Complete your Roxy Music collection. Country Life is Brian Ferry’s Dolce Vita, a man about town steeped in character, a man steeped in self-absorption with his own music playing softly in the background as he conversationally says to himself of course, Ah, more champagne to lose this pain would be very nice, So I’ll help myself to one more drink and I’ll find myself.
Continuing with the stylistic developments of Stranded, Country Life finds Roxy Music at the peak of their powers, alternating between majestic, unsettling art rock and glamorous, elegant pop/rock.

Country Life' also captures the final showing of the early Roxy style, . before funk and soul elements seeped into the mix more and more until the group gradually became a vehicle for front-man Ferry’s seductive crooner persona to run wild with romantic glimmer and enticing, silky soft rock tunes (something that would become fully realised with Roxy‘s final. More people need to hear some Roxy Music. Out of the Blue is a classic. Casanova is also a pure bliss.
