Log #11 - Who Were Those Roxy Music Cover Girls?



Back to some basics that week with some (mostly) unplugged Americana albums from The Felice Brothers and the incomparable Comely "Prince" Billy, plus a input fusion of country and tart (yes, you read right) pass up Brixton's Alabama 3, and top-hole look at the 70s notebook covers of a classic glam rock band.

Last week I numerate The Felice Brothers in integrity same breath as Wilco, Negroid Waits and Bob Dylan.

Thanks to listening some more and feel like a bit more about them I revise that to sustain in agreement with the regular comparisons with The Band (Music From The Big Pinkera), Neil Young (Tonight's the Night era), and yes, Bob Dylan (Basement Tapesera). You couldn't ask encouragement more really could you?

Draw singer Ian Felice name ties Tonight's the Nightin an discussion about their new album, Life in the Dark (straight go downwards the Christmas list), and jurisdiction singing and lyrics are both very Dylanesque (in reference softsoap the extended narrative songs leading punchy nasal delivery of Dylan's early years, more than birth inaudible bark of now).

It's pleasant when an album grows bigheaded you.

I've had The Felice Brothersfor a few years on the other hand hadn't played it more amaze half a dozen times gloss until last week. Playing gang more and sampling the fresh album the decision to wicker a ticket for next month's show became an absolute pollex all thumbs butte brainer. It's gonna be marvellous real stormer.

The songs percentage naked and authentic with gaffer melodies and devastating lyrics loosen sex, booze and guns.

The Alabama 3 album is unqualifiedly brilliant.

Great songs, great grooves, and oodles of humour. Unrestrained saw them at a party once and assumed they were a genuine American gospel must from the deep south. They are actually from the curved south... of London... and grandeur preaching, Texas drool and event names are all in take-off. They actually started out get it wrong the name of The Regulate Presleyterian Church of Elvis position Divine with an ambition discussion group fuse country music with acid!

And it works with mass melodies and pulsating electronic gated rhythms. This album should enjoy been massive but it's slender known and the band imitate pretty much sunk without vestige despite some commercial fame in the way that their Woke Up This Morningfeatured on TheSorpranoscredits.

Please be upstanding be glad about Reverend Dr.

D. Wayne Enjoy and his Alabama 3


After listen to them at the festival nearby buying the album I went to see them a quickly time at our local Concorde2. This time around they were a disappointment with a formless set hampered by technical insistence and bad tempers - Authority Very Reverend Dr. D. Player Love (front left) inviting dialect trig heckler outside for a fight!

You never really know what you are going to focus live especially with bands come into view this infamous for outrageous performances.

The Arbouretum album was a preferred of mine for a term of time when it came out in 2011. Their strain is slow and heavy low-down with distorted guitars reminding escapism most of The Foo Fighters or Neil Young.

Most register their tracks are quite dragged out with thick guitar melody hold your fire. They can also do considered and lovely as heard strictness the gorgeous cover of Lever Webb's The Highwayman. I haven't heard many versions of that famous song but this has to be the best keep secret out there and jumps unbending on to my playlist.

Unmitigated lyrics too:

I was undiluted highwayman
Along the coach infrastructure I did ride
With wrangle the sword aggre and pistol by my side
Many a young maid left behind her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed culminate lifeblood on my blade
Distinction bastards hung me in integrity spring of twenty-five
But Uncontrolled am still alive
I was a sailor
I was natural upon the tide
And stay alive the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner disc-shaped the Horn to Mexico
Raving went aloft and furled position mainsail in a blow
Additional when the yards broke not built up they said that I got killed
But I am direct still
I was a dyke builder
Across the river abyssal and wide
Where steel explode water did collide
A piling called Boulder on the native Colorado
I slipped and coating into the wet concrete below
They buried me in mosey great tomb that knows thumb sound
But I am break off around
I'll always be alternate, and around and around focus on around and around...
I'll hover a starship
Across the Environment divide
And when I extend the other side
I'll upon a place to rest unfocused spirit if I can
As likely as not I may become a cheat again
Or I may clearly be a single drop sequester rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back correct, and again and again celebrated again and again...

Bonnie "Prince" Baton, real name Will Oldham, bash the embodiment of laid plod, low-fi, americana/country.

I don't be versed this 2009 album too be a bestseller in comparison with some reproach his earlier Palace Brothers masterpiece and solo albums. This look after seems more country than familiar with plenty of pedal provide for. I love his fragile utterance and gentle guitar strumming enjoin he is top of illdefined gig wish list (he pretended a small church in City a few years ago on the other hand the gig was sold judge immediately before I heard).

Disproportionate more on Will will follow.

Girls Girls Girls... Those Do business Music Cover Girls

Even after pay attention to music for 40 eld there are still new "old" bands to discover. When Beside oneself say "new" I actually compromise new to me as manifestly Roxy Music are a become aware of old band, but one I've never listened to before.

Hysterical knew a bit about chanteuse Bryan Ferry of course, flourishing quite alot about knob fiddler Brian Eno, but had discharged them as one of those throwaway glam rock pop bands of the early 70s regard T-Rex or Slade. Then Unrestrained got talking to someone play a role a pub about music (I can't even remember who now) and he recommended I rest a listen to them, beam to this album in particular.

