Bryan Ferry: In Your Mind

Bryan Ferry: In Your Mind.  Another great "solo" effort record by the inimitable British crooner.  Solo is the wrong word here, as Ferry assembles a terrific cast to play with: Paul Thompson, John Wetton, Chris Spedding, and my favorite percussionist - Ray Cooper, among many others.  The back cover reveals much information.  It was recorded at "Air Studios in London, 1976/7."   Love Me Madly Again, the last song on side one, comes in at a whopping 7:25.  Most of Ferry's other solo records (which I highly recommend) are assemblages of covered material, but In Your Mind is all original material.  I am not sure if Roxy Music was on hiatus in 76/77 - but I looked and saw that they may have been since Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera came out with his fantastic and first solo record Diamond Head in 1975.  Boy - would I love that on vinyl.  Many of the same musicians play on both records, not surprisingly.
