Description
“Country Life” is the fourth studio album by English art rock band Roxy Music, released in 1974. The album is considered by many critics to be among the band’s most sophisticated and consistent.
This deluxe 180g double vinyl release was remastered and from the original 1/4″ tapes cut half speed at Abbey Road Studios, London by Miles Showell.
“Continuing with the stylistic developments of Stranded, “Country Life” finds Roxy Music at the peak of their powers, alternating between majestic, unsettling art rock and glamorous, elegant pop/rock.
At their best, Roxy combine these two extremes, like on the exhilarating opener “The Thrill of It All,” but “Country Life” benefits considerably from the ebb and flow of the group’s two extremes, since it showcases their deft instrumental execution and their textured, enthralling songwriting. And, in many ways, “Country Life” offers the greatest and most consistent set of Roxy Music songs, illustrating their startling depth. From the sleek rock of “All I Want Is You” and “Prairie Rose” to the elegant, string-laced pop of “A Really Good Time,” “Country Life” is filled with thrilling songs, and Roxy Music rarely sounded as invigorating as they do here.” – All Music
