Alternative music legend Chris Connelly released his latest album,\\xa0 paying tribute to the iconic Nico, the Velvet Underground muse and one of the most unique, tragic and misunderstood female artists in the history of music called "Eulogy to Christa: A Tribute To The Music and Mystique Of Nico,"

On this album, Connelly worked with producer and long time collaborator Chris Bruce. \\xa0"Eulogy to Christa" is a labor of love, empathy, sadness, acting and channeling, along with Connelly's adoration of the dark corner of rock inhabited by the Velvets and their peers. This album sees Connelly purposefully adopt the personas of Nico, Lou Reed and John Cale.\\xa0 The album was inspired by the book "You Are Beautiful And You Are Alone" by Jennifer Otter Bickerdicke, who contributed to the album liner notes, noting "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."
