gvq the cd package arrived yesterday. I love the album & especially your versions of Nico songs..your Lou Reed persona on "Slow Jones " is probably spot on. Favorite track: Frozen Warnings.

padraicogl A fantastic record....which is redundant ...its Chris Connelly. Favorite track: Ripcord, Ripcord.

about

EULOGY TO CHRISTA: A TRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC & MYSTIQUE OF NICO was originally planned as an album of Nico cover songs, but after reading ‘You Are Beautiful and Your Are Alone’ by author Jennifer Otter Bickerdicke, Chris decided to write a parallel album of his own compositions, spanning the life of one of the most unique, tragic and misunderstood female artists in the history of music.

The Nico material spans from her first Jimmy Page-composed single B-side through her time with The Velvet Underground, to her intense and unique solo recordings up until her death. In song, Connelly follows her from Berlin to New York via Paris, Ibiza, and Rome, then back through Paris, London, Edinburgh, Manchester and up to her tragic and needless death in Ibiza.

Jennifer Otter Bickerdicke writes of the album: “This is a record to be played at full blast, all the way through, as a commemoration not just to Nico the person, the musician, but to art for art’s sake, for making something because it is important and needs to be done – an idea that is as rare and precious as Nico herself.”
