The High Road by Roxy Music
"The High Road" (EP) is Roxy Music's second live release with only four over-five minute tracks, two of them cover songs and one a Ferry solo effort originally released on The Bride Stripped Bare. It was recorded at the Apollo in Glasgow, Scotland on August 30, 1982 and released in 1983 after Roxy Music disbanded for the second time. Produced by Rhett Davies & Robin Nash.
Bob Marley’s 1976 album <i>Rastaman Vibration</i> marks the moment when the Jamaican singer transformed from an emerging reggae star into an international pop icon, creating a world-conquering sound out of the three elements he namechecks on the album’s second song: “Roots, Rock, Reggae”. Marley’s mastery is untouchable on keening, lovestruck ballads like “Cry to Me” and gritty, urban tales like “Johnny Was”; he even finds a way to incorporate a Haile Selassie speech into a slinking, intense riddim on “War”.
