I am a die hard fan of Bryan Ferry's work - but lately his work has disappointed me. I thought his last covers album was so-so. It would have been much better in my opinion if he 'Roxy Music-ized' the material (all great standards) but instead sort of did a conservative view of the songs. So naturally I didn't have high hopes for his new album 'Frantic.' Well I do have it and I think it's a fantastic album. Strong songs, strong arrangements...It reminds me why I love his work. So a weak album (times goes by) by a great artist, and a great comeback album after a decade of so-so work. -- Tosh Berman TamTam Books http://www.tamtambooks.com
