Very clever selection of the songs here both stylistically, as well as with regard to the original Artitsts the song. Will be opened here with a Dylan cover, the Ferry so make it his own, that one could easily assume it would be his own Kompositon. The always slightly eccentric-blasé phrasing of the chorus and the arrangement provides the whole thing even further in a context of Roxy Music.
Not bad, but a little too well-behaved then River Of Salt u. Dont Ever Change.
Impressive though how little Ferry vokalistisch with his rendition of Piece Of My Heart Janis Joplin then let impress, then only 5 years old, the ultimate version. Joplin is version after in terms of Verve in nothing. Pure snappy 50s RocknRoll are Baby I Dont Care u. Its My Party, the latter has achieved a particularly successful arrangement. The Beach Boys Cover Dont Worry Baby sounds then wall-of-sound standard like a Phil Spector production (only is the sound quality here is far better).
In his version of the Stones Monuments Sympathy For The Devil then the ghosts. For some it's naughty and. With total disrespect succeeded for another sacrilege what Ferry makes of it. Yes it grooves less than the Stones, but it has for all vertices u. Edges and especially wg. Ferry's lecture so delightfully smug aura that it can persuade and yes the added Horns are absolutely sexy.
The Soul of the Miracles he Ferrifiziert then as well as the Beatles get on You Wont See Me a completely new and quite successful painting. I Love How You Love Me sounds disarmingly naive and sentimental and the Four Tops Cover Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever surprisingly powerful. The largest pearl he stands out with the album's title track donors but on the final. So delicate, intelligent, and melancholy-intensive has interpreted never before or after someone These Foolish Things. Arrangement default, it relies on the classic bar-jazz sound, which is then spiced with percussion and handclaps and something: Ferry's vocals here provides a unique experience. Effortlessly, phrasing great and despite its increasingly smug timbres text lines sound absolutely serious.
This solo debut ranks definitely among the top 3 of his albums, and best of all, it is also used on vinyl very easy and cheap to obtain. Mixed it is incidentally also excellent.
