专辑介绍:
60年代末,和当时很多的青年一样,在被Dylan, Donovan,Bert Jansch, Jackson C.Frank等民谣歌手感召后,一位名叫Leo O'Kelly的爱尔兰青年开始了自己的民谣歌手生涯。1969年,他在都柏林的民谣俱乐部中遇见了Sonny Condell,并被他出色的作曲才华所深深吸引。第二年,TIR NA NOG成立O'Kelly和Condell搬到伦敦,当时他们两人身上的钱加起来总共只有30磅,只够维持一个月的生活。但就在这一个月里所做好的小样就让他们得到Chrysalis Records的一纸合约,并开始了英国和欧洲巡演,巡演阵容包括The Who Cat Stevens, T.Rex, Roxy Music, Elton John, The VelvetUnderground等等著名艺人和团体。
1971年,同名专辑正式发行。一张光芒会随时间越发夺目的民谣经典开首的Time Is Like A Promise是Condell作曲才华的最完美体现,完美的展现了一首经典民谣歌曲所具有的魔力。Our Love Will NotDecay则是Condell另一首难以令人忘怀的杰作。O'Kelly的才情体现在同名曲TIR NA NOG和boat song上。只要细细听过一遍便能发现O'Kelly和Condell歌曲的不同之处。Condell更像一个"现代"的songwriter,歌曲更能博得普通听众的共鸣,而O'Kelly受传统民谣的影响更深,在情绪和气质上也偏向迷幻/嬉皮的一面。正是两人作曲风格的这些不同让TIR NA NOG更为的耐听。有很多人把他俩比作了爱尔兰的Simon & Garfunkel。但TIR NA NOG比起中产阶级folk-pop的始作俑者显得更内敛,真诚些。虽然早期的Simon & Garfunkel也像个孩子般笑容灿烂,歌曲中也时不时流露出年轻人特有的多愁善感,但他俩毕竟是来自唱片工业发达的美国,谁会没有明星梦呢?后面的两张专辑TIR NA NOG也有所转变,乐器增多,音乐也变得讨巧了些许,像同名专辑那般直击人心的超然魅力已然不在。不过,TIR NANOG有此一张专辑也已足够,在其中,他们早已留下永恒的青春。正如TIR NA NOG这个名字所蕴含的意思:“永远年轻之地”(资料来源于网络)
Although they only lasted five years, Tir Na Nog managed to make their brief time in existence count, and fans of '70s folk still sing their praises warmly. Formed in Dublin in 1969, the duo of Sonny Condell and Leo O'Kelly were making the right music at the right time. Although influenced by traditional music, their compositions followed the singer/songwriter bent of the time, and the blend of two voices and two guitars did their material justice, light, airy, and thoroughly engaging, with bits of tabla and exotica -- although definitely not as quirky as contemporaries Dr. Strangely Strange. However, it wasn't until 1971 that they issued their eponymous debut, which put them firmly in the same territory as Fairport Convention, Magna Carta, and Fotheringay -- in other words, on the fringes, although they proved popular with a number of BBC disc jockeys, including John Peel, who played their work on the radio. It certainly helped that they toured a great deal, moving between the folk clubs and more lucrative college circuit, where they created a decent following, seemingly in a constant support slot. However, the exposure wasn't enough to really boost them into the second division, let alone the top league, in spite of the crowd sing-along favorite "Aberdeen Angus" always being requested. When the acoustic angle didn't bring stardom, the pair decided to go for a more conventional route, moving more toward rock for 1972's A Tear and a Smile, which proved to be neither fish nor fowl, but remained with one foot tentatively in folk, the other in rock, as if trying to be all things to all men -- and failing. The following year came Strong in the Sun, by which time they'd decided to be more of a rock band fronted by two singers with acoustic guitars -- a pretty fair compromise. Their best-known disc, it was produced by former Procol Harum member Matthew Fisher, and contained "Free Ride," which became their signature song. The record raised their profile, but still couldn't break them through to the other side, and in 1974 they split up, with Condell going on to form Scullion. Over the years they have got back together for occasional Tir Na Nog shows, one 1995 gig being commemorated on Live at the Hibernian, recorded in Birmingham, England, although the sound quality was execrable, and not worthy of commercial release.
