"As Time Goes By" Bryan Ferry has often opted for classics from other times and places. As Time Goes By focuses on music largely from the 1930s and '40s and conjures that era's aura of fine cigars, sateen gowns, and gentlemanly romance. The opening title track summons images of Bogie and Ingrid, and is one of the finest moments in the collection. His talented band swings with fervor, especially on the upbeat tunes "The Way You Look Tonight," "Lover Come Back to Me," and "Just One of Those Things." There are a number of intimate, romantic moments, but the highlight is Ferry's take on "Falling in Love Again," first made famous way back when with devastating sadness by Marlene Dietrich.Ferry's version is almost as moving. --Lorry Fleming

Customer review from Amazon

Reviewer: Daniel M Jessup from Kodiak, Alaska Every artist should be entitled to do an album that THEY want to do... and this is Bryan's. Those who have followed and enjoyed Ferry's work over the decades from Roxy Music through his solo efforts know he has a soft spot for the "classic oldies" and this collection of 20s and 30s "hits" is a wonderful addition to his musical resume. The musicians shine brightly and provide an authentic "sound" of the era from which these songs were written. I wouldn't recommend this as a "first" Bryan Ferry CD, but it proves his versatility and is a very enjoyable and relaxing collection of songs. I agree with some of the previous reviewers that I hope we have yet to hear more "original" material from him because that is what most of us crave musically from him. But this is a very pleasant interim album that I recommend to any true fan of Mr. Ferry.