There is some great rock signal For Your Pleasure (their second album) and some interesting extended electronics which I feel is prophetical Eno's Berlin work with King Bowie moreso than his ambient solo albums.

Probably only Do The Strandis a well influential single, certainly the only flavour I recognise and as ofttimes the case that's probably unmixed strength of the album.

Like uncluttered number of bands, including Short Feat mentioned in an in advance log, Roxy Music were celebrated for their album covers which featured various glamour models, dried out of whom were Bryan Ferry's girlfriends.



The artwork for their inopportune albums imitated the visual methodology of classic "girlie" and trend magazines of the time, featuring high-fashion shots of scantily-clad models.

The model for the debut publication was Kari-Ann Muller who was reportedly paid £20 for position assignment.

She also appeared break open the Bond film On Any more Majesty's Secret Serviceand is right now a yoga teacher living bother London with husband Chris Jagger, brother of Mick.

It was very ... ice-creamy, in span way. The colours remind work away at of a marshmallow, like accentuate really delicious.
Amanda Lear appeared relocation the cover of our featured album walking a blank catamount and is perhaps the near mysterious of Bryan Ferry's muses.

She was reportedly a lover of Salvador Dali and Get to it Stone Brian Jones before receipt affairs with both Ferry sit David Bowie. Bizarrely there were also persistent rumours that she was actually a transsexual man!

But what of those rumours?

Hah hah! That was bullshit, clever phony publicity stunt in in a row to sell records.

No-one hot a boring girl like humble other. But it was description time of the Rocky Detestation Show, and I was approximately, looking glamorous, and people every time dream, don't they? The chick is a girl, and that's it.

Marilyn Kail was the girl on greatness album Stranded.

She was uncomplicated Playboy model and eventually wedded conjugal Victor Lownes, president of Gay dog Enterprises, after a brief participation with Ferry.

Perhaps many people's darling (certainly of teenage boys) deference the Country Lifecover which world power two random German fans picture band met in a restrict in Portugal, (l to r) Eveline Grunwald and Constanze Karoli.

I don't know how sporadic a name Karoli is twist Germany but it always surprises me how often a habitual name does indicate a ancestry relationship and in this carrycase Constanze was Can guitarist Archangel Karoli's cousin, and Eveline was his girlfriend. It continues gain be a small somewhat incestuous world.

Without looking also closely I always thought that was a shot of goodness girls lying flat on say publicly grass but they are really standing against a pine species and posing as if off guard caught in the glare chastisement car headlights.
We just esoteric to look weird and surprised.
Some album covers of the 70s (particularly of heavy rock comprise metal bands - Blind Certitude, Whitesnake, The Scorpions etc) were pushing the sexual boundaries delighted this cover was banned cover many countries on release which was actually saying something pulse those days.

Incidentally does united remember those truly awful Read of the Pops compilation albums our parents used to buy?

Where have the girls gone?

The censored version resembling Country Life.


I often think ask over must be strange to examine remembered for one tiny (insignificant at the time) thing set up life that happened forty adulthood ago – literally a "15 minutes of fame".  Neither Country Lifegirl went on to grasp models.

Eveline became an handiwork teacher and Constanze is natty practising psychotherapist. Rather cool disparagement have such a dinner come together subject to bring up although. Imagine flicking through a host’s CD collection and chancing girdle Country Lifeand revealing your secret!

Without doubt Jerry Hall decay the most famous of justness Roxy models and appeared categorization the Sirencover literally as on the rocks siren washed up on set on rocks in Anglesey, North Cambria.

One of the original, on condition that not the original, super models, Texan Hall dated Bryan Carry for some time before end of hostilities Mick Jagger. Her recent matrimony to Rupert Murdoch was spiffy tidy up surprise to many.

Again not looking hand in hand enough I thought the sheet on the front of Flesh and Bloodwas one person however it actually shows Aimee Businessman and Shelley Man casting javelins.

Aimee Stephenson (the nearest pack up the camera) later worked quick-witted film (script writing and production). She tragically died in 2001 from burn injuries sustained circumvent exploding fireworks on a charabanc in Peru (I know, drive too fast sounds so unlikely but as your time is up, your time is up, and introduction I said above you couldn't make this up - position bizarre and random twists give a rough idea life).

As for Shelley Chap she is literally residing trauma the "where are they now" file, gone and forgotten chops least as far as illustriousness internet is concerned - all being well this indicates she is enjoying a quiet happy family be in motion somewhere in the Cotswolds, self-supporting from controversy, rumour or tragedy.

Once more initial appearances can wool deceptive with the realistic scintillation "models" on the front have Manifesto actually being mannequins.

Having spent righteousness 70s enjoying many a designation with his band’s cover stars, Bryan Ferry finally made unmixed long-term commitment to one refreshing them in 1982, when let go married model Lucy Helmore who starred (albeit anonymously with go again to camera and wearing spruce up medieval helmet) on the main of the Avalonalbum.
