Bryan Ferry - Virginia Plain

Brian Ferry the icon comes to my hometown (Stockholm) on the 30th of May.

I remember the first time I heard him and his Roxy Music I was amazed over his cool voice, the tune was Virginia Plain. This is also todays tune.
I will give u a newer tune from his latest album that came out 2010 named Olympia.



This album has its own history...
In March 2005, it was announced on Phil Manzanera's official site that the band, including Brian Eno, had decided to record an album of new material. The project would mark the first time Eno worked with Roxy Music since 1973's For Your Pleasure. After a number of denials that he would be involved with any Roxy Music reunion, on 19 May 2006 Eno revealed that he had contributed two songs to the new album as well as playing keyboards on other tracks. He did, however, rule out touring with the band. Had the record been released as a Roxy Music album, it would have been the first album since Manifesto on which original drummer Paul Thompson performs. The album has, however, been released as a Bryan Ferry solo album entitled Olympia.



1983 His Roxy Music dissolved and then Ferry, Manzanera, Mackay, and Thompson re-formed in 2001 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the band and toured extensively. A festival performance in Portugal and a short tour of the United States followed in 2003. Absent was Brian Eno, who criticised the motives of the band's reunion, saying, "I just don't like the idea. It leaves a bad taste". Later Eno remarked that his comment had been taken out of context. Manzanera and Thompson recorded and toured with Ferry on his 2002 album Frantic.
Eno also contributed to Frantic on the track "I Thought".



He is on tour in Scandinavia then it goes to UK and Irland.

These are the artists Brian have in on this tour:
