Pick of the
Week
“You are Like a
Hurricane” by Roxy Music (1983)
I thought, and I still do think that Bryan Ferry is a bit
of an odd cat. In fact when I first heard Roxy Music I thought it was odd. It
does grow on you though. I remember chillin’ to “Avalon” with the T-bar off on
my ’82 Capri. Ahhh...how times have changed.
The four track EP’ “The High Road” recorded in 1982 in Glasgow
was released in 1983 and I remember playing it all summer that year. It was one
of those albums I made any friend that came over listen to. The haunting “Jealous
Guy” (John Lennon) and “Like a Hurricane” (Neil Young) were brilliantly
interpreted by Ferry who was on the brink of breaking up Roxy Music for the
second time. None of the recordings from this album have ever been released on
CD to this day. Terrible shame really.
