BBC 英国蓝调音乐发展史 (2009)

本记录片由Nigel Planer解说，向观众介绍了蓝调音乐是如何从美洲传到英国，并成为英国文化的一部分。(文：life_is_good@YDY)Blues Britannia: Can Blue Men Sing the Whites?Documentary telling the story of what happened to blues music on its journey from the southern states of America to the heart of British pop and rock culture, providing an in-depth look at what this music really meant to a generation of kids desperate for an antidote to their experiences of living in post-war suburban Britain.Narrated by Nigel Planer and structured in three parts, the first, Born Under a Bad Sign, focuses on the arrival of American blues in Britain in the late 50s and the first performances here by such legends as Muddy Waters, Sonnie Terry and Brownie McGhee.Part two, Sittin' on Top of the World, charts the birth of the first British blues boom in the early 60s, spearheaded by the Rolling Stones and groups such as the Yardbirds, Manfred Mann, the Animals and the Pretty Things.The final section, Crossroads, looks at the next, more hardcore British blues boom of the mid-to-late 60s, with guitarists Eric Clapton and Peter Green and the international dominance of their respective bands, Cream and Fleetwood Mac.Featuring archive performances and interviews with Keith Richards, Paul Jones, Chris Dreja, Bill Wyman, Phil May, John Mayall, Jack Bruce, Mick Fleetwood, Ian Anderson, Tony McPhee, Mike Vernon, Tom McGuinness, Mick Abrahams, Dick Taylor, Val Wilmer, Chris Barber, Pete Brown, Bob Brunning, Dave Kelly and Phil Ryan. 英国佬喜欢美国黑人根源布鲁斯，他们试图模仿着结果玩出了自己的一套节奏布鲁斯，后来越玩越快直到变成了自己独门独院的一套英国布鲁斯摇滚，骨髓滚石、the animals、bluesbreaker、Eric Clapton、Fleetwood Mac，最后是齐柏林飞艇"无论白人黑人都能演奏蓝调，只是白人不能与黑人感同身受，因为白人从未有奴隶的生活，没有人往他们脸上吐口水。“ 黑人音乐还是黑人演绎起来更纯粹更有味道。 音乐标签太多了实在驾驭无能，好音乐没有分类，好的音乐永远都不会过时。。。。。。你看他们都老了人人网字幕做的很好，但可能我不是很喜欢布鲁斯吧，但不得不说BBC做的节目真心都好赞。最后一段让我给它又加了一颗星。有一句话我很喜欢，人人都可以唱布鲁斯，白人也可以，只是他们没有做过奴隶，所以唱不出灵魂。然后白人自己创新了布鲁斯。差劲的地方是没有请到Jimmy Page Eric Clapton 和Peter Green,大概是这三位心高气傲不愿意被拘束在一种风格中，或者说还不想对自己的成就盖棺定论吧。19世纪20年代流行；来自底层的音乐；诉说与回应，可追溯到非洲部落的历史传统；布鲁斯不只是一种悲伤的音乐，它的12小节甚至很像笑话—
