Best of Bryan This is my favorite solo album by Bryan Ferry. I have all the solo Bryan Ferry CDs and all the Roxy Music CDs. I don't know why it's been overlooked among fans, but there are many wonderful songs, including Tokyo Joe, This Is Tomorrow Calling (Wishing You Were Here), and Love Me Madly Again, a song which easily tops any song on any of the other albums.
Love Bryan Ferry, Hate this CD
Wow, I really enjoy Bryan Ferry, but I found this collection of music to be grating and sloppy. . dull ideas. . . Others are encouraged to apply. . . it is interesting to discuss our differences.
A minor entry
"Tokyo Joe" and (especially) "Party Doll" are obvious standouts; the female backup vocals and horns are a great touch; and Ferry delivers fine performances. Ferry's first solo album of original material is a bit of a disappointment, but it does leave you with the gratifying feeling that he saved his best work for Roxy. Unfortunately, much of the writing sounds weak and hurried, and Ferry's vocals are too often smothered by the band's overly heavy Rock accompaniment.
Bryan Ferry's Best Solo Album
It is very different from the stuff he did with Roxy Music or the approach he took on other solo albums. This is a fantastic R'n'B influenced album by Bryan Ferry, featuring some of his best song writing and great playing from various session musicians. It is a hidden gem in Bryan's oeuvre. I bought this album when it first came out on vinyl, in 1977 when I was a mere 14, and I have played it to death. Now, I gotta get the CD, because it's worn out! It's really timeless. You can't go wrong if you buy this one. You'll be dancing from the first track, "This Is Tomorrow. ".
One of the best recordings ever!
The album features a couple Roxy alumna, Spedding & Manzanara. This is one of the best record albums ever! There isn't a clunker in the bunch! I heard what turned out to be "Love Me Madly Again" years ago on an old FM station in DC; I knew the voice was Bryan Ferry but had no idea what the song was called! I could only guess the title. It's hard to believe that this album was originally recorded in 1976! It's really fresh & vibrant stuff, & some of the guitar work here will send chills up your spine!.
