Singer Bryan Ferry, former leader of art-pop band Roxy Music, will launch
a North American solo tour Nov. 2 in support of his just-released album,
As Time Goes By. On tour, Ferry will focus on the vintage standards that make up his
On As Time Goes By, released Tuesday (Oct. 19), Ferry applies his characteristically dramatic vocals to such vintage songs as "I'm in the Mood for Love" (RealAudio excerpt) and "Falling in Love Again" (RealAudio excerpt). Ferry — who began his solo career with 1973's These Foolish Things, another all-covers album — last released Mamouna (1994). The influential Roxy Music, whose sound moved from glam-rock to glossy synth-pop during the '70s, broke up and reunited several times before releasing their final studio album, Avalon, in 1982. The band, always more popular in Europe than in the U.S., found chart success with such hits as "Love Is the Drug" (1975) and "Dance Away" (1979). Roxy Music's lineup initially included Brian Eno, who went on to become an ambient-music pioneer and an acclaimed producer for such bands as U2, but he left the band early on. During the Geneva segment of the Oct. 9 NetAid concerts, Bryan Ferry played before an invitation-only audience that included such luminaries as actor Michael Douglas and United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan.
