老歌亂談(122) Take It Easy
2011年老鷹合唱團(Eagles)來台灣開演唱會,我沒去看。我總覺得,這些歌手都年紀一把了,應該很難再顯現得出昔日的那種魅力風華,花錢去林口大塞車還事小,親眼見到並對偶像的崇拜有所幻滅,那才真正是一件糟糕的事。
Eagles好聽的歌也是一籮筐,這首《Take It Easy》是他們成軍後於1972推出的第一張單曲,也算是他們的招牌歌之一。和清水合唱團一樣,Eagles也沒有用一些怪七怪八的樂器,以傳統的電吉他所演奏出來的鄉村搖滾樂風,聽來非常的親切和舒暢。而清水合唱團多半靠John Fogerty一個人嘶吼,相較之下,Eagles的合音就更有聽頭了。
這次選個現場演唱版,雖然音效稍稍差了一些,但能感受一下現場演唱的氣氛,我認為還是值得。
