今天为大家带来的是这首来自REDNEX乐队的经————典舞曲《Cotton Eye Joe》
在很久很久以前,一名瑞典知名音乐制作人派特瑞芮斯(PatReniz)心怀大志,企图想改变人们对于舞曲的观念,于是他收拾行囊打算长途远征寻找他的“圣杯”。
派特的直觉将他引领至他祖先的发源地即美国伊达荷州的布诺科佛罗城,这座城带给他许多历史的存记及灵感,种种的回溯及热情更坚定了他此趟将不虚此行。在一个星期六的夜晚,他被邀请参加“布诺科佛罗谷仓舞会”,在这个日常的舞会中也奠定了他此行最丰硕的收获。这场舞会是一场嘉年华会,当晚的最高潮是当地的五人乐团演出,这五人团体是由MARYJOE(主唱)、KEN TACKY(BANJO/主唱及斑鸠琴)、BILLIE RAY及BOBBY SUE(小提琴手)及BILLYBOY STIFF(鼓手)所组成。
在群众的欢呼及叫嚣中,派特断定这五个人就是他所要找的人,于是他把这五人签下来并取名REDNEX,这个团名纯粹是因为这五人在阳光下工作时脖子上所留下的晒斑而取的。
