专辑介绍
by Mark Deming
Dwight Twilley's first album, Sincerely, opens with &I'm On Fire&, a pop tune so unstoppable that it became a Top 20 single even though Twilley and his partner Phil Seymour didn't have an album to go with it when it hit radio in the spring of 1975. It would be close to a year before Sincerely finally emerged, after sessions at London's Trident Studio were scrapped in favor of material recorded in Twilley's hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Commercially, the decision was nearly fatal to Twilley's career momentum, but it's hard to argue with what he and Seymour came up with; with the two handling nearly all the vocals and instruments themselves, they crafted a power pop masterpiece, one that merged their Anglophile leanings with the Southern roots of rock and roll better than any of their contemporaries (including Big Star, who never seemed as comfortable with Memphis soul as they were with Liverpool pop). While nothing on the album quite matches the genius of &I'm On Fire& (what does?), the rest of the album is a consistently impressive, nodding towards a number of rock and roll touchstones while sounding confidently original at all times; the Raspberries-on-downs glide of &Baby, Let's Cruise&, the loping updated rockabilly of &T.V.&, the funky groove of &Feeling In The Dark&, the Searchers-esque jangle of &Three Persons& and the broken-hearted melancholy of &I'm Losing You& could each be the work of a different band, but the strength of Twilley's songwriting and Seymour's versatile vocal chops bring a welcome unity to these many shades of pop perfection. While Twilley and Seymour would both enjoy long careers with a certain degree of success, neither ever made an album quite as good as Sincerely -- though they came close.

- @yjjqgjx：年4月他们推出了第一首单曲“I\'m On Fire\",最终进入了Billboard的Top 20,也确立他们根源摇滚的音乐风格。1976年8月推出了他们的首张专辑《Sincerely》,这张专辑全面展现了乐队非凡的能力：伟大的歌曲，创造性的编排，杰出的和声，无可挑剔的表现，与Big Star和Badfinger一起描绘出了一张那个时代的风情画。 他们的歌，越听越像甲壳虫，不拖泥带水，不故作深刻，音乐很流行也很耐玩味。
- @yjjqgjx：好久没听到这么优秀的作品了，再一次对自己的孤陋寡闻汗颜。 16岁的Dwight Twilley (keyboards, vocals)1967年在家乡俄克拉荷马的塔尔萨的一家电影院观看The Beatles的A Hard Day\'s Night的时候认识了15岁的Phil Seymour (drums, bass, vocals), 两人决定组一支乐队，最初的队名叫Oister。所有的歌由Dwight Twilley创作，同时他们请来了有吉它神童之称的Bill Pitcock IV，乐队最终定名为Dwight Twilley Band。
