Product Description
Bryan Ferry has collaborated with musicians including Johnny Marr and Nile Rodgers on new solo album 'Avonmore'.

The album will be released on November 10 and also includes a reworked version of 'Johnny & Mary', as heard on Todd Terje's 'It's Album Time' earlier this year. The album was produced by Bryan Ferry and Rhett Davies and mixed by Craig Silvey (The Horrors, Arcade Fire, The National).

In addition to Marr and Rodgers, who are billed as appearing "throughout" the album, 'Avonmore' has contributions from Flea, Ronnie Spector, Mark Knopfler and Maceo Parker. As well as the cover of ‘Johnny & Mary’, originally by Robert Palmer, the album includes a cover of the classic Stephen Sondheim-penned 'Send In The Clowns'.

2. Midnight Train
3. Soldier Of Fortune
4. Driving Me Wild
5. A Special Kind Of Guy
6. Avonmore
7. Lost
8. One Night Stand
9. Send In The Clowns
10. Johnny & Mary

We heard 2 tracks from the new album at the show the other night (Loop Di Li and Johnny & Mary) and they sounded fine.

i love this track (classic "ferry"), and the video is sublime.
or rather, the track is sublime and the video is lovely - i'm unsure.
either way, i hope the remainder of the collection is as memorable.

Interesting use of an earlier photo of Ferry and the same font used on the cover of Avalon.

Wish it was a SACD or DVDA 5.1 release right off the bat.

I understand this is somewhat back to his dance music, true?

yes rick, it is.
it sounds like the next logical step after Mamouna.
although i thought that Olympia had a few gems, it was an overall failure, in my opinion.

Been listening to the album in the car and it's really growing on me.....a solid Ferry release. "Johnny & Mary" Is particularly hypnotic and oh so moody.....love it. Other highlights are Loop De Li, Driving Me Wild and One Night Stand. Not a clunker among the 10 selections.

i couldn't agree more, JohnG.
i'm a long-time BF fan and feel this is one of his best.
and i base that on my inclination to listen to it over and over.

and if you're any kind of Robert Palmer fan,
then you owe yourself the favor of attaining one of the most original and respectful covers of "Johnny & Mary" -
hauntingly memorable.
