Bryan Ferry takes us on a personal journey through the musical decades, playing the songs that have influenced him and the artists that he admires. Recorded at his legendary London studio, Bryan shares the stories behind his musical odyssey, beginning with his passion for 20's jazz, moving on through the big bands of the 30's and 40's, the early rock'n'rollers of the 50's and the soul legends of the 60's. He plays some of his favourite tracks from the West Coast psychedelic scene of the late 60's and 70's, and talks about being a lifelong fan of Bob Dylan.
