Bryan Ferry Announces Retrospective Box Set Including First New Original Song In A Decade
In recent years, Bryan Ferry has released a lot of covers, as well as reimaginings of his own music. He hasn’t released any new original songs since his 2014 album Avonmore, but that’s about to change. The 81-track Retrospective box set will include the new song “Star,” a collaboration with the Glasgow musician Amelia Barratt.
Retrospective will also include a lot of cover songs, since those have long been a staple of Ferry’s solo career. The first single from Ferry’s first solo album, 1973’s These Foolish Things, was an arch take on Bob Dylan’s “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall,” and Ferry has covered Dylan plenty of times over the years. Along with the Retrospective announcement, Ferry has shared a newly recorded Dylan cover, his luxe take on Dylan’s playful 1965 classic “She Belongs To Me.” Below, listen to Ferry’s cover and Dylan’s original.
