乡村音乐
这是乡村音乐界苦等多年，足以“漫步云端”的“新声音”吗？

美国乡村榜六月传出新纪录，12岁的麻萨诸塞州春田〈Springfield〉城少女艾许莉〈Ashley Gearing〉以〈Can You Hear Me When I Talk To You？〉创下史上乡村榜“最年轻女歌手”纪录，改写了布兰达李〈Brenda Lee〉在1957年四月以单曲〈One Step At A Time〉保持46年的纪录，当年小布同样12岁，但已经接近13岁了，之后不论1972年Tanya Tucker初登场的〈Delta Dawn〉或是1996年黎安莱姆丝的〈Blue〉都已经是她们13、14岁的事情，这个纪录无疑让艾许莉一出道便深受各界注意。

诚如黎安当年〈Blue〉被后的感人故事〈歌曲原是作者要写给一代乡村天后Patsy Cline〉，艾许莉进军歌坛的〈Can You Hear Me When I Talk To You？〉则更具个人色彩，这是艾许莉献给已逝父亲David Gearing的心情歌曲，自然的唱腔流泻的款款思念深情，果然造成催泪轰动，最后小艾还感性地说了一句“I Miss You Daddy”，其实，艾许莉对她的生父非常陌生，因为艾许莉的爹早在她出生后十个月大就因脑瘤撒手人寰，“我对他的记忆很少，但我仍带着一种究竟父亲是怎么样的心情来诠释歌曲”，歌曲由Jimmy Harnen和Rick Manwiller〈两人组的乐团Synch〉合写，创作背景来自Jimmy的父亲逝世，写下有感而发的心情，而Jimmy现在是艾许莉新专辑的制作协力，他正是DreamWorks乡村部的宣传总监哩。

歌曲是已经在家乡和全美一半店台播放后，艾许莉才真正签下唱片合约，据USA Today七月音乐专栏对艾许莉大篇幅的报导指出，有五家乡村厂牌角逐签下艾许莉，最终Lyric Street Records〈隶属迪士尼，环球发行〉胜出；Billboard乡村榜总监Wade Jessen对此事件大感不可思议，他以“前所未见”来形容一首demo对排行榜造成的冲击，姑且不论歌曲最后的成绩如何，对艾许莉来说，她“以父之名”的初登场已成功跨出第一步，除了Boston Globe星期日特刊以半版报导艾许莉外，九月二日的美国网球公开赛决赛，艾许莉更将现场演美国国歌，在这些光环之前，艾许莉只有在电台做宣传，唯一的大型曝光是今年乡村界的Fan Fair。〈Can You Hear Me When I Talk To You？〉于电台播送后，许多电台纷纷接获大量回响，有些听友表示，歌曲让他们想到失去的亲人和感情，更甚者还要求能在告别典礼上播放歌曲。

艾许莉的官方网站有她在成长过程里学习音乐和歌唱的种种描述，她最大的心愿是希望听她唱歌的人们就像她一样能感到快乐，而要是能在麦迪逊广场有一场票都卖光光的个唱，那真是太好了！这位外型清秀甜美、带有慧黠气质的长发少女目前是春田Our Lady of Hope School的学生，官方网站已经可以试听多首新歌和一首名为〈Rush〉的演唱画面，美国版单曲则收录了由Richard Marx和创作伙伴Fee Waybill合作的〈I'm The Girl〉都推荐给大家。

由于我也加入小艾的mailing list，竟然意外收到她写的信，她先感谢我留资料，又问我怎么听到她的歌；之后我回答后，又收到她的来信，姑且不论是否来信的真是她本人，但用心是可以感受的到喔！最后补充一下，这首歌让我想到Selena的〈Dreaming Of You〉，有一些唱腔和意境，不管怎说，我爱上了这个“新声音”。
