简介:
英国流行乐国宝爷爷Elton John和传奇音乐人Leon Russell的首次合作唱片.这张专辑给我感觉像两位老伯伯喝着下午茶晒着太阳聊人生,温暖而干燥.
有时,两位艺术家合作的结果却往往是对各自艺术灵感和创作才华的削弱,而这张唱片却达到了一种氛围上的融合,也许这与二人多年的熟稔及声音的和谐度息息相关.说起如今早已声名显赫的Elton John和Leon Russell的相识可以追溯到40年前,当时Leon Russell作为知名吉他手及音乐人参加了Elton John在美国举办的第一个个人音乐会,二人音乐风格也深受彼此影响.
《The Union》词曲由Elton John和Leon Russell共同创作.由权威制作人T-Bone Burnett参与制作.专辑音乐融合了70年代蓝调,流行,钢琴福音,乡村等元素,十分悠闲,有点幽默,不间断的钢琴伴奏又流淌出温暖和深沉,二人重唱时声线极具融合性,和声伴唱由福音合唱团完成,听感相当舒适.此外,Elton John将邀请Leon Russell于11月3日在洛杉矶Hollywood Palladium剧院开始他新一轮的美国巡演.
这张唱片可以说是Elton John和Leon Russell对自己黄金时期的一个回顾,无论是音乐风格,还是歌词描述,都能找到二人年轻时代的影子.过多的柔版节拍和通用旋律也许会让它多少显得有点漫长,不过还是能让人在聆听的同时细细品味和享受时光.

iTunes Review
Leon Russell was an early inspiration for Elton John and John had opened for Russell in the early days. But fortunes flipped and John went on to superstardom while Russell kept on keeping on his own road of smaller clubs and selective audiences. Together, some forty years later, they sound as if they had been meant to play together. “If It Wasn’t for Bad” is a solid piece of no-nonsense road music, strong beats and harder voices coming together with a sense of mastery and experience. “Eight Hundred Dollar Shoes” plays with even more legacy under its piano weight, as it turns and looks at past success in all its faded glory. “Hey Ahab” struts with a renewed sense of the world. “Gone to Shiloh” settles in with a touching, emotive pull as it spills over the Civil War. “Jimmie Rodgers’ Dream” remembers a long-lost country legend, the Singing Brakeman. “The Best Part of the Day” brings out a classic modern country sound. “When Love Is Dying” throws the two singers into sweet relief, with Brian Wilson’s choral arrangement adding the heavenly touch.
