華麗的冒險

拉萨是最接近天的地方，我却不是很向往（除了神秘的宗教），搭建好了那些供游人游看的建筑，让每个人都去欣赏和礼拜。我喜欢的地方是那些很少有人工干预的痕迹的地方。我想香格里拉就是其中之一，香格里拉位于云南、西藏、四川的交界处，附近有怒山山脉，云岭山脉、贡嘎山脉纵横南北，平行并列，梅里雪山、白茫雪山、哈巴雪山耸立于三山群峰之上。澜沧江、金沙江自北而南贯穿，造就了香格里拉独特的地理环境和优美景致。

高中时后在西安的新华书店买了的我人生中的第一盘引进版的卡带，也是最后一盘。很快就丢了，还记得那中失落的心情，和默默的消化那种失落的方式，在偏僻县城的高中里也许没有人知道他是谁，只希望那个偷拿了磁带的人能好好欣赏。好像当时也是这么想的。

专辑曲目：
Blue eyes blue
Change the world
My father's eyes
Tears in heaven
Layla
Pretending
Bad love
Before you accuse me (take a look at yourself)
It's in the way that you use it
forever man
Running on faith
she's waiting
River of tears
(I) get lost
Wonderful tonight

专辑介绍：

于2000年6月13日推出的这张万人瞩目的新专辑由Eric Clapton与B.B. King两位重量级人物合作，专辑的名字也起得颇具王者风范：《Riding With The King》。

Clapton前不久为茱莉亚新片《逃跑的新娘》所写歌曲“Blue Eyes Blue”反响不错，虽然年纪越来越大，他却总是能为乐坛带来清新之风。而B.B.King在布鲁斯音乐方面的权威性正像他的吉他演奏技巧一样不容质疑。两个人的年纪加起来都超过一百岁了，做布鲁斯却是正合适。

专辑中的曲目也是一目了然：“Three O'Clock Blues”，“Worried Life Blues”,"When My Heart Beats Like a Hammer"...无处不展示出这是一场布鲁斯音乐的盛宴，或许更能为比较年长的歌迷带来美妙回忆。但是就凭B.B.King和Clapton这两把吉它，我也建议你快快买一张收藏。

基本介绍：
　　提起电吉他演奏，就必须提到布鲁斯音乐；提起最伟大的吉他演奏大师，人们首先会想到的是Jimi Hendrix，但是说起依然在世的最伟大的吉他演奏家，名字只有一个——Eric Clapton爵士。自从上个世纪60年代布鲁斯摇滚乐以及布鲁斯吉他演奏成为了主流摇滚风格之后，在这种来源于黑人音乐的吉他演奏中，在所有除黑色外其他肤色的布鲁斯吉他演奏家之中，传奇人物Eric Clapton毫无疑问是其中最杰出的一位。在与Eric Clapton同时代的所有艺术家纷纷的离开人世，或者失去了原有的歌迷号召力之后，Eric Clapton是所有当年这些艺术家中为数不多的既然保持着自己高超的演奏技术以及强大的市场号召力的艺术家。 　　Eric Clapton为人谦逊，在与其他出色的吉他演奏者比如Jimi Hendrix，B.B. King，Duane Allman，甚至后辈Stevie Ray Vaughan相比较的时候他总是非常谦恭，在与B.B. King以及Bob Dylan等人同台的时候他总是举止非常礼让，他是最有绅士风度的流行音乐家之一。同时，作为世界上最著名的吉他大师，Eric Clapton还经常热心的帮助包括英国著名流行音乐家Sting，Bon Jovi乐队主音吉他手Richie Sambora在内的其他一些音乐家去录制专辑或者拍摄音乐录影带，并且经常为一些音乐家担任吉他手作伴奏。Eric Clapton曾经协助过Bob Dylan，Aretha Franklin，Joe Cocker，Ringo Starr，Freddie King，Roger Waters等等近百位艺术家的专辑录制。 　　虽然电吉他演奏是Eric Clapton的最成功之处，但是当他于1992年3月在MTV电视台进行了不插电的现场演出节目之后，这位昔日以电吉他技术服众的艺术大师的原声吉他水平同样无人出其右。Eric Clapton的不插电现场专辑和涅磐乐队(Nirvana)的不插电现场专辑是MTV台不插电节目历史上销售成绩最好的两张专辑。 　　Eric Clapton作为最杰出的吉他演奏者，深刻的影响了后来涌现的众多音乐人.

