The Best Of Al Stewart

艾尔史都华(Al Stewart) 发行于1990年的精选集。是他发行最早也是质量最高的一张精选。 曾经长发飘逸，英俊迷人的苏格兰民谣歌手艾尔史都华(Al Stewart)，以其知性而从容的演唱风格，在上世纪七十年代的英国民谣领域独树一帜。在他的歌声里，你可以感受到中产阶级白人特有的自负和嬉皮士的处世态度，而歌曲的主体，是总也离不开自省、敏感、浪漫和忏悔这样的内容。这是上一代人的声音，虽然没有披头士和保罗 西蒙那样如雷贯耳，却也能使你如同沐浴在伦敦的细雨中。如今的史都华已经是个略微发福的老人了，他现在沉迷于红酒收藏，在他举办的酒会上，还能看到他怀抱吉他，唱着曾经打动无数歌迷的温柔歌谣。 There are several Stewart compilation CD's out there, and this was one of the first, but it remains one of the best. It mixes his historical sagas and his soft rock relationship songs in a sensible manner. If you are a fan, no one disc will have ALL your favorites. I would have liked to hear "If It Doesn't Come Naturally, Leave It" on this offering, probably in the place of "Midnight Rocks." However, this CD contains "Delia's Gone", one of Al's nicest "love is lost" compositions, and that track is indeed hard to find on CD. Otherwise, this has his biggest hits and his most interesting cerebral songs, too.
