内容介绍:
在热门音乐的市场上,乡村音乐始终不被认为是所谓的「主流」,即使是在它大本营的美国,有惊人的广大群众都喜爱乡村歌曲,但通常仍然受到不少的误解跟排斥,认为这种音乐比较俚俗、草根性太强,所以很难打进流行市场的排行,影响之下,乡村歌手们的身价,也就远远不如所谓的「热门」歌手。最近这些年来,情况有了些改变,包括葛司布鲁克斯(Garth Brooks)、仙妮亚唐恩(Shania Twain)、费丝希尔(Faith Hill)和黎安莱姆丝(LeAnn Rimes)等人,都创下了惊人的销售成绩,缔造了非凡的身价。而掀起这波乡村歌手「捞过界」狂潮的,则是肯尼罗杰斯(Kenny Rogers)。
屈指可数的世界超级巨星Kenny Rogers(肯尼·罗杰斯),美国乡村歌曲手,出生于美国德克萨斯州,天生一头银发和银须的肯尼,在人们心目中是一位温和可、风度翩翩的作曲家兼演唱者,Kenny Rogers的特点是能把乡村音乐与流行音乐结合起来,肯尼·罗杰斯Kenny Rogers因此成为美国大众文化的象征人物。以其浑厚且具磁性的嗓音,及充满雄性魅力象征的落腮胡是其不变的形象,树立自己的风格,在流行乐与乡村乐跨界的潜力无以伦比,《Lady》是 Kenny Rogers最着名的情歌,由Lionel Richie为他量身打造不朽金曲 ,Lady曾称雄排行榜达六週之久。 歌曲的开头听起来有些悲伤的意味,直到全曲完全展开的时候,才感受到歌曲的深情。Kenny Rogers略带沙哑的嗓音将这种带着悲伤的深情演绎的无比动人。
出身赤贫农家的肯尼罗杰斯,早年唱过爵士与民歌,后来在60年代末期与友人共同组成「第一版」(The First Edition)合唱团,在「老鹰」(Eagles)还没有出现以前,就已经率先以「乡村摇滚」大为走红。 70年代中期,由于内部的纠纷,合唱团宣告解体,负债累累的肯尼罗杰斯毅然转往纳许维尔,以独唱乡村歌手的姿态东山再起,成了当时最走红的乡村歌手,连续好几首单曲都成功的捞过界,打进流行排行的前五名,几位女歌手也因为与他合唱,而开创了个人唱片生涯的高峰。另外,由于他勇于向自我挑战,不断寻求新的合作对象、尝试新的风格,更在1980年因为请到了当时还是「海军准将」合唱团(Commodores)主唱的黑人歌手莱昂纳尔·里奇(Lionel Richie )为他担任制作人,以一曲「Lady」造成了疯狂的轰动,不但同时在流行、乡村与蓝调等三大排行榜夺魁,在流行榜更获得连续六周的冠军,红遍了全球。
肯尼罗杰斯在唱片市场上的魅力,看在唱片公司的眼中,的确有如超级的摇钱树。当他与EMI的合约将满之际,各大公司纷纷展开挖角的攻势,最后,RCA以两千万美元的空前高价,成功的把他网罗到旗下,羡煞了许多大牌的超级巨星,更让他成为当时举世身价最高的男歌手.RCA旗下头牌的乡村女歌手桃莉芭顿(Dolly Parton)跟肯尼罗杰斯合唱「Islands In The Stream」,赢得了全美音乐奖的「年度最佳乡村单曲」,以及「乡村音乐学院」的「年度最佳二重唱」与「年度最佳单曲」,同时也是1983年度唯一成为白金唱片的单曲。由于这次合作的成功,桃莉芭顿跟肯尼罗杰斯成了一对最佳拍档,连续合作了许多次。除了在1984年联袂推出一张圣诞歌曲专辑、共同拍摄圣诞节特别节目,还一起巡回演出.
Kenny Rogers: The Journey is a solid and engaging account of Rogers' lengthy career in music, certain to teach any viewer something they didn't know about the many chapters in the superstar's life as an artist. A documentary, The Journey is a mix of concert footage (most of it archival) and interviews with Rogers, as well as numerous insights from key people in his history of making hit records. The overall message is that Rogers has been a class act from the very beginning, certain of his work ethic as well as his talent and ability to choose the right collaborators. High points include Rogers' reunion with the Bobby Doyle Three, the jazz-vocal group he joined right out of high school, and a smooth duet with Willie Nelson on Irving Berlin's "Blue Skies" (a performance in which Rogers resurrects his old skills playing upright bass). There's a lot of discussion about Rogers' instincts for finding great duet partners of the female variety: Dottie West, Kim Carnes, Dolly Parton, and even Sheena Easton (who, apparently, didn't get along with Rogers too well). Various insights about the early stages of Rogers' musical evolution are very interesting, especially his comments about the pop-folk group the New Christy Minstrels proving too restricting, giving rise to Rogers' soft-rock band the First Edition, followed by a solo career he feared would become "too country" with his smash hit, "Lucille." Also a lot of fun: Lionel Richie's self-effacing account of producing Rogers' successful attempt at a country-R&B crossover, "Lady." --Tom Keogh
