As ‘Taxi’ nears its 30th anniversary in March 2023 we are reminded of Bryan Ferry’s long tradition of reimagining songs from across the history of music, free from the bounds of genre and time. Taxi’ was produced by Bryan Ferry and British guitarist, Robin Trower, and features a cast of formidable supporting musicians including Nathan East, Steve Ferrone and the singer Carleen Anderson. On 'Taxi', Ferry features songs largely from the pre-Beatles era of pop - a great, deeplly melancholic take on Elvis Presley's 'Girl of My Best Friend', a lovelorn 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow', and a spooky take on Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 'I Put A Spell On You'.

Bryan Ferry’s eighth solo studio album ‘Taxi’ is being re-issued for the very first time since its initial release in March 1993. The first 3 cuts are killer and there's only one let up, for me, on the entire CD and that's the title song-which is still excellent but in comparison to the other tracks, it's the my least favorite.Whenthe album was originally released, in the early nineties, I played it a couple of times, and filed it, without it making a great impression on me. The ‘Taxi’ album features his refined, inspired interpretations of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ ‘I Put A Spell On You’, Goffin and King’s ‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow’ and Lou Reed’s ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties’. No rights societies appear on the artwork of this UK manufactured version unlike several similar European versions. He also revisits one of his biggest influence - The Velvet Underground - with a version of 'All Tomorrow's Parties', from their first album. A patron funded not for profit record label, we are an ethics first business who believe in gender equality and fair pay for all.

Recue Me' is cool, and I find his almost robotic take on the hymnal 'Amazing Grace' utterly mesmerising. We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases. The album will be available from November 25th 2022 on limited edition yellow vinyl, and on CD in a limited edition Japanese-style oversized card sleeve, with new artwork overseen by Bryan.Select "Album" in the "Tipo" field, type "Bryan Ferry" in the "Artista" field, type "Taxi" in the "Titolo" field and press "cerca". Bryan Ferry is an artist who, by his own admission, suffers frequent crises of confidence in his own music, and has junked whole albums that he feels do not meet his exacting standards. But that's okay, since Ferry appears to be aiming for something else: beautifully eerie mood music for the lovesick vampire in us all.
