(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend -（幽灵）天空骑士：牛仔传奇，是美国词曲作者、影视演员斯坦·琼斯（Stan Jones）于1948年创作的一首牛仔风格的乡村/西部歌曲。 6park.com该歌曲的许多版本是1949年流行音乐排行榜上的跨界热门歌曲，曾经有数百名表演者录制了这首歌。沃恩·梦露（Vaughn Monroe 男歌手）凭借他的版本在《公告牌》杂志上排名第一（与管弦乐队和声乐四重奏合作的“天空骑士”）。其他用这首歌登上排行榜的艺术家包括The Outlaws，Bing Crosby（与Ken Darby Singers），Frankie Laine，Burl Ives，Marty Robbins，The Ramrods 和 Johnny Cash。 6park.com我喜欢两个版本，其中一个是非常有乡村味道的 The Highwaymen 乐队在1990年的现场演唱： 6park.com 6park.com《天空骑士》讲述了一个印第安人的民间故事：牛仔看到红眼睛、钢蹄牛在天空中轰鸣。当灵魂离开他的身体时，会骑行在天空中，就像幽灵骑士一样，追逐着牛群。总之，这首歌成为1949年美国排名第一名的歌曲，美国西部作家协会的成员选择它作为有史以来最伟大的西部歌曲。
以上视频的演唱者是The Highwaymen，一个成立于1985年的美国乡村音乐超级团体。该乐队由四位乡村音乐最伟大的艺术家临时组成，个个都有各自的传奇经历：Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, 还有 Kris Kristofferson。 6park.comThe Highwaymen乐队成员开创了“叛道乡村音乐”（Outlaw Country ），其特色集合西部、酒吧和摇滚乐，融合了民间节奏、乡村乐器和内省歌词。 6park.com说起来都是历史， “叛道”（Outlaw）由一小群活跃在1970年代和1980年代初的反传统艺术家创作并发起，统称为Outlaw运动。 6park.com事出有因，早在1960年代就是一个音乐史上巨变的十年，这种变化反映在当时的各种音乐流派中。披头士乐队、鲍勃·迪伦、滚石乐队以及许多紧随其后的乐队抛弃了唱片艺术家的传统角色。他们自己写歌词，在专辑中投入创意，拒绝符合社会对年轻人的要求，强势迫使他们的唱片公司让他们创作自己的专辑。 6park.com当时的乡村音乐也正衰落为一种公式化的流派，似乎为建制派控制的天下，纳什维尔机构决定了那个时代大多数乡村音乐的制式。反主流的一群乡村艺术家们在纳什维尔机构之外争取，并赢得了他们的创作自由， Willie Nelson，Waylon Jennings，Kris Kristofferson 和 David Allan Coe是该运动在商业上最成功的成员之一。于是， “叛道乡村”（Outlaw Country ）成为了美国乡村音乐的一个子流派。 6park.com本人还喜欢另外一个非常有创意的翻唱版本，不知道是什么流派，那口哨吹得相当应景： 6park.com 6park.com(Ghost) Riders in the Sky 6park.com附录歌词： 6park.comAn old cowboy went riding out One dark and windy day Upon a ridge he rested As he went along his way 6park.comWhen all at once a mighty herd Of red eyed cows he saw Plowin' through the ragged skies And up the cloudy draw 6park.comTheir brands were still on fire And their hooves were made of steel Their horns were black and shiny And their hot breath he could feel 6park.comA bolt of fear went through him As they thundered through the sky For he saw the riders coming hard And he heard their mournful cry 6park.comYippie-yi-o Yippie-yi-yay Ghost riders in the sky 6park.comTheir faces gaunt Their eyes were blurred Their shirts all soaked with sweat He's riding hard to catch that herd But he ain't caught 'em yet 6park.com'Cause they've got to ride forever On that range up in the sky On horses snorting fire As they ride on, hear their cry 6park.comAs the riders loped on by him He heard one call his name 'If you wanna save your soul From hell a-riding on our range 6park.comThen, cowboy, change your ways today Or with us you will ride Trying to catch the devil's herd Across these endless skies 6park.comYippie-yi-o Yippie-yi-yay Ghost riders in the sky 6park.comGhost riders in the sky Ghost riders in the sky 贴主:Sunpower于2023_01_13 19:34:45编辑
