艺人介绍

考林·布伦斯通（Colin Blunstone），这个名字是不是让你觉得有点陌生？但如果你对60年代那著名的“不列颠入侵”（British Invasion）有所了解的话，相信你一定会记得一支名为 “僵尸”（The Zombies）的乐队，做为这次运动的中坚力量，他们曾经和“甲壳虫”（The Beatles）、“滚石”（The Rolling Stone）等乐队一起成功的在美国掀起一场英伦风暴，可惜的是这样一支非常有潜力的乐队最终却因为内部问题而在成立短短几年后便解散，实在让人为之惋惜。据说他们各分东西后，在美国居然还有人不断冒他们之名到处演出，且大受欢迎，而在民谣界享用盛誉的“飞鸟”（The Byrds）在定义自我创作时也曾经说过有11%的灵感来自“僵尸”的音乐，从这两点也可以看出在当时“僵尸”确实是一支非常受人欢迎的乐队。而布伦斯通正是这支乐队的主唱。

在乐队于1967年解散之后，不甘心当流星的布伦斯通还是继续重操旧业，开始其单飞的旅途，伴随着优雅的巴洛克风格，Colin Blunstone于1971、1972和1974年分别创造了三张凄艳绝美的经典之作《One Year》、《Ennismore》、《Journey》。

As the lead singer of the Zombies, Blunstone was one of the greatest 60s rock vocalists, pacing the groups minor-key masterpieces with his inimitable choked and breathy vocals. After retiring from the business briefly in the late 60s (to work in the insurance industry, of all things), he went solo in the early 70s with a string of interesting pop/rock albums that were more of an extension of the late Zombies sound than the more well-known work of Argent, the other Zombies spin-off act. The Zombies connection is hardly incidental; chief Zombie songwriters Rod Argent and Chris White gave Blunstone some songs, as did Argent member Russ Ballard, though Blunstone penned much of his material himself. With their moody melodies and Baroque touches of muted keyboards, classical guitars, and inventive string arrangements, his early-70s albums sometimes sounded like a mellower take on the direction the Zombies pursued with their pop-psychedelic masterwork Odessey and Oracle. Blunstone managed some small British hits with How Could We Dare Be Wrong, I Dont Believe in Miracles, and the Top 20 single Say You Dont Mind, a cover of a tune written and recorded by Denny Laine after he left the Moody Blues and before he joined Wings. Blunstones first album, One Year (1971), was his best, though the follow-ups Ennismore and Journey also had their moments.
