Paris 1919 is an album by Welsh musician John Cale, released in March 1973. It was produced by Chris Thomas and features a backing band consisting largely of members of Little Feat.Paris 1919 is made up of songs with arcane and complex lyrics; musically, the album is a shift from his previous works with composer Terry Riley and his avant-garde experiments with La Monte Young towards a more baroque sound. It is the most accessible and traditional of Cale's albums, and the most well-known of his work as a solo artist.
