Roxy Music - Country Life

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON ISLAND 1974

Island 9101 638 made in Franc.

Vinyl EX. Cover EX.

From the idiosyncratic art rock of their self-titled debut to the seductive pop of albums like AVALON, Roxy Music covered a lot of ground, but COUNTRY LIFE, which falls somewhere in between, synthesizes all of their strengths. Singer Bryan Ferry's vision of sophisticated, "gentleman" rock emerges on this release, yet the strident, driving quality crucial to the band's early sound still looms large. The combination of textures is exhilarating, and the songwriting--which draws on elements of R&B, cabaret music, and glam rock--is among the band's best. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roxy_Music
