「這是一個曾經的中國流亡音樂人對台北的情感與記憶，感傷而幽默。在他的音樂中，我們不僅聽到台灣如何影響著另一個來自他方的靈魂，也讓我們可以重新凝視這座城市的傷痕與美麗。」——張鐵志
「凌凌，我們是這樣叫他的。他的故事軌跡以∞符號跨越了半個地球，來到陌生的台灣；友情，讓他對台灣的氛圍感到熟悉。凌凌，10年來的台灣故事，都寫在《台北敘事詩》裡。」——許建榮
「這張專輯，讓台北城的灰暗，散發出低調歌德的無盡魅力！」——Freddy

音樂人與專輯介紹：
他笑稱自己為「國際流浪漢」，從中國到台灣、北歐、東南亞，漂泊踏遍好多國家。
「為甚麼第一張專輯寫台灣呢？」
「台灣改變了我的生命啊。」他說。

段信軍，中國南昌人，十年前因随盤古樂團到台灣參加「SAY YES TO TAIWAN」，從此回不了家，輾轉流離，最後到了遙遠的瑞典。幾年時間他走遍許多國家，以異鄉人的角色四處觀察、感受，以音樂透視人生。「漂泊」成為對自己生活的註解，而他能夠憑藉抒發的方式便是不停創作，用音樂將一路上的故事與感觸說出。十年過去，段信軍終於回到故鄉，完成了第一張個人專輯《台北敘事詩》，作為一系列概念專輯的開始，也以此紀念不可重複的人生逆旅。

《台北敘事詩》在音樂上有相當多元的呈現，以民謠為骨架，穿上重搖滾、流行、電子等各種元素，歌詞內容或有沈重滄桑，音樂的色彩卻是豐富繽紛。這是一張裝滿故事和情感的專輯，反映著歷史與社會現實的樣貌。

這是一個異鄉人，用一張音樂專輯描繪出他親身感受的台灣。
十四首歌，十四個故事，十四段真摯的情感，一個異鄉人送給台灣的禮物。

M.C. Taylor’s fourth full-length as His Golden Messenger mixes regional folk and country traditions with strains of rock and R&B, striking a tone of convivial toil. William Tyler and members of Megafaun and Mountain Man contribute.

Hezekiah Says You're A-Ok, the debut album from Philadelphia songwriter vehicle Hezekiah Jones, is a record both nuanced and swayingly graceful. Falling somewhere in the realm between early Leonard Cohen and Will Oldham's Bonnie 'Prince' Billy recordings, Hezekiah Jones has crafted an album of tightly coiled harmonies, memorable lyrical melodies, and nimble, literate songwriting.
Raphael opens the album with the hypnotic Agnes of the World, setting the stage for a record populated with songs crafted like messages in bottles, tossed over the deck by a lone sailor on a rickety ship. The messages at first are sweet love letters, a little melancholy and a little homesick, but as the album progresses the ship turns a bit askew as the songs take on a slightly cracked logic and the wide-eyed air of 4 AM sleep deprivation.
The transition brings to mind the nervous eclecticism of the Beatles' White Album, only with a hazy delivery as if it were recorded by modern folk luminaries Hayden or Iron & Wine. Albert Hash, replete with distorted harmonica and gorgeous soaring harmony vocals, paints a figure akin to some of Lennon's fragmented character studies, while songs like Postpone channel that lush, acoustic beauty reminiscient of McCartney's contributions. In this context, the screen-door soundscape and prominent use of the slide whistle on Writing Letters in the Morning, or the kazoo chorus and Tom Waits junkyard clang of Hildebrand nestle themselves next to the summer hammock sentiment of Nothing's Bound and the tempered, bittersweet How You Feel About Traveling in a surprisingly cohesive, complementary fashion.
It's an album that is both easy to fall in love with and difficult to really nail down where it's coming from, comfortable but unexpected, unabashedly beautiful and languidly unnerving. I've never heard anything quite like it, and we here at Yer Bird are thrilled to bring it to you. I do hope you'll enjoy it.
Hezekiah Says You're A-Ok was recorded in Philadelphia and mastered at Masterworks by Philly legend Peter Humphreys (Lou Rawls, David Bowie).

