5.0 out of 5 stars might be my fave BF, June 27, 2003
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Great album. So smooth and cool. Rescue me and Answer Me are freakin' awesome. And I never liked Amazing Grace in the least until I heard it on this album. Just enough quirkiness in every song to make each one interesting, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD will put a spell on you., June 7, 2002
This CD is a marvelous collection of ten covers. There aren't any original songs on here but the way Ferry takes older classics and gives them an updated sound is amazing. Unlike As Time Goes By which has a very 40s sound, Taxi has a very modern sound and most of the songs are eerie and haunting. I consider this rainy night traveling music. The title track is spellbinding. My favorite song though is Rescue Me(No not Madonnas 1990 song). It's a very dark, haunting song with a very futuristic sound and almost technoish beats, kind of like Wildcat Days from Mamouna. This CD is a worthy album of checking out. It's surely doesn't do Bete Noire or Boys and Girls justice but Taxi is an album that might please most of Ferrys fanbase. Enjoy the ten well-crafted songs on Taxi. Don't let this Taxi go by.

5.0 out of 5 stars eternal sounds, February 5, 2003
Hard to believe this one was released ten years ago. Sounds fresh and vibrant. Wonderful reinterpretations of classic songs often rendered more alive with the Ferry touch.

A great work by an accomplished musician.