简介:

The Band

Nathan East - bass, backing vocals

Steve Gadd - drums

Andy Fairweather Low - guitars, backing vocals

Greg Phillinganes - keyboards

Billy Preston - Hammond organ, kieyboards

David Sancious - keyboards, guitar

For the "One More Car One More Driver" Live on tour 2001, Eric Clapton backed himself up with some of the finest Jazz musicians in the industry. For starters is the amazing Steve Gadd on drums. You may remember him from Steely Dan, Al DiMeola (guitar), Chic Corea (keyboard) and the list goes on. Eric's band is fully armed with one of the foremost jazz basist's, Nathan East. Nathan has appeared on hundreds of albums and in numerous Grammy-award winning performances including Eric's MTV Unplugged and his 1997 Song of the Year "Change The World". He was also co-founder of the group Fourplay (signed to Warner Bros), with Bob James (piano), Lee Ritenour (guitar) and Harvey Mason (drums), whose Grammy-nominated albums have earned Gold status and continue to top Billboard's Contemporary Jazz charts. His outstanding contribution to popular music has been recognized with distinctions that include Britain's Ivor Novello Award, ASCAP Awards for songwriting, NARAS Most Valuable Player for several successive years and MVP at the International Rock Awards. If that's not enough, Eric has none other then Billy Preston hammering away on the Hammond Organ. For those to young to know, Billy Preston is sometimes known as the "fifth Beatle" due to his work on "Let it Be" and "Abbey Road." In addition to the Beatles, his accomplishments are highlighted by a string of hits, including collaborations with some of the most celebrated names in the music industry: Aretha Franklin, Sammy Davis Jr., Quincy Jones, The Jackson Five, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles, not to mention his beginnings as a Gospel musician. Without question, Billy Preston adds the sole to this awesome concert.

Concert Summary

Like a good bottle of wine, the older Eric Clapton gets, the better he becomes. The "One More Car One More Driver" DVD concert is a wonderful display of a legendary guitar player that continues to refine his playing, even after his magnitude of success obtained over so many years of fine playing. The Concert starts with just Eric Clapton on acoustic guitar. For me, that would be more then enough, but that's just the beginning. After his first bluesy lick on acoustic, on comes the band. That's when Eric reaches for the semi-hollow body Gibson Electric and plays something startling; a jazz riff. With the band he has backing him up, I guess it should be expected. Then it's back to the acoustic with full band for several wonderful tunes. The first 30 minutes or so is very subdued and relaxing and shows Eric's refined side of playing. Then itâs on to his fancy painted Fender Stratocaster and the blues. Man, there's still no one that can play the blues like that man. Mixed in the blues tunes are classic Clapton tunes that include Badge, Cocaine, Wonderful Tonight, Layla and Sunshine For Your Love. The whole concert is an experience and the DVD does a remarkable job of capturing the magic.

专辑介绍:
Back Home这张专辑,这是从2001年Reptile以来, Eric第一张有新创作曲目的唱片.Clapton很好的利用了长期合作伙伴们的天赋,像是:Simon Climie, 还有Steve Winwood, John Mayer, Stephen Marley, Robert Randolph等大师人物.

唱片将在8月30日发行,这张唱片所有12首歌曲都是在去年制作Me & Mr. Johnson专辑时候录制的. "我想制作一张唱片,并不考虑它会成什么风格主题." Clapton说."它会花费很长时间,对于这个事实我们当时有点听天由命,当我们遇到阻碍或者进展实在太慢,我们就停下来录制一首Robert Johnson的曲子.这样可以让我们换一下思绪,然后我们再回到这张新专辑上来,结果我们就先完成了Robert Jonhnson那张专辑."

Me & Mr. Johnson 在Billboard的布鲁斯专辑榜上获得了冠军的位置,并在Billboard200上获得了第6名,据Nielsen SoundScan统计,在美国的销量达到612000张.而Reptile那张专辑在Billboard200上排名第五,销售了560000张.

