*ギャラガー＆ライル。７０’ｓイギリスの天使ＰＯＰ部門の大将格のお二人です。このアルバムは６作目となる「ブレーカウエイ」。名前だけは昔から知ってはいたものの縁がありませんでした。それがまあ近所のゆにおんさんの中古レコ棚で端っこ切られたＬＰを大量発見。思わぬ値段だったもので思わず買っちゃって大はまり。思わばアナログ生活に再び半ば入道したのも英国チャートっていったいと深入りしたのも全部この人たちのせいだ。責任取って貰おう。中でも一番どーんと来ましたのがこの作品です。あれから色々あったなあ。聴きこんで時間を経て今再び感謝させてください。この二人とゆうとことごとく隠れた名盤扱い、ヒットなどとは無縁だとすっかり思い込んでましたが騙されてはいかん日本のロックマスコミ。ことこの盤に限っては３曲もＴＯＰ４０ヒット含むしかも２曲はベスト１０入りの人気ものでした。むろん英国でのお話ですけど。それ知ったら根っからのチャート好きなんで益々輝いて聞こえてきたりして。Ａ面Ｂ面がお二人それぞれの歌、リーダシップでくっきり分かれています。Ａ面はグラハム・ライル氏サイド（推定）。推定って(^0^)。これが問題だ。どっちがどっちだかわからなかったりして。どれかのアルバムに書いてあったかもしれんけど丸ごと聴いておったもんで区別が付きません。えらい失礼で申し訳ないけどご本人たちがわからんようにしてるのも確かなんで意思を尊重して・・・探ってしまおう。ジャケ写真左手の方がライルさんかと。何かが起こったのはまずこの人です。１曲目ブレーカウエイ。とんでも無い名曲を作ってしまいました。腹４分目、控え目なのはちいとも変わらん、今までもさんざ名曲作っては来たがこれは。あまりの魅力にアート・ガーファンクルさんを持って思わずカバー、アルバム・タイトルまでしてしまいました。それが丁度アート氏のソロ・キャリアの中でもブレークの時、収録曲「I Only Have Eyes For You」がイギリスで突然の大ヒットつう。これが風を呼んだんだな。続いて当然「ブレーカウエイ」もヒットと思いきや、憎いねイギリス国民、オリジナルがギャラガー＆ライルと知っていた。ちいともヒットさせず、少し間を置いてオリジナルをヒットさせ。それが最高位３５位(^0^)。ならもう少し上だろーと思うんだけどそれがまた彼の地の民の不思議さよ。アートさんのバージョンは基本的にまんまです。どこが違うかと言わばオリジナルはより地上に近く標高７００ｍくらい。生ギターの響きくっきり。お二人寄り添うように歌い、しびれちゃうのは一番目のサビで主旋律を歌わない。わざとためて２回目でこの美しいメロディを炸裂させてめろめろになっちゃうじゃないか。これ録音した段階では当然これほど話題になるとは予想付かなかったろうけど、何かを感じています。凄い曲をやってるとゆう喜びがびんびんこちらにも伝わって来る。聴けば立ち会えますその瞬間に。２．はそうだよこの人たちはフォーク・ディオだったんだと改めて感じますステイ・ヤング。１００年熟成もの。３．I Wanna Stay With You。これが最初のヒット、最高位何と６位です。ＡＯＲっていやそうかも。でもアメリカ産とは確実に違い。その違いは・・・・うーんとても言葉には。聴いて見てください。これまた来た来たーつう輝き有り。皆が聴いちゃう曲ってのは最初から何か備わってるのかと実感。４．Heart On My Sleeve。２番目のヒットです。最高位これも６位。外形は何てことない軽〜いレゲエ。しかし訳のわからん魅力あり。何と後にブライアン・フェリー氏がカバーしてヒット。リンゴ・スターさんもカバーした。みんな全然違うタイプ。透明なんでそれぞれはまっちゃうとゆう。こればっかはヒットしたのはご本人たちも意外だったかも。ライルさんサイドのラストはFifteen Summers。これがまた染みるよー。泣きたいほどのしっとりバラード。夏が終わる終わるー。そしてギャラガーさんサイド。これがまたガラっと雰囲気チェンジ。いきなし１０ｃｃもかくやのくんずほぐれつのプログレＰＯＰ世界に。この方にも何か起こったとみえ。ライルさんの名曲攻撃に俄然ファイト燃やしたか。声が少し引っ込んで塩辛気味、キャッチーさでは負けちゃうものの己のやり方で行く。７．If I Needed Someone。あははあれと同じ曲名。もちろんビートルズのとは違います。でも元アップルの専属ソングライターでしたから当然気持ちはあったかも。ラテン味の開放ソングでアコーディオンの響きがたまらんブリティッシュ。８．Storm in My Soul。ストレート直球メロディの闊歩ソング。ニュー・オリンズ味のピアノ有り。ヒットはどうかわからんけどギャラガー節のキャッチーさ満点なのだ。９．Rockwriterは丁度Ａ面の「ハート・オン・マイ〜」と対になるようなレゲエ。こちらは辛くてアーバン。スティーリー・ダン思い出すホーン・セクション、ギター・ソロはスライドとやられちゃうよ。ラスト「ノーザン・ガール」は元気満点アッパー・ソング。元気有るってことで驚いたりして。気合充満の証明だな。Ａ面はもうとろとろです。ハナから今に至るまでもう無条件でＫＯされっぱなし。Ｂ面は時間が経つに連れてどんどん見えて来る。これで駄目なら諦めますギャラガー＆ライル。あ、初期はまた全然違うか。諦めません。まだまだあります。でもこれ最高だよやっぱり。

SORRY,Mistranslation multi.
