      Dies ist die Geschichte eines Arbeiterjungen aus Nordengland, der zu einem der bekanntesten britischen Popstars wurde. Am 26. September 2005 feierte Bryan Ferry seinen sechzigsten Geburtstag. Roxy Music, die Gruppe um Ferry, hat die Rockmusik nachhaltig beeinflusst. Mit ihren schrillen Kostümen und einer radikalen, exzentrischen Musik traten sie in den Siebzigern auf und schufen einen einzigartigen Sound, der bis heute frisch wirkt. Ferrys brüchige Stimme, Brian Enos Synthesizereffekte, Andy Mackays quietschendes Saxophon und Phil Manzaneras klare Gitarre prägten ihren Stil. Diese Kombination inspirierte in den Achtzigern zahlreiche Musiker, von Punkern wie Siouxsie And The Banshees bis hin zu Songschreibern wie Elvis Costello und Morrissey sowie Gruppen wie Duran Duran. Trotz ihres Kultstatus blieben Roxy Music und Bryan Ferry in den letzten dreißig Jahren relativ unbeachtet, ohne Hall of Fame-Einträge oder bedeutende Auszeichnungen. David Buckleys Buch widmet sich nun dieser lebenden Legende und seinen Mitstreitern und setzt ihnen ein längst überfälliges Denkmal. Mit wissenschaftlichem Detailwissen und flüssiger Erzählweise bietet Buckley fundierte Einblicke in die Entwicklung des Künstlers und der Gruppe. Gespräche mit Ferry, Bandmitgliedern, Freunden und Produzenten runden die Analysen ab und machen das Werk zu einem spannenden Lesestoff.
