About this album
These Foolish Things is a striking debut from Bryan Ferry, establishing his taste for reinvention and elegant pop interpretation. Issued in 1973 after his breakthrough with Roxy Music, the album finds Ferry reworking familiar material rather than writing originals, using his lacquered vocal style and urbane phrasing to reshape songs by Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Beatles and others. The result helped define Ferry’s solo identity: sophisticated, knowing and a little detached, yet deeply musical. Its blend of glam-era style, pop standards and contemporary covers made it an influential opening statement and one of his most distinctive solo releases.
