"Roxy Music captures the intoxicating rush of desire, danger, and chasing unforgettable moments"
"The Thrill of It All"
ROXY MUSIC
Country Life (1974)
Country Life is the fourth studio album by the English art rock band Roxy Music, released on 15 November 1974.
Many critics consider the album to be among the band's most sophisticated and consistent.
Country Life peaked at number 3 on the UK albums chart. It also charted at number 37 in the US, becoming their first record to crack the top 40 in the country.
The opening track, "The Thrill of It All", is an uptempo rocker that builds on the style of previous Roxy Music songs such as "Virginia Plain" (1972) and "Do the Strand" (1973).
Shot by Eric Boman, the Country Life cover features two scantily clad models, Constanze Karoli (sister of Can's Michael Karoli[6]) and Eveline Grunwald (who was also Michael Karoli's girlfriend).
The cover image was controversial in some countries, including the United States and Spain, where it was censored for release. Instead of Karoli and Grunwald posed in front of some trees, the reissue used a photo from the album's back cover that featured only the trees.
