Bryan Ferry As Time Goes By (Limited)

3.5 stars out of 5 - "...ferry's voice has aged handsomely as the rest of him, with a rough, smoky edge making his instrument more intimate than ever....a painfully erotic meditation on age, memory and staying power..."
6 out of 10 - "...covering the classic standards of cabaret....he's so purist, so '30s....His covers are smooth and warmhearted, making this album...pleasant..."
"...his elegant restraint works wonders on the material ['30s standards], and the minimal arrangements are lovely..." - Rating: B
3 stars out of 5 - "...there is a reflective, jazz-swing mood to these tracks....Ferry always was a theatrical crooner, and here he is in his element. What could have been an exercise in whimsy comes over instead as subtle and full of emotion."
"...a slope through the 1930s....Bryan gets into character as some kind of Hungarian-born Cockney, a weird amalgam of Anthony Newley and Zsa Zsa Gabor..."
