BRYAN FERRY'S 'THE JAZZ AGE' AND OTHER NEW CD RECOMMENDATIONS

bryan ferry the-jazz-agePREVIEW/BUY THE CD HERE

Bryan Ferry, never averse to a re-make/re-model (as his lifelong parallel career as a covers-crooner of “ready-mades” has established), has cooked up something completely unexpected and unprecedented here. Not least because he doesn’t sing on it.

The Jazz Age is an instrumental set in which numbers spanning from Roxy Music’s “Virginia Plain” to “Reason or Rhyme” from most recent solo album Olympia are radically reimagined.

Some are only faintly recognisable. His hits and cult items are fashioned as they might have been in the Paris of the Roaring Twenties, or the Gatsby ballrooms of F. Scott Fitzgerald (a poster-boy of doomed romanticism to whom Ferry has never struggled to relate).

A peculiar concept then, with Ferry now, almost Warhol-like, sagely mute to one side while collaborators silkscreen his own icons. As fascinating as it is perplexing, anything but obvious, and therefore to be applauded. — BBC

WIN AN AUTOGRAPHED LONE BELLOW LP AT OUR NEW RELEASE LISTENING PARTY!

lone bellow signedWin an autographed vinyl LP of The Lone Bellow‘s buzzed-about self-titled debut (now available at the RX on CD and LP) at our next New Release Tuesday Listening Party (Feb. 19, 6 p.m.)!

Drawing apt comparisons to everyone from The Lumineers to Mumford & Sons, The Lone Bellow calls their music “Brooklyn country music.” In a 9.4 out of 10.0 review, Paste magazine said “It’s hard to believe music rooted in tragedy can sweep listeners along with such potent exuberance, but Brooklyn’s The Lone Bellow creates a sweeping country rock that uses the three part harmonies of lead singer/writer Zach Williams, guitarist Brian Elmquist and mandolin player Kanene Pipkin to set Williams’ songs ablaze in emotion, passion and the moments where life is its most extreme.”
