专辑介绍： 一张向Tom Waits致敬的翻唱专辑,歌手资料不详 Tom Waits 一九四九年十二月七日生於加州西南部的波姆那(Pomona)的汤姆‧威兹，在七~年代创作出结合关注分离状态、低收入生活人民的作品，并以他沙哑的嗓音娓娓道出这些边缘世界。八~年代起，他增加了在戏剧方面的活动，包括演出和作曲。在南加州长大的汤姆‧威兹引起贺伯‧柯恩﹝Herb Cohen，他同是时也是法兰克‧查帕(Frank Zappa)的经纪人﹞的注意，并在七~年代初签下了他。汤姆‧威兹正式首张专辑为一九七三年在Asylum唱片公司发行的的《Closing Time》，这张收录了单曲〈Ol' 55〉的作品在当时和老鹰合唱团(The Eagles)的《On the Border》专辑共同宣传，自此，汤姆‧威兹引起乐评和次文化听眾的注意，他接下来的作品包括了《The Heart of Saturday Night》(1974)、《Nighthawks at the Diner》(1975)、《Small Change》(1976)、《Foreign Affairs》(1977)、《Blue Valentine》(1978)及《Heart Attack and Vine》(1980)。 一九八三年，汤姆‧威兹转到Island唱片公司，发行了《Swordfishtrombones》，在这张专辑中，汤姆‧威兹尝试了管乐和打击乐器，并以不同的录音技术製作完成。八五年《Rain Dogs》发行；八七年，根据汤姆‧威兹去年的首部舞台剧製作的专辑发行；八八年，《Big Time》专辑发行，并同时推出了一部影片，是他的演唱会之一的纪录。九二年，《Bone Machine》发行，并获得葛莱美奖(Grammy Award)最佳另类音乐专辑。九三年，《The Black Rider》发行，这张音乐剧专辑是九~汤姆‧威兹和另类小说家威廉‧贝罗斯(William Burroughs)合著，是为歌剧导演劳勃‧威尔森(Robert Wilson)所写的。在一段长时间的音乐空白后，汤姆‧威兹於九八年推出了《Beautiful Maladies》，为他在Island唱片公司所发表过的作品的回顾，而至九九年才终於发行专辑《Mule Variations》。 七~ 年代晚期，汤姆‧威兹开始参与电影工作，首先是为《Paradise Alley》担纲作曲，并在戏中演奏钢琴；之后为《On the Nickel》(1980)编写主题曲。八~年代初，汤姆‧威兹开始与柯波拉(Francis Ford Coppola)合作，先是在《旧爱新欢》(One from the Heart, 1982)中担任配乐及幕后主唱，并获得奥斯卡提名。在这段工作期间，他和剧作家凯萨琳‧布雷南(Kathleen Brennan)相识，并结为连理，夫妇俩后来在工作上亦常搭挡。自《旧爱新欢》开始，汤姆‧威兹便成为柯波拉电影的常客，计有《小教父》(The Outsiders, 1983)中的一线角色(酒吧老闆)、《斗鱼》(Rumblefish, 1983)裏的班尼、《棉花俱乐部》裏的Irving Stark等。纵使常在大製作的电影中饰演疯子或精神病患者，汤姆‧威兹仍偏爱参与独立製片，贾木许的《法外之徒》就是他相当珍爱的一次演出经验。 八七年起，汤姆‧威兹开始参与一些主流电影，首先是《紫苑草》(Ironweed)，与杰克‧尼克逊(Jack Nicholson)和梅莉‧史翠普(Meryl Streep)同台；同年，又参与了《Candy Mountain》；八九年则是在《Bearskin: An Urban Fairytale》、《Cold Feet》、《Wait until Spring》中露脸；九~年参加了劳勃‧阿特曼(Robert Altman)的《银色、性、男女》(Short Cuts)。九一年参与的计有《Queens' Logic》、《奇幻城市》(The Fisher King)及《At Play in the Fields of the Lord》。九二年，他又分别在老朋友柯波拉的《吸血鬼》(Bram Stoker's Dracula)和贾木许的《地球之夜》中轧上一角。 多才多艺的汤姆‧威兹在镜头前后，都是个多姿多采、以冷幽默性格著称的独特之人，他的许多歌曲不论是大剌剌地宣告或在音乐风格上的暗示，也都在反映他自身对电影的喜好，甚至「身体力行」，此番作为著实是歌坛、影坛的一个异数。 Claudia Bettinaglio sings the blues of Tom Waits. Or: a new blues voice explores the worlds of a genius songwriter who occupies a one-of-a-kind position in the present musical world. The fact that this exceptional appreciation of his work has come to the Californian singer and songwriter rather late in his career makes it all the more remarkable. Setting new record ticket prices for audiences on his most recent tour of Europe is also part of the picture but has contributed to the fact that even the cultural establishment is taking notice of this man's maverick work. A man who has somehow become the beatnik freak figure he once created for himself. Tom Waits is a fascinating artist for many - including Claudia Bettinaglio. Claudia Bettinaglio sings rock, r & b, blues, jazz and the like. Her singing voice is full and round and drenched in blues feeling. Hearing her sing one does not imagine easily that she is indeed a young woman from Switzerland with an Italian family background and that SAVING ALL MY LOVE is her coming out album as a solo artist. Yes indeed, Claudia Bettinaglio is a new and very exciting voice from the heart of Europe. This album pays homage not only to one man's singular songwriting art but also documents a singer's personal fascination for the depth of his work. A fascination that has turned into an intense and practical confrontation with a set of immaculate songs. This journey includes songs from a time span of almost thirty years. Every period of Tom Waits' writing is included � from "Ice Cream Man" (1973) to "Cold Water" (1999). Claudia Bettinaglio is a surely fan, but she does not try to imitate what cannot be imitated. With her powerful, melodic voice she puts her own stamp on these songs and proves how well this material � that is so much marked by the creator's very original voice � lends itself to new interpretations. After having digested this set of