Bryan Ferry - Avonmore

Review by Dan Lucas

Avonmore sounds so quintessentially Eighties, so quintessentially Ferry, that it’s better to compare it to the rest of his oeuvre than to any contemporary releases»

'Avonmore' is the new studio album from Bryan Ferry. After his beguiling detour into 'The Jazz Age' Ferry returns to the present day with a compelling collection of eight brand new compositions and two intriguing covers. Johnny Marr, Nile Rodgers and Marcus Miller feature throughout the album, together with a shifting cast including Flea, Ronnie Spector, Mark Knopfler and Maceo Parker. From the darkly driven title track through to the contemplative 'Soldier Of Fortune', from the swirling groove of 'One Night Stand' to the dreamlike first single 'Loop De Li', 'Avonmore' is both contemporary and classic.
