舒適的南方

| 2 Comments | No TrackBacks

在美國的南方待了將近12年,從來沒有喜歡過鄉村音樂,倒是住在密西西比的時後,聽習慣了南方的傳統爵士和藍調。再過幾天就要離開德州到加州去了,突然想到有兩張流行專輯其實骨子裡面含了許多南方音樂的旋律。

第一張是Norah Jones在2002年初發行的Come Away with Me這張讓她名利雙收的得獎專輯。這張專輯紅的時候,公共場所和電台時常播放專輯裡的一兩首歌。身邊的人也常常提到她,鎮上的報紙也在她得獎後提到這個高中畢業後從德州搬到紐約去住的鄰村小女孩。為什麼會說是鄰村小女孩,因為她初中和高中時都在隔壁村葡萄藤生活過,同一個學區。2004年初我在超市看到這張專輯只剩9塊美金,就買下了。聽過了整張專輯,令人很舒服的一張專輯,想不到這麼年輕的女孩子會做出這麼傳統爵士藍調的樂風。除了兩首流行的之外,我最喜歡的是Shoot the Moon和One Flight Down,濃濃的藍調和南方爵士,讓我想起,讓我想起開車在陸伊斯安納州、阿拉巴馬州、和密西西比州,松林裡吹出的溼熱的風,我在車子裡聽着Eric Clapton的Unplugged專輯的錄音帶。

Eric Clapton的Unplugged在1992年8月18日發行的。那天我在台灣台中,我的行李整理的差不多了,不到72個鐘頭就要到飛到美國密西西比了,所以那天晚上到和一大群專科的同學到give me five pub喝龍舌酒加七喜。這張專輯我是在密西西比州一個小鎮購物中心的唱片行買的,應該是我在美國買的第一卷錄音帶。Eric Clapton雖然是英國人,但這張專輯大部分是美國的藍調吉他和藍調唱腔,有趣吧!這張專輯,伴我渡過剛到密西西比的最初幾年,不管是在公寓內還是在車內。

im so glad haley will be pregnant in season 8. i dont want a time jump. 4 months is alright but not up to the point where naley are parents again

The link Raggs had was also in Newsmax yesterday. As far as I know it is true. I myself cant figure out how they got away with it. There was also a post above from chuck b commenting on the vote just because the color of skin. Very true. I also still believe that if we are lucky enough to vote Obama out, well see the likes of L.A. after Rodney King. I really hope Im wrong on this but regardless the outcome, weve gotta get him and others out of there.
