2006年冬天，乡村女歌手泰勒史薇芙特(Taylor Swift)推出她的首支单曲，以当红乡村巨星提姆·麦克罗(Tim McGraw)的名字当作标题，引起广大的注意，也打进了乡村排行前十名。另人惊奇的是,Taylor Swift不但是歌曲的作者,她首张同名专辑里面的所有歌曲也都是她亲自参与谱写的,而当时他才十五岁。
2008年，甜美乡村小天后归来，发行个人第二张个人专辑《Fearless》，延续之前的清新乡村风。

Three years ago, a 13-year old Taylor Swift set out to be a star and moved from Reading, Pennsylvania, to Nashville. By 14, she had a publishing deal, and by 15, a recording contract. In these days of Bianca Ryan (and before her, Tanya Tucker and LeAnn Rimes), many are called, but few are chosen. Swift, it appears, is one of the chosen ones. Her vocal talent is modest, though sweetly affecting, her style seemingly influenced by the radio hits of early Sheryl Crow and Michelle Branch, and perhaps Cyndi Thomson. And at times, her youthfulness shows--she encoded messages in the lyrics of her CD booklet, starting with the name of the boy who cheated on her from "Should've Said No" (the album's strongest offering). But in writing or co-writing all 11 songs on this debut, Swift demonstrates remarkable maturity, particularly in crafting a hooky, radio-ready chorus. Though she sounds ridiculous looking back from the perspective of an 87-year old woman on "Mary's Song," to her credit she mostly writes about what she knows--unrequited high-school crushes ("Teardrops on My Guitar"), teenage angst ("Tied Together with a Smile"), and complete immersion in starry-eyed romance (her breakout hit "Tim McGraw"). Swift has such wistful charm and tunefulness that only a curmudgeon could dismiss her, and in fact, more than 60,000 fans lined up to grab this CD the first month of release. No wonder Rascal Flatts and George Strait added her to their tours. Look out, Carrie Underwood--there's a new kid in town. --Alanna Nash

Bob Dylan这个名字让你想到什么？一张忧郁的脸孔、一副沧桑的嗓音、唱着反战歌曲，没错，就是他！Bob Dylan，原名Robert Allen Zimmerman，出生于1941年5月24日的美国明尼苏达州Duluth市。他深受美国现代民谣之父Woody Guthrie的影响，并且在其它方面如腔调、服装、姿态等等也都无不模仿Woody的神情。
Dylan被传奇制作人John Hammond发掘后，便开始连续录制了好几张非常具有政治意识的民谣抗议歌曲，这样的大胆作风旋即冲击了当时的乐坛，当然也立刻获得各方评论界的一致赞扬。甚至在当时整个乐坛已逐渐被类似Beatles的英国歌手占领之时，Bob Dylan却都还能在排行榜上占有一席之地，更加证明了他在当时确实激励了无数的青年开始拿起吉他唱出属于他们世代的民歌。
Dylan写出了大量的优秀作品，他的歌曲成为民权和反战运动的圣歌，像《随风飘逝》Blowin in the Wind 和《大雨将至》A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall这样的抗议歌曲，有像传统的《科里纳，科里纳》Corrina Corrina和以传统为基础的《来自北部乡村的女孩》Cirl from the North Country这样的爱情歌曲，还有像《我将会自由》（I Shall Be Free）这样的滑稽歌曲。迪伦成了民谣摇滚英雄。
Bob Dylan创立了全新的民间摇滚风格，提高了歌词的内涵和品味，改变了摇滚乐原来那种低俗的趣味，他通过深厚、丰富的、完全诗化的抒情化了的歌曲的主题，使听众随着音乐表现出来的原始冲击力感悟到了摇滚乐的那种容易被忽略掉的神韵。他那略显忧郁的、鼻音浓重的粗犷音质，很容易让听众识别。那强劲而粗放的、几乎不加修饰的吉它弹奏，则融入了布鲁斯音乐的精致风韵。
Bob Dylan的歌常常简单得让人吃惊，只有一把吉他加上个口琴。但也正因为这些方面的原因，人们在唱他的歌时觉得更加亲切随意。当你听厌了某些肤浅的歌词、无病呻吟的矫情……你可以回过头来，寻找一些真诚而有个性的、简单而附着灵魂的音乐来听，那么Bob Dylan的音乐应该是你的首选。
这是一张偏向乡村音乐的专辑，也是Dylan从六十年代末至七十年代处那段事业低估的开端。虽然这长专辑非议不断，但那只是对于Dylan而言的，人们对他的期望太高了。要是仅仅从一张专辑来说的话，这张绝不会比任何一位乡村歌曲大师的成名之作差。

Neil Young has announced the release of Live At The Cellar Door.
The latest edition of Young's Archives Performance Series is released on December 9 via Reprise Records.
Included on the album are songs recorded during Young's six-show residency at The Cellar Door in Washington DC between November 30 and December 2, 1970, following the August release of After The Gold Rush.
Included on the album is a solo piano-led version of 'Cinnamon Girl', solo performances of Buffalo Springfield's 'Expecting To Fly', 'I Am A Child' and 'Flying On The Ground Is Wrong'
The album was recorded by Henry Lewy and produced by Young, and will be released digitally, on CD and on 180g vinyl mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and pressed at Pallas in Germany.

