These Foolish Things

Bryan Ferry

1973
Island Records

Bryan Ferry taking an explicitly solo turn while Roxy Music was still very much in its first flush of existence was fairly notable in a business where that’s not the norm. However, Ferry helped make the distinction clear, at least at the start, by only delivering covers on his initial releases instead of original songs. As such, These Foolish Things is a remarkable statement of purpose, remaking a wide range of 1960s soul, folk and rock and roll classics for a new decade in his own vivid, sometimes distinctly different style.
