"I will always be indebted to a lady who brought this CD into work around 1990 and told me to "give it a spin. I think you'll like this guy's sound."



I have been a big "Bete Noir" and Bryan Ferry fan ever since.



No matter how many times I hear the songs on this disc, I never get tired of them. This guy's music was different, and fascinating to me, then and now almost 20 years later.



As the years have passed and Ferry has deleved into very old standards, Bob Dylan tunes, etc., I still wish he'd stick with the kind of songs he made here and with albums just prior to this, like "Boys and Girls."



These are original, haunting ballads with a beat, if that makes any sense. They are still unique to me, and great stuff. You cannot go wrong with this CD, or the above-mentioned "Boys and Girls." It is Bryan Ferry at his best."
