Roxy Music's fourth album, released in 1974, reached #3 in the UK charts. It was also their first record to crack the Top 40 in the U.S., reaching #37.
The track Casanova was praised by the critics as being more cynical and hard-rocking than the group's usual sound. Their fourth single, "All I Want Is You", reached #12 in the UK charts.
"The ultra-cool mur-mur of Bryan Ferry's voice could not be better suited to the warm musical setting offered by guitarist Phil Manzanera. Country Life brims with romantic pop and sleek arrangements that hint at a lifestyle of luxury, style and erotic allure; "Thrill of It All" is a high-water mark for art rock and glam rock." - www.rollingstone.com
