The first three songs from side 2 of Roxy Music’s incredible 1974 album “Country Life,” my favorite album from that legendary band. And with a graphic that is finally safe for work! Anyone familiar with the “Country Life” album will know why this is significant. In some ways, “Country Life” is the perfect “desert island disc,” not only for the great music, but … well … the cover. If you’re alone on a deserted island with no companionship and limited media, this album has what I will call “multiple purposes.” If you have no idea what I mean, you can do a search on Google Images. After that, you’re on your own.
Unfortunately John Gustafson, bass player on “Stranded”,”Country Life” & “Siren” passed away this weekend. He was around for the Mersey Beat & has an impressive CV.

I’m sorry to hear that. Gustafson was an integral member of Roxy during their best period. Thanks for letting me know.
