Product Information

On 'Taxi', Ferry features songs largely from the pre-Beatles era of pop - a great, deeplly melancholic take on Elvis Presley's 'Girl of My Best Friend', a lovelorn 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow', and a spooky take on Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 'I Put A Spell On You'.

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.

Originally released in 1993, the album sees Ferry continue in his rich vein of sophisticated and contemporary cover versions of classic rock, pop and soul songs, forging his reputation as the greatest living interpreter of the popular song. He also revisits one of his biggest influence - The Velvet Underground - with a version of 'All Tomorrow's Parties', from their first album. 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. 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.Bryan Ferry’s eighth solo studio album Taxi is being repressed and made available for the first time on limited edition yellow vinyl. 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.

Recue Me' is cool, and I find his almost robotic take on the hymnal 'Amazing Grace' utterly mesmerising. 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. 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. When Ferry was asked about the album, he said "Since I started work on the Taxi album, everything has gone great for me.We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases. 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.
