Title: Be forewarned!
Product review: If you were expecting a "Taxi"-style reworking of these old classics, then stay away from this pointless album. Is this all that somebody with Bryan Ferry's talent could come up with in three years?? The music is a straight (meaning it sounds just like your parents' old jazz albums minus the pops and scratches) reworking of old songs that were done many times before by people better than Mr. Ferry. Really, I'd rather hear Mel Torme or Tony Bennett than the sadly misplaced Ferry on these songs. Where the hell is the follow-up to the brilliant "Bete Noire" or even "Mamouna"? Hopefully this was just a momentary lapse and he'll return to write an album on a par with Roxy's "Avalon" very soon.
