Country Life, released in 1974, is the fourth album by British Glam Rock band Roxy Music. A continuation of the straightforward glam sound of Stranded, the album sees the band lean further into that album's mix of artsy flair, mainstream accessibility, and leftfield esoteric influences. Fittingly, the album sports a wide range of sounds from the Ray Davies-inspired whimsy of "Three and Nine" to the Elizabethan "Tryptich" to the bombastic country rocker "Prairie Rose", all kept together by the suave glam sound that had already become the band's trademark.The album is best known for its original cover art, featuring German models Constanze Karoli and Eveline Grunwald (the sister and girlfriend of Can's Michael Karoli respectively) posing against an evergreen bushel in nothing but translucent lingerie. The idea to use that for the cover wasn't particularly unusual for Roxy Music, given their longstanding practice of designing their album covers to look like fashion magazines, but it caused enough of a row among American distributors for the album to be sold in the US packaged in a green outer nylon bag obscuring the album art.The band later settled on reusing the back photo, which depicted just the bushel, as the front cover on a later American release, which author Michael Ochs described as "most complete cover-up in rock history," though Roxy Music would successfully get the UK cover reinstated worldwide in time for its first CD releases. A year after the release of Country Life, Pink Floyd would choose to package Wish You Were Here (1975) in a similar black nylon outer bag as a deliberate nod to the first American release of Roxy Music's album.Country Life was supported by three singles "Out of the Blue", "All I Want Is You", and "The Thrill of It All".Tracklist:Side A "The Thrill of It All" (6:24) "Three and Nine" (4:04) "All I Want Is You" (2:53) "Out of the Blue" (4:46) "If It Takes All Night" (3:12)Side B "Bitter-Sweet" (4:50) "Triptych" (3:09) "Casanova" (3:27) "A Really Good Time" (3:45) "Prairie Rose" (5:12)Lovers you consume, my dear, as others do their tropes: | |
