Country Life is the fourth album by the English rock band Roxy Music, released in 1974 and reaching No. 3 in the UK charts. It also made No. 37 in the United States, their first record to crack the Top 40 there. The album is considered by many critics to be among the band's most sophisticated and consistent.

Continuing with the stylistic developments of Stranded, Country Life finds Roxy Music at the peak of their powers, alternating between majestic, unsettling art rock and glamorous, elegant pop/rock.

The fourth album, Country Life, was released in 1974, and was the first Roxy Music album to enter the US Top 40, albeit at No. 37. Country Life was met with widespread critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone referring to it "as if Ferry ran a cabaret for psychotics, featuring chanteurs in a state of shock". Their fifth album, Siren, contained their only US top 40 hit, "Love Is the Drug". Ferry said the song came to him while kicking the leaves during a walk through Hyde Park. Roxy Music reunited during 1978 to record a new album, Manifesto, but with a reshuffled cast. Jobson was not present, and was reportedly not contacted for the reunion. At that time, Jobson was touring and recording with his own band, U.

Roxy Music Format: Audio Cassette. IMO "Country Life" has three stellar songs, and the rest are all fine as album tracks, but are not of the same caliber. We start splendidly with "The Thrill of It All," a quintessential statement of Ferry-style hedonism. The album closes with the brilliant "Prairie Rose," co-authored by Ferry and guitarist Phil Manzanera. Perhaps it's generational but whenever I see cover art like this, a little part of me expects the music within to be shallow.
