前言

 

好久沒有介紹音樂團體了!

 

不過我還是對鄉村音樂情有獨鍾,

 

雖然最近也喜歡上一些翻唱歌手,

 

但美國的鄉村音樂還是我的最愛,

 

只要一聽歌曲就能馬上判斷出是鄉村音樂!

 

(突然意識到自己是多麼瘋狂啊~~)

 

但好聽的音樂就是要分享給大家知道嘛~


 


 

這次要介紹的樂團是比較新興還不是很多人知道,
 

當初認識這個樂團是因為他們同屬於Taylor Swift 的 Big Machine旗下的樂團,
 

偶然在逛Big Machine的網頁點進去發現他們的音樂好聽!
 

雖然歌曲不多...但每首都很經典!
 

然後我就買了他們的專輯了...


之後有機會應該會拆開吧吧吧...敬請期待我的開箱文!



Edens Edge


   


左 Cherrill Green - Harmony Vocals, Mandolin, Banjo & Guitar

負責和聲、樂器曼陀林、班卓琴和吉他

 

中 Hannah Blaylock - Lead Vocals

負責主唱

 

右 Dean Berner - Harmony Vocals, Guitar & Dobro

負責和聲、樂器吉他和杜布羅吉他

 

第一次看到他們這個組合覺得蠻新鮮的,

 

畢竟目前就我所認知的鄉村音樂團體,

 

幾乎是以兩男一女為組合(像Lady Antebellum、The Band Perry等)

 

剛開始看他們也覺得像是平凡的組合...

 

不過等聽到Hannah高亢略帶磁性的聲音(個人覺得有點像Adele ),

 

就被吸引了!!(Hannah的身高在團體裡也滿顯眼的...)

 

更深入了解他們後,

 

發現他們用的樂器都很獨特!(光看上面的介紹就知道了...)

 

其他鄉村團體頂多就是不同種的吉他,(但還是看的出來是吉他)

 

他們用的卻是獨特的鄉村音樂樂器!

 


 

 

這張應該是他們剛出道的寫真照,

 

可是我比較喜歡他們現在的樣子!

 

 

 

之後錄了同名專輯《Edens Edge》後的寫真照都好棒!!

 

每張我都超喜歡,有一股復古風味...

 

開始介紹一下團體的歷史,

 

但...能介紹的不多,畢竟他們今年才出了首張專輯!

 

成員們皆來自美國阿肯色州,

 

他們於2006年在CMT舉辦的鄉村音樂大賽中脫穎而出,

 

那時他們遇到了鄉村音樂重鎮納什維爾的一位寫歌作家Kye Fleming。


接著隔年(2007年),他們便搬到納什維爾繼續發展。


直到2010年4月加入Big Machine唱片公司旗下,


(也就是Taylor Swift和The Band Perry簽約的公司!)

 

隔年(2011年)4月發行首支出道單曲"Amen",

 

該歌曲成為他們擠入鄉村音樂前20名的歌曲!

 

2012年6月12日首張同名專輯《Edens Edge》發行!!

 

關於專輯...等開箱文再詳細介紹吧~

 

 

 

從加入Big Machine到發行首張專輯期間,

 

Edens Edge的成員們可沒閒著,

 

這段期間他們就和多位鄉村歌手及團體到處巡迴演唱,

 

同常還沒有發行專輯或剛出道都會藉由幫一些有名氣歌手巡迴演唱的開場,

 

來培養自己或團體的經驗,

 

之前介紹過的Glothia以及The Band Perry還有Taylor Swift都曾這樣走過來

 

等出了自己的專輯後...粉絲也就變多,

 

也就是說唱片公司和藝人的好日子來了:)

 

Edens Edge合作的歌手頗多的...基本上我提過的鄉村歌手泰半他們都有合作的經驗!

 

之後...期待他們繼續有亮眼的表現和好聽的新歌喽~~

 

 

 

 

歌曲分享""

 

因為他們的作品不多,很容易就能挑出最棒的!

 

當然要推薦當初認識他們的那幾首歌啦~


希望大家會喜歡!



Amen



I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend that
You finally got rid of that girlfriend
You finally came out of that love coma boy
I've heard Mary Jane at the powder-puff beauty shop
Sayin' that blond in her tube top
She left our Jimmy for a boy in Illinois
Someone give me an amen,
Someone give me an amen.

Can I get a Thank God Hallelujah
You finally saw what she was doing to ya
Your mama called it and she was right
Glad to see you saw the light.
Whole town nearly hooped and hollered
She drove away nobody stopped her
Na na na na na na, I'll say it again
Someone give me an amen.

Yeah right, like I really coulda said something
You wouldn't heard it if the train was coming
Had your head so high in the clouds
Oh I, I had a really good reason
For hiding my feelings but now I can finally spit it out
Someone give me an amen.
Someone give me an amen.

Can I get a Thank God Hallelujah
You finally saw what she was doing to ya
Your mama called it and she was right
Glad to see you saw the light.
Whole town nearly hooped and hollered
She drove away nobody stopped her
Na na na na na, I'll say it again
Someone give me an amen.

I'm standing right here in front of you
I think I love you too
Can I get a Thank God Hallelujah
Baby do you believe it, do you?
Your mama called that she was right
Glad to see you saw the light.
Whole town nearly hooped and hollered
The preacher's son and the farmer's daughter.
Na na na na na, I'll say it again
Someone give me an amen.
Someone give me an amen.
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na

 

Too Good To Be True

 

 

You walked in shining brighter than a headlight
Turning every head like a diamond in a coal mine
Packing more punch than a Mississippi fist fight
Oh oh, oh my my
Walked my way took my hand and said “let’s go”
Had more game than the Mandalay casino
Thought I hit the jackpot I was on a good roll
Shows you what I know

Chorus
Too good to be true
Like diamonds on the soles of my shoes
Like money falling outta the blue
Don’t be fooled
He ain’t nothing but too good to be real
Don’t believe the way he’s makin’ you feel
He’ll break your pretty heart in two
Mama told me ‘bout boys like you
Too good to be true

Before I knew it my heartstrings unwound
I fell faster than a cannonball straight down
Everybody talking all over this town
Look there he goes again
Lie, lie, lie like a politician
Shoulda read the headlines, paid more attention
To my suspicions, my intuition…I shoulda listened

Repeat Chorus

I shoulda seen it from a mile away
I shoulda called a spade a spade
I shoulda know that you were…

Repeat Chorus

Too good to be true, yeah!
You’re just too good to be
You’re just too good to be
You’re just too good to be…true

You’re just too good to be
You’re just too good to be
You’re just too good to be…true

 

Skinny Dippin'

 

 

I warned you that the tank was low
Shoulda stopped for gas 10 miles ago
Back in Prairie Grove
N’ now we’re stuck, n’ just our luck
It’s too hot to say I told you so
But I told you so
As I recall my Uncle Paul
Talked about a swimming hole not far from here
There’s no iced tea, no a/c
I guess we’ll just have to cool off naturally

Chorus
Close your eyes, uh-uh, no peeking
Are you thinking what I’m thinking
Wanna go-o-o-o-o
Sweet temptation in the cool blue water
Probably shouldn’t but I think we oughta
Go-o-o-o-o-o-o
It ain’t no thing
Pretty sure it ain’t no sin
Let’s go skinny dippin’

You’re a boy, I’m a girl
But I ain’t scared to give it a whirl if you’re not
We can hang our clothes on a big oak tree
Let’s just hope nobody sees
But if they do so what
You say one, and I’ll say two
Right on three, just me and you in our birthday suits

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
The birds and bees and frogs are free
You should come along with me, oh

Repeat Chorus
