Can there be more of an antithesis to Bob Dylan than Bryan Ferry, at least when it comes to singing? Ferry's mellifluous tenor and predilection toward smooth, moody arrangements sits far afield from Dylan's craggy vocals and raw stylings. And that, of course, is what makes the Roxy Music frontman such an intriguing interpreter of Dylan's work. This 11-song enterprise, recorded in just a week with his touring band, is more hit than miss, faltering on a chunky, pedestrian take of "The Times They Are A-Changin' " and the somnolent "Make You Feel My Love." But it shines on a loose, ringing rendition of "Simple Twist of Fate," an ambient, Celtic-tinged version of "Gates of Eden" and an energized "If Not for You" with electronic "enhancements" by Brian Eno. All told, Ferry makes Dylan's hard reign pretty easy to listen to.—Gary Graff
