled) "Fired Up." From start to finish, it rocks like crazy.

Included on the album is a cover of "Then He Kissed Me", originally by the Crystals, as well as a cover of the Velvet Underground song "I'm Waiting for the Man". "I Spent a Week There the Other Night" was reissued in 1994.

The album has performances by members of the Velvet Underground, including Lou Reed, Sterling Morrison and John Cale. All four original Velvets play together on "I'm Not", making it their only studio collaboration on original material since 1968. Members of Violent Femmes also contributed to the album. Tucker stuck mostly to rhythm guitar

A truly wonderful unpretentious album that really rocks! and rumbles in its one fiery yet casual way. It also has the best cover of "(And then) He kissed Me...". Fun lyrics...Great playing...If you like Moe Tucker- get it Now!!!!
