"Bryan Ferry keeps life in Roxy Music
On Tuesday evening, Roxy Music's legendary frontman Bryan Ferry to Lisebergshallen.
- It's always special to visit Sweden, he says.
Bryan Ferry's recent concert in Esbjerg, Randers and Copenhagen has largely been longer versions of the acclaimed gig he did in Norwegian Øyafestivalen last summer.
Ferry has started all his concerts with old Re-make / Re-model, the opening track from Roxy Music's debut album, and then interspersed classics from the 70's / 80's - Love Is The Drug, Slave to Love, Avalon, Jealous Guy - with new songs from his yet unreleased album Avonmore.
Is there a Roxy song that you're tired of singing?
- No, not directly. My backing band has brought much youthful enthusiasm. They love to play songs from my early career, and they are very versatile musicians so it can handle the splendidly. Last year I toured with another band (as Bryan Ferry was working on the album The Jazz Age) and then we presented catalog in a completely different way.
Bryan Ferry is thus on a huge European tour and the idea was that we would meet with the singer for a personal interview when he came to Gothenburg. But the plans were changed. Bryan Ferry, 69, realized that needed to rest for tonight's concert at Lisebergshallen. However, he would be happy to answer any questions via email, explained Ferrys Swedish press contact.
How would you describe your new album?
- Avonmore is largely a song based album with eight new songs and a few covers. One of the new songs I wrote together with Johnny Marr, who plays guitar on the plate along with Nile Rodgers. The two cover songs is Send in the Clowns by Stephen Sondheim and Robert Palmer Johnny & Mary, which I did together with Todd Terje.
How is it that you are working with Norwegian DJ and producer Todd Terje?
- It's always interesting to work with talent from different genres, especially from dance and elektronikavärlden. My son Isaac introduced me to Todd Terje, who began by remixing Love is the drug and do not stop the dance. After that we made Johnny & Mary together we performed together on Øyafestivalen in Oslo. Todd is an extraordinarily talented musicians.
You've made albums with Bob Dylan cover songs, with pop from the 30s and with jazz versions of your own songs, what can we expect in the future?
- There are many ways to discover in music and I enjoy my wide taste. It has always been an adventure for me to follow new musical paths, both with Roxy Music and as a solo artist. In the future I think I'd like to do more abstract music.
You play in Gothenburg tonight, Tuesday, do you remember anything in particular from previous gigs in Sweden?
- It is special to visit Sweden and perform in front of a Swedish audience. This year we have already toured the US and played at festivals such as Coachella, Glastonbury and Oya. We now look forward to taking our show to Sweden.
How do you spend your time when you do not behave or repaired?
- I tour often, sometimes around 100 gigs a year, and usually do not have much time left.
Where do you live now?
- I still have my country house in West Sussex, but when I'm not on tour, I'm usually in London and working in my studio.
