1,Extreme - Saudades De Rock ★★★★ 2008.8.4
Saudades是葡萄牙语,发音sow-dodge,表达渴求和潜在的悲伤,或是某种东西自生命中消逝。Nuno生在葡萄牙,专辑名用葡萄牙语,是带有怀旧的暗示......今天出版的《上海一周》上有我写的Extreme“怀旧退化散文”一篇。
怎么办呢?我对这个乐队的记忆有15年的空白。之前的记忆是1995年的《Waiting For the Punchline》。1995年......什么概念?何况这张专辑也不怎么样。再之前,是张磊写的《非凡的III Sides To Every Story》。倒真是很让人感动的一张专辑,当时哭得来血淋大地。
内心强大的人就不会怀旧了么?Nuno说了:NuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuNo。 Take Us Alive
3,Johnny Winter - Nothin' But The Blues ★★★ 1977 一瘦骨嶙峋的白人布鲁斯老头,Smashing Pumpkins的精神导师之一。据说得过白化病,也是很不容易的。他的布鲁斯有仙气,但我不太喜欢他的唱法。现场比录音室专辑要好,更摇滚些,舞台表演也很有感觉。
4,Stevie Ray Vaughan - Couldn't Stand the Weather ★★★★☆ 1984 一张相见恨晚的唱片。Voodoo Chile太完美,深得精髓!还有“Scuttle Buttin'”和“Tin Pan Alley”,都很好。摇滚味道也比较浓的。这把吉他真漂亮得没法形容,帅啊,有力量。
没听过布鲁斯的姑娘们,从这张专辑开始吧...... Scuttle Buttin'
5,Stevie Ray Vaughan - In Step ★★★☆ 1989 不如他80年代早期的几张感觉那么好,细微的地方不一样了,之前是意气风发的,后来有点沉淀下来了。也算相当出色。他对布鲁斯的想法一直没变,每个小节都有让人信服的动机。
无论如何,SRV始终是我最喜欢的布鲁斯乐手之一。
Said said
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
oh my Little sister, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
Log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But what I'm gonna mean...
Everything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright

(ZT) Bob Marley对音乐和生命的理解同他的信仰“Rastafari拉斯特法理教”有密不可分的关系。
