Re-make/Re-model: The Art School Roots of Roxy Music

This title offers a detailed exploration of the origins of the glam scene in the early ’70s. Fronted by the deeply charismatic Bryan Ferry – equal parts ’50s crooner and stylish spaceman – and with the visionary Brian Eno on keyboards, Roxy Music melded high-art intentions with commercial savvy to redefine what we understand pop culture to mean, and in the course of so doing created some of the 20th century’s most adventurous music.
