[Review] Bryan Ferry: These Foolish Things (1973)

Ferry turns his revolutionary eye to rock & roll classics and performs them in his own particular, aagh, idiom.

The man with the golden lips knocks off nine more covers and one brilliant original without breaking a sweat.

Re-makes of Roxy songs make this his most appealing solo record to date, but the remodeled covers are equally rousing.

Ferry’s first full album of original material smooths over the rough edges of Roxy.

The hero of Roxy returns from Avalon as bewitched and beautiful as you remember.

The ultra-romantic sound of Avalon returns on Ferry’s brilliant and eminently danceable post-Roxy debut.

This Ferry/Roxy compilation topped the UK charts, proving that fans were still carrying a torch for their favorite torch song singer.

Ferry and Madonna producer Patrick Leonard team for an album of polished, sophisticated dance pop.

Kind of like Love Me Madly Again, again, only more stylish and polished.

The appearance of “Amazing Grace” might suggest Bryan had reached the bottom of the barrel, but he wisely covers himself with top-notch production.

A safe bete if you liked his last album, this time with Eno and rockin’ Robin Trower in the mix.
