我喜欢的南方小鸡

1998年,首次在主流厂牌旗下发行专辑《Wide Open Spaces》,即以真诚原味的乡村音乐风格、精湛纯熟的乐器演奏功力及充满特色且令人印象深刻的美丽合音,而令全美流行/乡村乐界大感惊艳的三人女子乐团Dixie Chicks,最初是于’80年代晚期由Emily Robison(斑鸠琴, dobro,合音)与Martie(小提琴,合音)这对姊妹与另两位女主唱Laura Lynch, Robin Macy所组成,团名则是灵感取自于Little Feat的经典名作《Dixie Chicken》。Dixie Chicks的草创初期是在德州达拉斯市的街头表演,但稍后便成为各类音乐演唱活动的必备名单,迅速建立她们实力派现场表演团体的名声,并在’90年代初期独立发行过《Thank Heavens For Dale Evans》、《Little Ol’Cowgirl》、《Shouldn’t A Told You That》三张专辑。然而,身为乐团灵魂人物的Emily与Martie并不以此为满。到了90年代中,她们决定重组并寻找一位新主唱─而最后这个人选就是如今的Natalie Maines,且随著Natalie的加入,也自此打开了Dixie Chicks的星运,让她们得以大显音乐才华,继而创造出一连串令人妒羡的丰功伟业。
截至今日,由Emily, Martie与Natalie三人所组的Dixie Chicks,虽仅分别于1998、1999发行过《Wide Open Spaces》、《Fly》两张专辑,却已在美国累积创下逾2千万张的专辑销售数字,并双双获得美国唱片工业协会所颁发的钻石奖,成为音乐史上唯一连续两张专辑销售破千万张、获得美国唱片工业协会钻石奖的女子乐团。除此之外,Dixie Chicks并已获得多座葛莱美奖,乡村音乐协会奖、告示牌音乐奖、全美音乐奖…等无数的奖座。

landslide
i took my love and i took it down
climbed a mountain then i turned around
and i saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
well the landslide brought me down
oh, mirror in the sky
what is love?
can the child within my heart rise above
can i sail through the changing ocean tides
can i handle the seasons of my life
uh ah ... uh ah ....
well, i've been afraid of changin'
'cause i've built my life around you
but time makes you bolder
children get older
i'm getting older too
well ...
well, i've been afraid of changin'
'cause i've built my life around you
but time makes you bolder
children get older
i'm getting older too
well, i'm getting older too
so, take this love, take it down
if you climb a mountain and turn around
and if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
well the landslide will brought it down
if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
well maybe ...
the landslide will bring it down.
