collisionwork: (mystery man)
Recently, Bryan Ferry recorded an album of Bob Dylan covers, Dylanesque. I hadn't heard any of it until I came across this nice video (fan-made, I would gather; it doesn't look official) for his rendition of "Positively 4th Street:"


But this is not the first time Ferry has turned his talents to the songs of Dylan, and the above made me think of my all-time favorite Ferry track. Here then, the opening track from his 1973 album of "standards," These Foolish Things, unfortunately cut by two minutes as a "single" version, his classic rendition of "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall:"



And, now off the Dylan path, here's the last track from that album, the title track, as performed in 1974 by Mr. Ferry on a variety show (possibly Cilla Black's):



Oh, what the heck, I was going to post some old live Roxy Music, too, but why not end with another Ferry cover of a rock classic, here in a video featuring Ferry and Anna Nicole Smith:
