I would've loved to have heard the finished recording of "Move Closer" originally due to be included on the deluxe but it was taken off because Bryan wasn't happy with it.

Good to see that a fan has captured the final song on the final night of the USA tour at the Greek Theatre in LA. A bit special too in that it has both Ollie and his replacement (after he burst a finger a few days before) Jeff Thall, who played lead guitar on the Bete Noire tour - on stage together. Ollie came on for Hold On I'm Coming. You might also spot Fonzi Thronton & Michelle Cobbs on backing vocals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxkEwufH ... re=related Robert. |

Nice to see the videos from the US. I've always liked Bryan's interpretation of "Hold On ..." and would love to see him visit more of the Stax/Motown classics and sprinkle a little Ferry dust on them. He cut his teeth on soul when he was with The Gas Board in the early '60s and it's clearly stayed in his blood - I love this stuff and it would be fabulous to see him do a concept album dedicated to the genre. Maybe with some duets? Personally, I'd love to see him cut "Private Number" with Paloma Faith - that would be interesting. Any other ideas for a dream list? Regards, Windswept. |

I personally don't think his voice suits the Stax/Motown upbeat stuff. Although he's pretty good on the slower stuff! |

I would like to hear a Roxy Music interpretation of (Ain´t no love) In the heart of the city by Bobby Bland. |

Peter I wrote: I would like to hear a Roxy Music interpretation of (Ain´t no love) In the heart of the city by Bobby Bland. This would be a great choice. It would be great if he attacked the genre as a concept project like "ATGB" & Dylanesque. I think this works best because it allows him to become completely focused, select the best musicians for that particular style of music and the appropriate producer. When I think about how fabulous "ATGB" was and is and how it whisks us back to the '30s/'40s, I get massively excited by the idea of Ferry dust being sprinkled on those Stax Volt classics. Also, there are a some great female singers that I would like to see him work with. Although the cuts with Jane Birkin & Anthony were'nt perhaps his best work, they showed how well he can duet and the thought of him doing a couple of the Marvin Gaye /Ross classics with Palamo Faith sends shivers down my spine ( her "Lola" duet with Ray Davies is fantastic). We can continue to dream. Regards, Windswept |
