This week's Rewind takes listeners back to 2018, when Roxy Music’s Bryan Ferry joined Kyle Meredith to reflect on the band’s self-titled debut album, revisiting the demos, vaulted outtakes, and the youthful energy that shaped the iconic record. Listen to the archival interview now.

Ferry fondly recalls the excitement of being in the studio for the first time, experimenting with various musical styles and the collage-like approach that defined Roxy Music's early sound. He discusses how the punk rock movement, which followed just a few years later, echoed the wild abandon of Roxy Music’s early days, as well as how it felt like a generational shift.

Ferry also touches on his desire to re-record some of his older songs, inspired by his love for jazz greats like Charlie Parker, who would often revisit the same material throughout their careers. He explains how reworking tracks from different angles — whether acoustically, with an orchestra, or with a fresh perspective — can been a rewarding way to explore his catalog.

Ferry expresses a continued interest in collaborating with former Roxy Music bandmate Brian Eno, citing their brief yet impactful work on For Your Pleasure as a high point. Though their busy schedules haven’t aligned yet, Ferry remains hopeful for a future collaboration. He also shares a personal moment of loss, reflecting on the passing of peers like David Bowie and his own beloved dog, Bobby, which has heightened his sense of urgency to continue creating as much as possible.
