刚刚进入2006年,美国年轻的乡村男歌手乔什.特纳(Josh Turner)发行了第二张个人专辑《Your Man》,专辑在发行之后第一周在全美的销量达到十万两千张,名列本周美国Billboard 200专辑榜次席。相比3年前刚出道时的首张专辑《Long Black Train》,Josh Turner的这张《Your Man》提高的不只是在榜上的名次,其中的音乐确实也比首张专辑成熟了很多。
和大多数当代乡村男歌手标志性的甜美嗓音略显不同的是,Josh Turner的音色明显相对浑厚和低沉。Josh Turner的这一特点早在当年令他扬名的单曲《Long Black Train》中就表现得淋漓尽致,Josh Turner首张专辑《Long Black Train》中的这支同名主打单曲在当年的Billboard乡村单曲榜上名列第13位,而这首单曲的成功也直接促进了首张专辑《Long Black Train》的畅销。
如果说Josh Turner的首张专辑主要还是依靠个别成功的单曲在打拼的话,这张新作则完全是一张成型的专辑了。开篇第一首歌曲《Would You Go With Me》运用了很多新乡村一惯的特殊调旋演奏过门的技巧,通过跳跃的节奏给人带来活力。在浪漫如抒情诗一般的《No Rush》中,Josh Turner再次展示出他营造温馨气氛的功力。同样,作为一名乡村歌手,Josh Turner演绎轻松流畅的乡村小调的能力也相当了得,听了新专辑同名单曲《Your Man》之后你就会明白,Josh在这张专辑中表现出来的实力丝毫不逊于Toby Keith 和 Alan Jackson。
Your Man by Josh Turner
Baby lock the door and turn the lights down low Put some music on that’s soft and slow Baby we ain’t got no place to go I hope you understand
I’ve been thinking ’bout this all day long Never felt a feeling quite this strong I can’t believe how much it turns me on Just to be your man
There’s no hurry Don’t you worry We can take our time Come a little closer Lets go over What I had in mind
Baby lock the door and turn the lights down low Put some music on that’s soft and slow Baby we ain’t got no place to go I hope you understand
I’ve been thinking ’bout this all day long Never felt a feeling quite this strong I can’t believe how much it turns me on Just to be your man
Ain’t nobody ever love nobody The way that I love you We’re alone now You don’t know how Long I’ve wanted to
Lock the door and turn the lights down low Put some music on that’s soft and slow Baby we ain’t got no place to go I hope you understand
I’ve been thinking ’bout this all day long never felt a feeling that was quite this strong I can’t believe how much it turns me on Just to be your man I Can’t believe how much it turns me on Just to be your man
