背景介紹:
說到Alison Krauss(艾莉森.克羅絲)就不能不提蘭草音樂(Blue Grass),一種精致的,純正的,原汁原味的音樂,很容易辨識。這種音樂有兩三部和聲,激烈的節奏,不受約束的情感。這" 孤獨而高亢"的聲音產生于20年代末的"弦樂運動"(String-band Movement),成名在來源于創始者Bill Monroe的樂隊"蘭草男孩"(The Blue Grass Boys),蘭草音樂被Bonnie Clyde,The Beverly Hillbillies在60年代末極力推動,贏得了一批全新的聽眾.今天,蘭草音樂仍保持者極高的影響力,象著名鄉村音樂人Alison Krauss就是一列。Alison出生于1971年7月23日Champaign,IL。16歲發行了第一張個人專輯,就立刻成為樂評家的最愛;18歲首獲得葛萊美獎,11項葛萊美獎和無數鄉村音樂獎項得主,藍草音樂的發揚者。然而真正使她聲名鵲起的卻是今天我向大家推薦的《Now That I've Found You:A Collection》。
遙遠的肯塔基,美麗的藍月亮,一如Blue Grass這個名字。這樣的聲音里,甜美的睡一個午覺,Banjo輕妙, Fiddle光滑,不必擔心它們會吵著你。在“When You Say Nothing at All”的歌聲里醒來時,或者你會氣憤地發現一度珍藏的電影《Notting Hill》的原聲碟里Ronan Keating這個小鞋匠實在是蒙蔽了你的耳朵,原來世界上將藍草之聲唱得最動聽的那個人叫Alison Krauss。
《河中的祈禱》為“無伴奏”清唱的典型代表作。曾記得最早聽到這首歌是在一部電影中,留下很深的記憶。是該好好地翻看自己收藏的DVD碟片了,把這部有這首歌的電影找出來的,記不得這部電影的名字了,那就好好地從眾多的碟片里找吧。
中英文歌詞:
《河中的祈禱 Down To The River To Pray 》
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord show me the way
當我走入河中祈禱

誰應戴上閃亮王冠
仁慈的主將我引導
