Taxi

Studio Album - March 1993

Released in UK on 22nd March 1993, Bryan's eigth solo album came seven years after Bete Noire, the longest period to date between Bryan's albums. After several years working on an album with a working title of 'Horoscope', Bryan decided to do something different. He had just recorded Are You Lonesome Tonight? for the soundtrack to 'Honeymoon In Vegas' in 1992 and this became the catylist to record some old songs. The album peaked at number 2 in the UK album charts. The Japanese edition contained Are You Lonsome Tonight? as a bonus track.

I Put A Spell On You reached number 18 in UK, Will You Love Me Tomorrow reached number 23 and Girl Of My Best Friend peaked at 57.

The album was dedicated to Bryan's mother, Mary Ann Ferry, who died in 1991.
