Released in March 1975, initially, the album offers a false sense of mellow security: \"Mr Wilson\", a tribute to Brian, the leader of Cale's beloved Beach Boys starts the on a much sweeter note than \"Fear Is A Man's Best Friend\", as does \"Taking It All Away\"; by \"Dirty Ass Rock'n'Roll\" Slow Dazzle is off to darker terrain, business as usual. Cale, however, cannot resist a pop song and a ballad \"Ski Patrol\" is a great two-minute vignette, and \"I'm Not The Loving Kind\" is soul-baring. The album's reputation, however, rests on two tracks \"Guts\", a bald telling of Cale's wife's infidelity and his pitch-black cover of Elvis Presley's \"Heartbreak Hotel\". 50 years later, these songs still pack a tremendous punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Mr. Wilson\u003cbr\u003e2 Taking It All Away\u003cbr\u003e3 Dirty-Ass Rock 'N' Roll\u003cbr\u003e4 Darling I Need You\u003cbr\u003e5 Rollaroll\u003cbr\u003e6 Heartbreak Hotel\u003cbr\u003e7 Ski Patrol\u003cbr\u003e8 I'm Not the Loving Kind\u003cbr\u003e9 Guts\u003cbr\u003e10 The Jeweller\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59547618443345,"sku":"805520240802","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/5778\/3889\/files\/4385245-3289522.jpg?v=1779335235","url":"https:\/\/c09u90-kd.myshopify.com\/products\/john-cale-slow-dazzle-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
