The Greatest Music
Country Life
by Roxy Music
The 1270th greatest album of all time
Country Life is the fourth studio album by Roxy Music, released in 1974. It blends art rock, glam rock, and pop rock with a more muscular, guitar-forward sound alongside Bryan Ferry's stylish vocals and literate lyrics. The arrangements combine glossy keyboards, saxophone and layered harmonies to create songs that balance sophistication and raw energy. The record is also notable for its bold, sexually suggestive sleeve that attracted controversy and for consolidating the band's move toward tighter, rock-oriented songwriting.
