Part three of Cale's epic trilogy with Island records is Helen of Troy. Just kook at this cast of musicians: John Cale, Brian Eno, Chris Spedding, and Phil Collins. Hey, Phil is an excellent drummer. This record contains a song that Cale hoped Sinatra would cover. That never happened, but I see why Cale thought that is was a good idea. This is another record packed with awesomeness. He even covers Jonathan Richman's Pablo Picasso, and his version is much better than Bowie's cover.
Sadly, Cale never created any rock records quite like these again, though he released lots of music that I loved, especially Music for a New Society.
