Heard some of his ltest stuff. Love Is The Drug done in a 20's Jazz style (live with he and a lady singing on NPR btw) is a killer tune (with or without the vocals).

I've always enjoyed Ferry's 'cool' vibe

Never appreciated Mr. Ferry's music much — blame it on an ocean's physical distance and a cultural distance that kept me preoccupied with ZZ Top and the Allman Brothers. 

That is, until I saw the movie "Flashbacks of a Fool."  Great movie, and the one Ferry tune marks a pivotal moment in the teenaged boy's life.  Bummer I missed him in the 70's.

Never heard this on RP, love it. One of my favorite CDs for the back porch on a cool, breezy day.

Had NO idea this was Bryan Ferry!  I love it. Edgy, quirky, dark. He should be singing this in tight jeans, a T-shirt with the sleeve rolled up to hold a pack of cigarettes, and maybe a big bling-ring on his finger.  This is good, gritty stuff. {#Sunny}

I hope you stopped short of the "I'm having a stroke" expression  he has on his face as he sings.

Love a lot of Roxy.  Never dove deep into Bryan.  Like this tune but not enough to buy the album.

Apparently this is a Dave Stewart collaboration but the album has many styles, some Dylan covers, and some Johnny Greenwood guitar (per AMG).  Maybe I will get it.

Is revered around the world except USA. Open people please check out Roxy Music his first band, then delve deeper into his catalog.
You will not be dissapointed.

Long a fan of his earlier material, I haven't heard his newer stuff. I was pleasantly surprised. His voice is still instantly recognisable, if not quite as powerful on this track as I remember it from before.

Bought this CD after hearing "Going Down."

I liked Roxy and almost all of his solo stuff.

But this album really sucks. He does a bunch of Dylan covers, that aren't really that great, IMHO.

Was really disappointed. I may have to listen to it again, but on first listening, it was painful.

Heard this first on WDET in Detroit. It's really grown on me and there are other great cuts as well. Thanks for playing it.
