Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in Switzerland following Ferry's highly publicized breakup with Jerry Hall, 'The Bride Stripped Bare' adopts a noticeably more confessional and melancholic tone than his previous solo outings. The sessions blend sharp, R&B-inflected covers with lushly orchestrated original compositions.