For Xavier Rudd, writing music and living his life are one and the same. “I’m literally just singing about the things that are going on around me,” he says of his sublime and soaring indie-folk. Environmental work, activism, veganism, spiritualism, surfing, family camping trips in the bush and dog walks on the beach; everything Rudd does, he pours into song. The result is a personal sound that strikes a universal note.

2006 sophomore album by Andy Cabic's ever-evolving band Cabic, a member of Devendra Banhart's band, has expanded Vetiver into a full-on singer-songwriter project, aided and abetted by some of the best players in the extended family of which Cabic finds himself a member. Musically, there's a dreamy Topanga Canyon vibe on select songs (maybe that's the pedal steel calling on 'No One Word'), and there's also plenty of crunchy candy for those who have appreciated Cabic's recent nod toward the magic of '70s-era Fleetwood Mac. To Find Me Gone is Andy Cabic's own original statement, one that many will consider as one of the finest albums of 2006. 11 tracks. Fatcat.

With over 6 million records sold and 2 Grammy’s under their belts, The Wallflowers have released their fifth album and first with producer Brendan O’Brien (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen). Rebel, Sweetheart is the welcome re-introduction to a grown up rock & roll band with a renewed sense of purpose. The Wallflowers have created an album that yearns for clarity while reflecting the world’s complexity – these are songs written by a man and performed by a band that’s already lived a little. From the powerful expression of hope on the first single "The Beautiful Side Of Somewhere" to the moodily stunning "We’re Already There", Rebel, Sweetheart is poised to be the most focused and accomplished album of their career.

The Wallflower的这张专辑和他们上一张销量百万的Bring Down the Horse（放倒那匹马）有所不同，Jakob Dylan和他的乐队在风格上做个改变，他们用长时间的大音量吉他、嘎吱嘎吱的自我陶醉和陡然的急转代替了原先单刀直入的个人忏悔。Bring Down the Horse在销量上虽然取得了多白金的佳绩，但专辑的后半部分歌曲平淡无奇，甚至可以说是呆板，而Breach整张专辑做的相当精细，连一次失足都没有，简直是天衣无缝。
也许是因为Breach整体性太强，居然没有一支像Six Avenue Heartache（第六大街心痛）和One Headlight（一个前灯）这样能够脱颖而出的歌曲。最有可能成为热门歌曲的只能是Letters From the Wasteland（发自荒地的信），它那种平稳轻松的节奏令人想起Headlight，歌词神秘却又引人注目，合声汹涌澎湃，主唱强健有力。不过，现实中的首支单曲是Sleepwalker梦游者-这张专辑中节奏最快的歌曲，里面有着聪明的和声对唱，“丘比特，不要丢掉你的弓箭/Sam Cooke不知道我知道什么”。
虽然前制作人T Bone Burnett被长期经纪人Andy Slater（Fiona Apple，Macy Gray的经纪人）和艺术家Michael Penn所替代，但出现在上一张专辑中那些老炮们还是又回来了，特别是Heartbreaders的吉他手Mike Campbell和鼓手Matt Chambertain，他们为乐队温和的风格带来了更多的力量。键盘手Rami Jaffe的演奏也是至关紧要的，他自90年代初以来就一直在队中，他手下的Hammond B3所发出的厚重的混浊的声响很容易让人想起在Petty像Refugee那样的经典中Benmont Tench低吼的助阵

Red Letter Days是壁花合唱团2002年出的专辑。在中国知道The Wallflowers的人大概不多，知道Jakob Dylan的人就更少了。但是，知道Bob Dylan的人却不在少数，它们的关系是这样的：Bob Dylan的儿子是Jakob Dylan，Jakob Dylan是壁花合唱团的主唱。尽管关系是这样的，但是，在听壁花合唱团的音乐时不要把The Wallflowers或Jakob Dylan与Bob Dylan联系在一起，尽管他看上去很像他的父亲，尽管Jakob也像他的父亲一样抱着吉他。壁花合唱团立足洛杉矶，但音乐却源自纳什维尔、新奥尔良和新泽西，音乐风格也是乡村音乐、摇滚乐和民歌的融合体
