歌手簡(jiǎn)介

Tailgates & Tanlines
Luke Bryan,美國(guó)鄉(xiāng)村創(chuàng)作歌手。出道前曾為Travis Tritt和Billy Currington等鄉(xiāng)村歌手創(chuàng)作歌曲。2006年年底正式以歌手身份出道,歌手生涯首單All My Friends Say引發(fā)熱議,當(dāng)時(shí)諸多音樂人看好Luke的前途。到15年3月份,Luke已發(fā)行六張Spring Break EP、一張Spring Break合輯和四張錄音室專輯,成為美國(guó)當(dāng)紅鄉(xiāng)村歌手之一。專輯簡(jiǎn)介
在第二張專輯的三支單曲相繼取得成功后,Luke的人氣大漲。在11年他依照兩年一專的速度,發(fā)布了他的第三張專輯Tailgates & Tanlines。
專輯的首支單曲為Country Girl (Shake It for Me)。這首歌于11年5月14日發(fā)行,在當(dāng)時(shí)并沒有太大的反響,而這歌在Billboard Country Airplay榜上最高排名也只有第四。結(jié)果后來在Luke不斷的宣傳下,這首歌到現(xiàn)在反而成為了Luke銷量最高的單曲并廣為傳唱,毫不夸張地說,當(dāng)年許多人就是在這首歌的影響下開始喜歡Luke的。
這張專輯共收錄了13首歌曲外加一首Bonus Track,其中有8首歌Luke本人參與了創(chuàng)作,因此本專是比較好地表達(dá)了Luke心中所想的。
專輯里另一首膾炙人口的歌曲是Drunk On You。這首歌屬于典型的Luke式情歌:通過較動(dòng)感的曲調(diào)表達(dá)很深的感情,后來的Roller Coaster、I See You等都是這類歌曲的典范。
專輯到目前美國(guó)認(rèn)證兩白金,實(shí)際銷量約為2,300,000份,并依然長(zhǎng)賣,這得益于該專輯良好的口碑,這方面會(huì)在后面具體介紹。
這張專輯開啟了Luke個(gè)人的首輪巡演——Dirt Road Diary Tour(該巡演詳細(xì)情況可前往Luke Bryan百科查看),此輪巡演不僅幫助Luke積累了強(qiáng)大的人氣,更幫助Luke在13年的鄉(xiāng)村學(xué)院獎(jiǎng)(ACMs)上斬獲年度藝人的稱號(hào),Luke也當(dāng)場(chǎng)哭泣。
總而言之,這張專輯既賺了銷量又贏了口碑,是Luke的經(jīng)典專輯。

1.American Songwriter:80分
Tailgates & Tanlines is, for the most part, exactly what the title implies: a soundtrack for fun and sun, along with an instantaneous cure for the summertime blues. However, it’s the moments when Bryan digs deeper, such as on Radney Foster’s emotionally-charged “I Knew You That Way” and the somber “You Don’t Know Jack,” warning against the dangers of alcohol abuse, when he really shines. These brief instants trump the fluffier material and hint at the kind of greatness Bryan is capable of delivering on future albums.
2.All Music Guide:70分
He's not flashy yet he's not boring, he's laid-back and assured, a modern guy who knows his roots but is happy to be in the present, and it's hard not to smile along with the guy as he sings.
3.Slant Magazine:40分
Had Bryan taken more risks of that sort with his song selection and writing, Tailgates & Tanlines might have been an interesting album. But there's no appreciable ambition here. Bryan's performances are workmanlike, as is Jeff Stevens's slick production, so there's nothing on the album to make it stand out from the rest of the Music Row assembly line. It's never more than competent.
