Just over 50 years ago, on the same day, June 16, 1972, two albums were released that changed the landscape of rock and its sartorial splendor:’s eponymously titled debut and David Bowie’s “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.” While each album was conveniently tagged as part of the start of glam-rock and its slow movement from Britain to the U.S., “Roxy Music” was something that “Ziggy Stardust” was not, despite the latter’s grandeur: downright weird.
It is this mix of the urbane, the soigné, the soulful and the strange that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees are currently celebrating on their 50th anniversary tour.
Though it took Ferry’s whispery croon a moment to warm, he did so in time to meet and match Mackay’s hypnotic oboe solo on the sweeping “Out of the Blue” and the magnetically eccentric “The Bogus Man.” That Roxy has not eschewed the spooky sensuality of that second album track sung in Ferry’s deeper-than-deep, creepiest baritone – and its crepuscular cousin, “In Every Dream Home, A Heartache” is what makes this band uniquely stunning, still.
