{"product_id":"the-stylist","title":"The Stylist","description":"Emerging in the early 70s as lead-singer and co-creative force of Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry defined the aesthetics of late 20th century pop music. A tangle of contradictions - born working-class on Wearside into a mining family but destined for a life lived dressed in haute0couture with aristocratic friends and glamorous model girlfriends - Ferry's fifty plus year career traverses the High Modernist end of Glam Rock, legendary ballads like 'Jealous Guy', exquisite covers of Bob Dylan, and experimental space-age pop. He is the Everyman become Chameleon: an unknowable, unfixable enigma, quintessentially British and class-bound with a paradoxically deliciously Europhile sensibility that sets him apart from his contemporaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on conversations with Ferry and interpretations of his art and performance over the years, \u003ci\u003eThe Stylist\u003c\/i\u003e will attempt to get to the heart of an artist whose influence is comparable to peers like Lou Reed, Neil Young and David Bowie. Someone who chose and pursued a life which valued style above everything else and in the process became almost a living archetype himself.","brand":"White Rabbit","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":64490991223161,"sku":"9781399645720","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/store.whiterabbitbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-stylist","provider":"White Rabbit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
