Release Date: 19-10-1999

Details: From Amazon No stranger to covers, Bryan Ferry has often opted for classics from other times and places. As Time Goes By focuses on music largely from the 1930s and 40s and conjures that era's aura of fine cigars, satin gowns and gentlemanly romance. The opening title track summons images of Bogie and Ingrid and is one of the finest moments in the collection. The swanky versions of Nina Simone's signature "Love Me or Leave Me" and "I'm in the Mood for Love" (which has a faint Martin Denny overtone) are perfectly suited to Ferry's low-key vocals (he's no real crooner, let's face it). His talented band swings with fervour, especially on the upbeat tunes "The Way You Look Tonight", "Lover Come Back to Me" and "Just One of Those Things". There are a number of intimate, romantic moments, but the highlight is Ferry's take on "Falling in Love Again", first made famous way back when with devastating sadness by Marlene Dietrich. Ferry's version is almost as moving. --Lorry Fleming Product Description From his days with Roxy Music in the '70s and '80s to his solo work throughout the '90s, Bryan Ferry has brought suave sophistication to pop music. As Time Goes By contains 15 classic standards written by unforgettable composers on the order of Cole Porter and Rogers & Hart. As Time Goes By will be serviced to AAA radio; a video for "As Time Goes By," taken from a U.K. TV special, will be serviced to VH1 and regional video shows.