Silver & Gold is the twenty-fourth studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young, released on April 25, 2000. Many of these songs were written in the late 1990s, though the song "Silver & Gold," which by his own estimation, he had been trying to get "the take" for around ten years, was written in 1981.

The Basement Tapes is a studio album by Bob Dylan and The Band, released in 1975 by Columbia Records.
Most of the album was actually recorded eight years earlier, in the basement of a house shared by the musicians. As Bob Dylan recovered from a near-fatal motorcycle accident during 1967, he called on The Band to help him experiment with themes of traditional folk music and Americana; these explorations, and their possible links with the earlier Anthology of American Folk Music, are explored in Invisible Republic by author Greil Marcus.
The sessions laid the foundation both for the approach of Dylan's 1967 album John Wesley Harding, and for the Band finding their own voice on 1968's Music From Big Pink. The Dylan LP, a critically-acclaimed departure from the surrealist rock and roll he had recently pioneered on his milestone trio of albums from 1965 and 1966, was as much of a shock to his fans as were those records to his earlier folk audience. Both it and Music From Big Pink would greatly influence the turn, by many contemporary popular musicians, away from the psychedelic music that reached its height in 1967, toward an embrace of country-influenced folk styles.
Material from the sessions had been heavily bootlegged since 1968, with the most famous being 1969's Great White Wonder. It wasn't until Dylan's comeback with Blood on the Tracks in 1975 that any of it was officially released, and The Basement Tapes was welcomed with high praise from fans and critics. Compiled by Robbie Robertson, the album features new songs and many overdubs made by The Band long after the original sessions. More complete and authentic documents of the 1967 tapes have since surfaced and are traded by fans, while the later Band tracks have appeared as bonus tracks on CD reissues of their proper albums.
The Basement Tapes peaked at #7 in 1975 on Billboard's (North America) Pop Albums chart and reached #8 in the UK. In 2003, the album was ranked number 291 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

专辑介绍:
1966年的一月一日，赛门与葛芬柯（Simon & Garfunkel）的「The Sound of Silence」登上了全美冠军的宝座，不但轰动歌坛，也展开了一段传奇。虽然他们在1971年就宣告分手，总共只留下五张录音室专辑，但是却都被公认是流行音乐史上的经典，两人更被推崇为二十世纪最优秀、也最令人难忘的二重唱组合。三十年来，他们的这些经典持续的在市场上受到各种年龄层的歌迷所喜爱，唱片公司更不断的以不同包装的精选集重新发行，依然大受欢迎。随着新世纪的到来，台湾新力唱片全面发行旗下大牌艺人的「世纪典藏」系列，其中包括了这套在1999年由英国方面编辑、两张一套的赛门与葛芬柯超级精选「来自纽约的故事」（Tales from New York）。不过，为了配合系列的发行，他们把这套精选的中文标题改为「赛门与葛芬柯世纪典藏」。
纽约，是全世界最迷人的大都会之一，也是个各种文化齐聚一堂的大熔炉，充满了複杂至极的多样化面貌与风情，从最富裕的到最穷困的、最上流的到最下流的、最优雅的到最粗俗的，全部都可以在这个人称「大苹果」的都市里面看到。而即使它有着某些让外人觉得相当可怕的黑暗面，对於当地的居民来说，它仍然是个最可爱的家园。人文薈萃的纽约，出了许多优秀的艺人，只要可能，他们都不会忘记在自己的作品中抒发自己对这个城市的複杂感情。但是，能够被大眾公认为「最能代表纽约」的，其实并不算多，而赛门与葛芬柯就是其中的翘楚。

Columbia Records announced today that Bob Dylan's new studio album, Shadows In The Night, will be released on February 3, 2015. Featuring ten tracks, the Jack Frost-produced album is the 36th studio set from Bob Dylan and marks the first new music from the artist since 2012’s worldwide hit Tempest.
Upon Columbia’s announcement of the album’s forthcoming release, Bob Dylan commented, “It was a real privilege to make this album. I've wanted to do something like this for a long time but was never brave enough to approach 30-piece complicated arrangements and refine them down for a 5-piece band. That's the key to all these performances. We knew these songs extremely well. It was all done live. Maybe one or two takes. No overdubbing. No vocal booths. No headphones. No separate tracking, and, for the most part, mixed as it was recorded. I don't see myself as covering these songs in any way. They've been covered enough. Buried, as a matter a fact. What me and my band are basically doing is uncovering them. Lifting them out of the grave and bringing them into the light of day.”
As Columba Records Chairman Rob Stringer explains, “There are no strings, obvious horns, background vocals or other such devices often found on albums that feature standard ballads. Instead, Bob has managed to find a way to infuse these songs with new life and contemporary relevance. It is a brilliant record and we are extremely excited to be presenting it to the world very soon.”
