Last year, longtime Saturday Night Live music producer Hal Willner died of complications from COVID-19 at the age of 64. When he passed away, Willner had just finished working on an all-star T. Rex tribute album; that compilation, AngelHeaded Hipster: The Songs Of Marc Bolan And T. Rex, came out last year, a few months after Willner’s death. Willner was also overseeing another tribute album, one that will feature a bunch of different stars taking on the songs from the Velvet Underground’s landmark 1967 debut album The Velvet Underground & Nico. That album, now complete, will come out this fall, and it looks pretty awesome.
