Margo Guryan "Take a Picture" Margo Guryan原先是一位爵士钢琴乐手,受到Beach Boys"God Only Knows"(1966) 的启发,从而让Guryan小姐原先是一位爵士钢琴乐手,转投丰实人们生命的pop music来. "Take A Picture"找来了许多知名古典乐手,一起录制这张细致而动人的专辑 於是这张专辑便於1968年出世;但是却因当时的种种因素, 让这张优秀专辑埋藏於地底下,彷如待人挖掘的珍宝. 於是三十年後,2000年底,美国厂Franklin Castle/Oglio终於将之做remastered发行, 并加入三首先前未发表作品. 由於先前古典爵士乐的薰陶,使得衬托在Guryan小姐如鲜奶油般甜美化口的歌喉下 有着些许片段的知名古典乐曲samplar铺陈(可惜我喊不出曲名), 而大部分的歌曲,透过Guryan小姐的创作与演绎,总是经典的让人不由得赋予 一幕幕六○年代的电影场景,那样的充满画面..或是为美丽的星期日早晨欢愉, 或是为丝洒下的小雨而相思,却总是爱在心里口难开哪... 而我最欣赏的, 是她那一手能够将个人私密情感,轻淡写意地描绘出一个情景.. 看看这一首个人最喜爱的 "Love Songs" : I heard pretty love songs coming from the open window today I stopped to listen to the love songs and i had to cry why didn't i just walked away.. i knew all the love songs once upon in a time you sang them to me today i was crying in the sunshine when someone said 'is something wrong' and i said no, it's just a song, and i can't tell you why.. pretty love songs always make me cry.. 官方网站发行处有试听片: http://www.franklincastle.net/margo.html 喜欢的话,诚音前阵子进的Siesta亦获得发行权,目前仍有货.. --
