Taxi

Product Information

Bryan Ferry’s eighth solo studio album Taxi is being repressed and made available for the first time on limited edition yellow vinyl. Rob Sheffield wrote in his three-star review of the album that " Taxi is a consistently inspired set that ranges from 'Amazing Grace' to 'All Tomorrow's Parties. 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. 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 is the eighth solo studio album by English singer Bryan Ferry, released in March 1993 by Virgin Records, over five years after the late 1987 release of his previous album Bête Noire. 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.

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.

It was first released in Japan on 10 March, before being released in the UK on 22 March and then in the US in April. Reviewing for AllMusic, critic Ned Raggett wrote of the album: " Taxi shows a mature Bryan Ferry, suave and controlled, very much in line with his general career from 1979 on .

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. 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. But that's okay, since Ferry appears to be aiming for something else: beautifully eerie mood music for the lovesick vampire in us all. I'm a huge Ferry fan but kinda stopped listening at just about the time this album came out-anyway, I've been going back and getting familiar with these later records and I gotta say, this one is right up there with his best. 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’.

The sound is clearer and has more power from the first time it was put out , also if you love OLYMPIA you will love playing this CD . The unlikely pairing of Ferry and bluesy guitarist Robin Trower works particularly well, the sound is full and atmospheric, and Ferry is in fine voice throughout. No rights societies appear on the artwork of this UK manufactured version unlike several similar European versions. When Ferry was asked about the album, he said "Since I started work on the Taxi album, everything has gone great for me. He also revisits one of his biggest influence - The Velvet Underground - with a version of 'All Tomorrow's Parties', from their first album.Finishing something I liked and getting back into singing again, getting away from my own writing temporarily was a good thing. 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.
