Rock and Roll Heart is the seventh solo studio album by American rock musician Lou Reed, released in November 1976. It was his first album for Arista Records after record mogul Clive Davis reportedly rescued him from bankruptcy. "A Sheltered Life" dates back to 1967, when the Velvet Underground recorded a demo of it (available on 1995's Peel Slowly and See). The Velvet Underground also performed "Follow the Leader", and a live recording of it was released on The Quine Tapes (2001).
The cover art is credited to Mick Rock.
