Ferry On The Notion Of Working With Bowie In The Quietus

Takes me right back, when we were young...

Earlier today, The Quietus published an interview with Bryan Ferry who is promoting his latest album, Olympia.

BF was interviewed by Chris Roberts and following a list of guest players on the album, which included David Gilmour and Nile Rodgers, the subject turned to collaborations...Over to Bryan and Chris...

CR: What if Bowie said that tomorrow? (This flies out of my mouth with an unpremeditated excess of zeal).

BF: ?Ah...that could be...ah, maybe, yeah. I?d be interested in anybody that I liked.? .
