Bryan Ferry To Release Bob Dylan Covers LP

Bryan Ferry is set to release an album of Bob Dylan covers, imaginatively titled Dylanesque.' The Roxy Music frontman releases the 11 track long-player on March 5 and covers some of Dylan's most famous tracks.

Amongst the classics included are The Times They Are A Changin', Simple Twist Of Fate' and All Along The Watchtower' - later of course covered by Jimi Hendrix.

Ferry said in a statement: "I got the feeling people expected something fairly refined from me.

"My voice has gotten deeper and the album's got an element of roughness to it and, I hope, a kind of haunting quality. The singer in me is overjoyed to be singing these songs."

The singer will also be going on a lengthy jaunt of the UK throughout the spring, kicking off in Carlisle on March 1.
