Phil Manzanera's final Tracks Of My Years
Phil Manzanera picks his final two Tracks Of My Years, plus there's the final play from Record and Album Of The Week. There's also The Love Song and, of course, PopMaster.
Phil Manzanera, famously of Roxy Music and currently collaborating with former Split Enz and Crowded House star Tim Finn, chooses his final two Tracks Of My Years.
Phil successfully auditioned to be in Roxy Music almost 50 years ago, and was part of the classic line-up alongside Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay and Paul Thompson. But Phil has always had his own projects in parallel to the band, and over the years has collaborated with musicians including Godley and Creme, David Byrne, David Gilmour, and now, Tim Finn.
Phil and Tim have recently released their joint album 'Caught By The Heart', which features music covering a range of styles and genres: Latin, rock, pop, prog, reggae and chamber-classical. It's a true lockdown album, with both musicians working in their home studios some 12,000 thousand miles apart. 'Caught By The Heart' comes 45 years after Phil and Tim first worked together, when Tim’s band Split Enz, supported Phil’s band, Roxy Music, on their first Australian tour. This led to Phil producing the Split Enz album ‘Second Thoughts’ when they came to the UK the following year.
Over the subsequent years, their paths would cross periodically, with Tim singing and writing songs for Phil’s ‘K- Scope’ and ‘Southern Cross’ albums, and Phil doing guest spot with Tim in the UK.
The final two tracks Phil has picked come from Dire Straits and Bob Dylan.
Ken also has the final plays from the Record and Album Of The Week and your dedications in The Love Song. If you want to contact the show, just email - ken.bruce@bbc.co.uk.
