Hudson River Wind Meditations is the twentieth and final solo studio album by American musician Lou Reed, released in April 2007 by Sounds True. Hal Willner and Reed produced the album, a collection of meditational music intended to relax the body, mind and spirit, adjunct to Tai chi and bodywork. It is a departure from his regular rock output.
It is named for one of New York City's key features, the Hudson River. The cover photograph is also by Reed.
