Customer Reviews of Country Life
Great Roxy Music classic Roxy Music's fourth album Country Life was released in November of 1974. The album was produced by the band and recorded at AIR Studios in London in July and August of 1974. Country Life has the band playing well and their sound moving towards the sound they would perfect on their next album, 1975's Siren(that album would also feature the same lineup as on this album). Country Life has alot of great songs like the 6 minute plus opening The Thrill of it All with frontman Bryan Ferry's vocals kicking ass. Out of the Blue is a great song and has a stellar Edwin Jobson violin solo and this track I first heard on the 1990 live album Heart Still Beating. The 50s-ish sounding If It Takes All Night is another standout as is the closing track Prairie Rose which is an awesome song. Phil Manzanera's guitar work was incredible as always and this was the album before their arguable masterpiece Siren. Highly recommended!
Roxy's Tour de Force
For my money the finest period in the stellar career of Roxy Music is the middle one, sandwiched between their Eno-infused art rock origins and the more pop-oriented later years. This era began with the brilliant, brooding masterpiece Stranded and concluded with the catchy though uneven Siren. Between them lay the band's classic rocker Country Life. Probably best known for its controversial album cover, Country Life nevertheless delivers a steady stream of unabashed rock 'n roll that represents the band's musical virtuosity at its finest. Phil Manzanera's hot guitar licks and Bryan Ferry's cool crooning perfectly offset one another while Andy Mackay's chunky riffs on oboe and sax, Eddie Jobson's stylish keyboards and Paul Thompson's steady thumping keep the tempo offbeat in typical Roxy fashion.
From the opening soaring strains of "The Thrill of it All", Country Life sets off with a soaring energy the band rarely displayed before or after this release. Even when the pace slows, as it does for the hypnotic "Bitter-Sweet", you can cut the group's creative tension with a knife. Country Life is not merely for the highbrow art-rock set, either. I've turned folks who wouldn't know the Velvet Underground from Velveeta onto this record, and it's due mostly to the hard-driving rock standards such as "Out of the Blue", "All I Want is You" and "If It Takes All Night". One for the ages.
