This is a version of a Bob Dylan song that Bryan Ferry recorded for his solo album ‘These Foolish Things’ in 1973 and although I’m not a massive fan of Dylan I do like this song and I particularly like Bryan Ferry’s version. I first came across this watching ‘The Tube’ when Jools Holland was interviewing Bryan Ferry in the 1980s and as part of the item a number of the songs from Bryan’s solo albums were intercut into the piece and along with ‘These Foolish Things’, which is another song I adore, this one was included.
I have always enjoyed ‘Roxy Music’ and ‘Bryan Ferry’ and there is sophistication to Bryan’s music that I love. His first solo album was a collection of his favourite songs and included other numbers by Smokey Robinson as well as The Beatles but this is my favourite song from that album and every time I mention that I am listening to it I always get plenty of comments telling me how much my friends like it too.
Hope you enjoy it….
