Our Take

Roxy Music's "Country Life" creates a whimsical and ethereal landscape that is as captivating as it is perplexing. Frontman Bryan Ferry's suave vocals paired with the band's eclectic instrumentation make for a truly unique listening experience.

From the opening track, "The Thrill of It All," to the closing notes of "Prairie Rose," Roxy Music takes listeners on a journey through a musical countryside that is both familiar and slightly off-kilter. Tracks like "Out of the Blue" and "Bitter-Sweet" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend elements of rock, pop, and avant-garde into a cohesive sound.

The album's standout track, "Casanova," is a funky and infectious tune that will have you grooving along in no time. With its catchy hooks and infectious beat, it is sure to become a fan favorite.

However, "Country Life" is not without its flaws. Some tracks seem to meander aimlessly, losing the listener's interest along the way. Despite this, the album's overall charm and inventiveness make it a worthwhile addition to any music lover's collection.

In conclusion, Roxy Music's "Country Life" is a whimsical and enchanting album that showcases the band's musical prowess and creative vision. While not without its imperfections, it is a must-listen for fans of quirky and eclectic music.

About the artist

Roxy Music

Roxy Music - A Glam Rock Odyssey through Time and Space Roxy Music are the quintessential glam rock pioneers with a twist. Led by the enigmatic Bryan Ferry, this eclectic group of misfits have been thrilling audiences with their genre-defying sound since the early 1970s. From the glittering decadence of early hits like "Virginia Plain" to the slick sophistication of later albums like "Avalon," Roxy Music have consistently pushed the boundaries of what it means to be a rock band. Ferry's theatrical vocals and suave stage presence have made him a timeless icon, while the avant-garde musicianship of Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera have set Roxy Music apart as true innovators. With their eclectic mix of art rock, pop, and disco influences, Roxy Music have carved out a niche all of their own in the music world. Their self-titled debut album in 1972 was a game-changer, with its boundary-pushing sound and futuristic aesthetic. Songs like "Re-Make/Re-Model" and "Ladytron" showcased the band's eclectic influences and set the stage for what was to come. As they continued to evolve, Roxy Music experimented with new sounds and styles, always staying one step ahead of the curve. Roxy Music's influence can be heard in a wide range of artists, from David Bowie to LCD Soundsystem. Their legacy is undeniable, and their music continues to inspire new generations of musicians. With their unique blend of style, innovation, and pure rock and roll swagger, Roxy Music are a band like no other. So grab your sequins and get ready to dance, because the glam rock spectacle that is Roxy Music is here to stay.
