A concept album of sorts, inspired in part by Brian Ferry's highly public breakup with supermodel Jerry Hall, THE BRIDE STRIPPED BARE features songs whose view of romance is, unsurprisingly, a tad bleaker than previous. The singer's persona here is less lounge lizard than the sort of guy who drives around L.A. in the rain ("Can't Let Go"), hoping to wipe out on Dead Man's Curve.
A strong batch of originals is on offer here, which, thanks in part to guitarist Waddy Wachtel, lean more toward the West Coast studio rock of Jackson Browne or Warren Zevon than is usual for Ferry. There are also a couple of covers that reinforce the bleak breakup theme, including what must be the most morose version of Sam and Dave's "Hold On (I'm Coming)" ever recorded. Not necessarily Ferry's best album, but certainly his most human.

Bride Stripped Bare
$8.85 All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.
Roxy Music's fifth album, SIREN, is a return to the form of their first couple of records--that is, it mixes astonishing material with some that, well, isn't quite as good. This is not to say that the band abandoned sophistication, however. If anything, they turned the suaveness up a notch--tracks like "Sentimental Fool" and the brilliant "Just Another High" both, albeit in different ways, suggest the path the band would follow before arriving at their masterpiece, AVALON. For those keeping track of these things, the cover model on this album is Jerry Hall.
"Love Is The Drug," the album's first track, ...
| | Roxy Music Flesh + Blood CD (1980) Remastered
Bride Stripped Bare
$8.99 What's remarkable about Roxy Music's final three albums is how each one builds on its predecessor. FLESH & BLOOD was the middle of this triptych (which ended with AVALON, the group's peak achievement). Where its predecessor, MANIFESTO, still had ties to the band's pre-hiatus first era, FLESH & BLOOD heads ever further into the lush romanticism that singer Bryan Ferry was to explore fully as a solo artist in the '80s. Where an earlier Roxy Music may have embraced an element of camp in a cover of "In The Midnight Hour, here Ferry nods to the camp factor only fleetingly.
Reduced to a trio of Ferry, guitarist Phil Manzanera, and saxophonist Andy MacKay, Roxy Music brought in a range of session players as needed. This, in effect, freed the band to follow the songs wherever they needed to go, which was straight into gorgeously produced romantic landscapes. The ...
| | Bryan Ferry These Foolish Things CD (1973) Remastered
Bride Stripped Bare
$9.79 All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.
Wildly controversial in its day, Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry's first solo album now seems more eccentric than groundbreaking; more one man's oddball take on an eclectic bunch of his favorite artists' songs than an ironic manifesto of a new pop order. Rock purists, of course, were outraged. How dare Ferry implicitly maintain the esthetic equivalence of Bob Dylan ("A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall," complete with gospel backup singers and thunderstorm effects), with teen angst queen Leslie Gore (an unabashedly camp version of ...
| | Bryan Ferry Another Time, Another Place CD (1974) Remastered
Bride Stripped Bare
$9.45 All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.
He's got them old foppish fin-de-siecle ennui blues again, mama. Ferry's second solo album is, rather explicitly, These Foolish Things Part Deux, at least conceptually. Once again, he covers--make that radically re-invents--a wildly eclectic bunch of songs, from "You Are My Sunshine" to Sam Cooke's "Wonderful World."
The results are still somewhat variable, given Ferry's vocal limitations, but the songs here seem more suited to his traditional mien of lounge lizard angst, and on balance ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE is probably superior to its predecessor. For example, Ferry's take on Dobie Gray's "The In Crowd" makes that song's undercurrent of aggression palpable in a far more believable way than Gray's deliberately likeable original. Other high points include a commendably unsentimental version of Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away," which works its way to a big, honking R&B finale, and a surprisingly touching ...
| | Bryan Ferry Let's Stick Together CD (1976) Remastered
Bride Stripped Bare
$9.45 All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.
Ferry's third solo album is a bit of a departure from his previous two. Here, along with the requisite eclectic batch of covers, he also includes a few of his characteristically lovelorn originals (including an ode to his obvious role model, "2HB," as in Humphrey Bogart), plus a slicked-up reworking of his Roxy Music classic "Remake Remodel." The album also rocks out far more straightforwardly than THESE FOOLISH THINGS and ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE.
Ferry tackles two straight blues songs here--Wilbert Harrison's "Let's Stick Together" and Jimmy Reed's "Shame, Shame, Shame"--and while nobody's ever going to mistake him for either singer, his camp factor here is significantly reduced. Standout track: a surprisingly powerful assault on the Everly Brothers' "Price of Love."
Recorded at Air & Island Studios, London, England, from ...
| | Bryan Ferry In Your Mind CD (1977)
Bride Stripped Bare
$15.15 Digitally remastered by Bob Ludwig (Gateway Studio, Portland, Maine).
This is by far Ferry's most conventional rock record; there's little here that connects either with his earlier revisionist solo albums, his artier stuff with early Roxy Music, or the moonlight and roses romanticism of the band's later incarnation. Lyrically, Ferry is still a flop with chicks here, but his tunes are surprisingly straightforward, the arrangements ...
