小简介
当今加拿大乐坛人气最旺的乡村组合恐怕非The Wilkinsons莫属。这个由爸爸Steve(创作)、姊姊Amanda(主唱)与弟弟Tyler(主唱)所组成的安大略家族乐团,自1999年以首张专辑《Nothing But Love》与冠军单曲“26 Cents”出道以来,便挟一飞冲天的惊人声势,瞬间囊括了年度最佳单曲、专辑、歌曲、演唱团体、新人等五座加拿大乡村音乐奖,而收录了畅销单曲“Jimmy's Got A Girlfriend”的2000年乘胜追击之作《Here And Now》,更再接再厉拿下了加拿大乡村音乐协会的“最佳专辑”与朱诺奖的“最佳演唱组合”大奖,令他们迅速跻身超级巨星之列
Belleville, Ontario's Steve, Amanda, and Tyler Wilkinson have enjoyed tremendous success since the release of their first single, "26 Cents." The Wilkinsons' debut album, Nothing but Love, gained them some momentum and notoriety while projecting a wholesome, family image of father, daughter, and son. Award nominations began pouring in, including CMA's Horizon Award and Vocal Group of the Year and the Academy of Country Music Awards' nomination for Single of the Year. The 2000 release of Here and Now, their second album, won the trio accolades with the Canadian Country Music Association for Best Album. The smash single "Jimmy's Got a Girlfriend," featuring the vocals of a maturing Tyler, was the album's biggest success. Shine appeared in spring 2001.
