Country Boy-Alan Jackson

 曾创下3000万张惊人销售纪录，有“乡村先生”雅称的Alan Jackson,Alan Jackson是继Garth Brooks之后，90年代最著名的乡村音乐男歌手，他完整的继承了80年代的新传统主义运动。这位倍受歌迷喜爱的乡村男歌手谦虚而朴实，他擅长自己创作并演唱歌曲，唱法朴实自然，音乐富有深意，他一共拥有着20多首冠军单曲以及更多的前十名单曲。 作为90年代以来美国乡村音乐界最成功的男歌手之一，阿兰?杰克逊（Alan Jackson）相当高产，尤其是近几年，他几乎在以每年一张的速度发着专辑，但这并不妨碍歌迷们对他的热情。本周，Alan Jackson刚刚发行的新作《Good Time》凭借上市第一周11万9千张的销量成为本周Billboard 200专辑榜的冠军，成为Alan Jackson在公告牌专辑榜当中的第四张冠军唱片。在最近几周的热门乡村单曲榜中，主打单曲《Small Town Southern Man》不断上升，目前已经攀升到了亚军位置。Alan Jackson的上一张正式专辑是2006年的《Like Red on a Rose》，发行首周的销量比《Good Time》略高，达到14万9千张，获得了Billboard 200专辑榜的第四名。

　　虽然Alan Jackson近几年的专辑很多，但这些专辑并没有固守着传统的乡村道路，他一直在探索新的音乐风格。2006年的《Precious Memories》是Alan Jackson的一张福音歌曲专辑，而同年推出的另一张《Like Red on a Rose》（兰草女歌手Alison Krauss制作）则是一张以安静情歌为主的专辑，就连2004年那张《What I Do》也不能代表Alan Jackson乡村的一面。因此，这张《Good Time》就是Alan Jackson的一张回归之作，尽管他从未离开过。首支单曲《Small Town Southern Man》、回忆自己年轻时代的《1976》以及和乡村女歌手Martina McBride合唱的《Never Loved Before》都是最典型的Alan Jackson式的乡村歌曲。这张《Good Time》告诉我们，大家最熟悉的那个Alan Jackson回来了This is the official music video for Alan Jackson\''s new song Good Time.

excuse me mamam, I saw you walk in
I turned around, I am not a stalker
where you goin? maybe I can help you
my tank is full, and I would be obliged to take you

cause I am a country boy, I have got a 4 wheel drive
pile in my bed, I can take you for a ride
up city streets, down country roads
I can get ya where you need to go
cause I am a country boy

you sure look good, sitting in my right seat
buckle up, I will take you through the five speeds
wind it up, or I can slow it way down
in the woods or right uptown

I am a country boy, I have got a 4 wheel drive
pile in my bed, I can take ya for a ride
up city streets, down country roads
I can get ya where you need to go
cause I am a country boy

big 35 s whining on the asphalt
grabbing mud, and slinging up some red dirt
cause I am a country boy

my mufflers loud, dual thrush tubes
I crank the music, the tone gets real good
let me know when we are getting close
you can slide on out, or we can head on down the road

cause I am a country boy, I have got a 4 wheel drive
pile in my bed, I can take ya for a ride
up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you need to go
cause I am a country boy

bucket seats, soft as babys new butt
locking hubs, that will take ya through a deep rut

cause I am a country boy, I have got a 4 wheel drive
pile in my bed, I can take ya for a ride
up city streets, down country roads
I can get ya where you need to go
cause I am a country boy
