Biography

There is a racing intensity to Bryan Ferry's interpretations of the
songs of Bob Dylan. Just as his legendary version of "A Hard Rain's
A-Gonna Fall", recorded back in 1973, exchanged apocalyptic vision for
exuberant swagger, so at the heart of these new recordings lies
Ferry's brilliance in paying homage to the original song and
reinventing it as entirely ... Read more in Amazon's Bryan Ferry Store

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

No stranger to covers, Bryan Ferry has often opted for classics from other times and places. As Time Goes By focuses on music largely from the 1930s and 40s and conjures that era's aura of fine cigars, satin gowns and gentlemanly romance. The opening title track summons images of Bogie and Ingrid and is one of the finest moments in the collection. The swanky versions of Nina Simone's signature "Love Me or Leave Me" and "I'm in the Mood for Love" (which has a faint Martin Denny overtone) are perfectly suited to Ferry's low-key vocals (he's no real crooner, let's face it). His talented band swings with fervour, especially on the upbeat tunes "The Way You Look Tonight", "Lover Come Back to Me" and "Just One of Those Things". There are a number of intimate, romantic moments, but the highlight is Ferry's take on "Falling in Love Again", first made famous way back when with devastating sadness by Marlene Dietrich. Ferry's version is almost as moving. --Lorry Fleming

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb arrangements 13 Feb 2004
By David B VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that these songs, and others of their ilk, have an important place in the history of western music. I am sure that these tunes will be hummed and played long after most of Benjamin Britten's entire output is forgotten.

It may have been the attitude of British musicologists of a few decades ago to sneer at this repertoire (Porter, Weill, Rogers & Hammerstein et al) - see The Shorter Oxford Dictionary of Music in the 1960s. But, folks, they were WRONG.

The arrangements on this disc are stunningly good. Varied, musical, interesting, appropriate, and beautifully played. (And see previous reviewer's comment on Ondes Martenot!) The team behind these arrangements are to be heartily congratulated for being fully in sympathy with the original composers.

Bryan Ferry's voice is not perhaps what you would call lyric Baritone. Yet he performs these classics in a manner that is entirely listenable and appropriate, and nicely balanced with the ensemble. Everything is beautifully under control.

It is a delight to hear this repertoire receiving such sympathetic and high-quality treatment from a contemporary artist.

Buy it, and play it continually.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arguably my favourite CD of all time! 9 Dec 2000
By Reebs
Format:Audio CD
This is an absolutely stunning album. Each track is beautifully produced and extremely evocative of a bygone age while still retaining a very modern appeal. I am a Bryan Ferry fan of course but I am sure that very few people could listen to this album without falling under its spell. The musical arrangements are quite brilliant and absolutely spot on for every track. Bryan Ferry's voice is perfect for all these songs and together with the quite superb backing combines to make this album one of the all time greats. Tremendously well chosen songs - all outstandingly well interpreted. My very favourite has to be"Where or when" but this version of "Falling in Love Again" is a real classic. Five stars - I would give it many more!

5.0 out of 5 stars extremely fine 26 Nov 2001
Format:Audio CD
I cannot recommend this too strongly. These songs suit Brian Ferry's idiosyncratic voice down to the ground, he displays a genuine love of the music and sings the tunes with style and sensitivity: I defy anyone to find a more poignant "Miss Otis Regrets". Equally rewarding are the original (when was the last time you heard an Ondes Martinot?) and beautifully considered arrangements and the truly wonderful playing of the band. A gem.

This is a truly beautiful album-these are well chosen songs sung by an absolute legend and his voice does them justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a trend setter, many have copied since. Most failed?
Well what can you say about Mr Ferry? Been a bit of a trend setter since the first Roxy album. I have long been a closet 'swing' fan and love that big band 30's/40's sound. Read more

Love this kind of music and Bryan Ferry makes excellent renditions of each tune. His 80s/90s music was always good, but with these type of tunes it shows just what a lovely voice... Read more

This is a nice CD but not as good as Brian's Jazz CD but enjoyable none the less good back ground music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tunes
I bought it more for the tunes than the singer, however, it is fair to say that he really does them justice. I have no idea what else of his I might find to listen to.