这张专辑中,Clapton自己创作了专辑同名歌曲Back Home,他和Climie共同创作了新专辑的5首歌曲,其中包括单曲Revolution.同时专辑包含了一首George Harrison版本的Love Comes To Everyone还有一首The Spinners的 Love Don't Love Nobody以及翻唱了一首Stevie Wonder/Syreeta Wright的歌曲I'm Going Left,以及一首由 Vince Gill创作的One Day.

Climie和Clapton共同制作这张专辑,专辑中还有这些如此让人耳熟能详的乐手,像鼓手Steve Gadd , 贝斯手Nathan East, Pino Palladino,吉他手Bramhall, Andy Fairweather Low以及键盘Billy Preston.

Clapton说,"这张专辑将我作为一个巡回演出音乐人的旅程作了一个总结.现在我自己有了新的家庭,那就是我为什么选择这个名字作为新专辑的名字的原因,应该回家了,应该呆在家里了.虽然,"他补充道:"明年我还将要上路,还将演奏我的音乐."

Amazon.com
Back Home is Eric Clapton in a good mood, filled with upbeat toe-tappers about hearth and home (a young child even puts in a cameo on "So Tired"). Blues-rock ("Lost and Found"), reggae ("Revolution"), and R&B (the Spinners' "Love Don't Love Nobody") mingle comfortably with laid-back pop (George Harrison's "Love Comes to Everyone"). Recorded around the same time as Me and Mr. Johnson, his best selling collection of Robert Johnson songs, Clapton's first recording of (mostly) original material since 2001's Reptile is a combination of solo compositions, covers, and collaborations with writing partner Simon Climie. Backing musicians include John Mayer (guitar), Blind Faith mate Steve Winwood (synthesizer), and longtime associate Billy Preston (keyboards), whose expertise with the Hammond B3 shines brightest on the Vince Gill co-written "One Day". There are no real surprises on Back Home, just Clapton doing what he does best--with an extra sprin! g in his step. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

专辑简介：

作为一位BLUES王国的主宰，传奇人物 B.B.King 无疑是过去半个多世纪中最重要的电声吉他演奏大师。他一直有着无上的自信，能够从任何抒情诗中挤榨所有微妙的语感；他那独特的小颤音足以将他与后来人远远分开。同时，他亦是一位表现力丰富的超级歌手，善于使用不同的曲调演唱同一句歌词，而且经常变化唱法，颤声、假声或是真假声轮唱。不过，最重要的一点是：B.B.KING一直是位谦逊的superstar，而且永远面带笑容。

毫无疑问地，这绝对是史上最棒的蓝调现场演唱专辑；在这张专辑中，B.B.King展现它一贯的风格，以最少的音符表达最庞大的情感。这张专辑让所有吉他手痛恨味道这两个字，你能模仿B.B.King所弹得每一个音，但那永远无法听来像B.B. King。

传奇人物B.B.King毋庸质疑是二十世纪后半叶吉他领域里的权威人物，是这个时代布鲁斯音乐的领导者之一。一个有所成就的Blues吉他手如果没有经过音乐大师的指导是不可想象的，而B.B.King却是凭着自己的灵感与努力创立了自己的音乐风格。

B.B.King原名Riley B.King，早年因做为一名虔诚的教徒而经常演唱教堂颂歌。1943年，他移居到接近Dela中心的一个小镇，渐渐的开始接触布鲁斯音乐，而让他的布鲁斯音乐才华得以充分发挥的却是布鲁斯圣地Mississippi Delta。在1951年到1985年间，B.B.King取得的成绩是为世人所瞩目的，他曾做为极少数功力深厚的布鲁斯明星之一，进入了仅74人的BillBoard R&B演唱会入选者名单。尤其是1970年，B.B.King因《The Thrill Is Gone》取得的巨大成功成为了乐坛的焦点人物，从而获得了数以万记的乐迷和世界一流吉他大师的头衔。在他的音乐生涯中，曾与多位音乐大师合作，包括布鲁斯大师T-Bone Walker和Lonnie Johnson、爵士大师Charlie Christian和Django。
