Bête Noire – Byran Ferry
At last, our journey through the “best of” has come to an end and the first album we arrive at is Bête Noire by Byran Ferry.
This is Ferry’s seventh solo studio album dating back to 1987. Ferry is still doing his lounge lizard thing but this time he’s seasoning with dark juju. French Afro-Carribean influences percolate through the album like well ground coffee.
Surprisingly, I’ve not listened much to this album. I was bitten by the Ferry bug a few years after this album was released and missed its passing in the shops. In fact it was not until I was making a Ferry compilation for the car that I realised I’d heard many of the tracks before. It’s funny when that happens. Since then, the album has had a bit more playtime on my iTunes.