fourteen songs it's clear � Claudia Bettinaglio knows what she's doing... Here's how SAVING ALL MY LOVE came about: First of all, the project was made a reality for HERMAN's who's label heads were more than impressed when they first heard this young singer on stage of the Lazy Poker Blues Band. Claudia got an exclusive deal which enables her to realize the Tom Waits' project in Nashville, Tennessee, assisted by a more than competent group of good friends and colleagues. After having chosen the repertoire and those to be involved in this project, everyone met in Music City, USA. Not only the capital of country music, of course, but a great place to record a roots music record with a feeling, so to speak. Players included the always masterful Fred James (guitars), "Amazing Rhythm Ace" Jeff Davis (electric bass), Bob Kommersmith (acoustic bass), Billy Earheart (organ), Steve Herman (trumpet), Dennis Taylor (sax), Steve Conn (accordion) and last but not least, Irishman Liam Genockey � formerly drummer with the sadly missed Buick 6. Produced by blues expert Mary-Ann Brandon, this album came to be quickly. It really is an album that should establish Claudia Bettinaglio as one of the most interesting new voices from Europe and a Waits interpreter of special ablity. A short look back into this singer's personal history: despite her father's fascination for bel canto singing, the attractive young lady decides to get singing lessons only at the late age of 25. But she soon attracts the attention of Swiss blues cracks and Lazy Poker stalwarts Cla Nett and Stephan Pulver. They decide to throw Claudia into the deep end at one of their gigs at the Blue Monday club in Freiburg, Germany. She delivers what is expected and the audience's enthusiastic reaction amazes Nett & Co. Practically overnight, Claudia Bettinaglio becomes the lead singer of Switzerland's most popular electric blues combo. She stays until late 1997. What follows is a period of transition with contributions to a number of projects featuring Swiss artists like Dänu Siegrist, Martin Graf/Boutflower or Giorgio Libera. About time for SAVING ALL MY LOVE - the first project under her own name. From the beginning it's clear to all involved: the stakes for re-interpretations of Tom Waits' songs are pretty high these days. The initial goal lies in finding a convincing and one-of-a-kind approach. Claudia Bettinaglio decides on doing what she knows best � singing the blues. A music which happens to be one of the cornerstones of Tom Waits' musical palette. On SAVING ALL MY LOVE Claudia Bettinaglio and her musicians combine a rather diverse mix of styles. Whereas the original versions tend to feature somewhat eccentric players like guitarist Marc Ribot, this project relies upon the Telecaster skills of Fred James, who really breathes some life into the arrangements on all of these tracks. Earthy blues chords, soulful slide playing, sensitive dobro licks � it doesn't really matter what is required. Fred James delivers it all, always playing for the song, always supporting the voice of Claudia Bettinaglio. Who really is the center of attention, of course. Hers is a voice that enfolds in deeply felt blues shadings and a natural ability to project. With this fully rounded vocal attack Claudia Bettinaglio is the real focal point of this album. It's a record that includes late night blues ballads, swinging shuffles, cajun atmospheres, jazzy trumpet solos and great midtempo R'n'B grooves. In a way, SAVING ALL MY LOVE bares the straight blues soul of many of these songs. Where the originals tend to be left of center and eccentric, these new interpretations offer more straight but no less inspired versions of Tom Waits' blues material. http://www.taxim.com/images/bettinaglio1.jpg 专辑曲目: 01.