Gallagher & Lyle. It is a couple of the general case of angel POP section in 70's Britain. This album is "Breakaway" that becomes the sixth work. Name..for a long time..know..provide..have.It a large amount of discovers LP that was edge probably Ki in the vicinity tuning fork used Reco shelf. It instinctively buys by the one that was an unexpected price and a large fitting in. Because of these people all going deep into on earth in a British chart in the desire becoming a priest to the analogue life partly again. Let's have the responsibility removed. Retreating and having come no ｰ are this works. ..it was variously from that... Please let us wish to express our gratitude again in now through time for learning. It is a great board treatment where these two people and all are hidden, and if .... cheated in the conviction completely as without relation to the hit etc. , a lock mass communication in Japan that doesn't go. It contained and two was the TOP40 hit popular one of best 10 entering in even three when limiting it to the board of. Of course talking in Britain. It shines more and more by a natural favorite chart and is heard when knowing. A respect B respect has divided clearly by a song and a reader ship each couple. A respect is a Graham Rail side (presumption). Presumption is (^0^). This is a problem. Which whether either is not understood. The distinction doesn't adhere massaging it listening wholly though no do be known whether writing in any album. Esteeming the intention in the place where it is also certain to prevent persons in question from understanding though it is great, impolite, and it apologizes ･･･ Let's search. Is the left hand of the Jake photograph Rail?First of all, it is this person that something happened. The first breaker way. The famous piece of music that not is even if jumping has been made. Moderation during the fourth belly minute doesn't change, and this though it has come up to now when the Mr. sitting famous piece of music is made. Even the cover and the album title have been instinctively done with the art and Garfunkel in the charm of the remainder. Collection tune "I Only Have Eyes For You" at the break is sudden smash hit in Mr. art's solo career just in Britain. itDo not call the wind this. It was thought that "Breaker way" was a hit naturally because it continued and the hateful sleep British people and the original of ..finishing coming.. , knew Gallagher & Rail. Is not made to become a hit, and the original is made to become a hit after a short interval. It is the 35th place first rank (^0^). Then, it is a mystery of the people on his ground again though thought on a little more. Mr. art's version is basically the state as it is. Where is different, the original : so to speak near the ground or more by above sea level about 700m. The life guitar clearly ..the sound... Neither singing of the couple as drawing close nor becoming numb sings a main melody with the first Sabi. The second times, and is this beautiful melody made to explode and isn't there summons becoming .... straightening on purpose?I feel something though it might not have been with the expectation it is possible to come and get into the news naturally like this at the recorded stage. A terrible tune is transmitted, and it is pleased and transmits in. At the moment when it can attend it if you listen. 2. The people of are the stay young who feels that it was fork Dio because it renews. It is the ripe one for 100 years. 3.I Wanna Stay With You｡The sixth first rank how many place to which the first hit of this. AOR seem to be unpleasant?However, it differs surely from the United States. ････ the difference Well to the word. Please listen and look. This, and it is irradiative that came and came exists. All bending ..listening.. actually feels equipping something because of the beginning. 4.Heart On My Sleeve｡It is the second hit. First rank 6th place. Externals are light ?. ..saying.. reggae. However, there is a charm not to understand the translation. Bryan Ferry covers very much and it becomes a hit. Ringo Starr also covered. All different at all types. It is transparent and of each. Were persons in question unexpected? having become a hit only thisLast on the Rail side is Fifteen Summers. This permeates again. Soft ballade like wanting cry. Summer ends ..the end...
And, the Gallagher side. Gara atmosphere re-change of this. To getting untied Progress POP world of of none living 10cc. It sees it when something.. having happened this. Was fighting spirits ever more burnt the attack of Rail's famous piece of music?It goes by the way by yourself though the voice withdraws a little and of ..salted fish guts feeling.. obtaining is defeated. 7.If I Needed Someone｡The same name of a song as. Of course, it differs from Beatles's. However, were there naturally feelings because it was an exclusive songwriter of former Apple?British where sound of accordion doesn't collect in song of open of Latin taste. 8.Storm in My Soul｡Stalking song of straight straight ball melody. There is a piano about the New Orleans taste. It is ..Gallagher paragraph.. full marks ..obtaining.. though the hit is not understood please. 9. Rockwriter is reggae that just pairs with "Heart on my" in A respect. Here is painful and urban. The horn section and the guitar solo that recalls STEELY DAN are done to the slide. Last "Norzan girl" is energetic full marks upper song. I am surprised by that is energetically. No proof of the yell filling. A respect is already a pool and a furnace. It is doing of KO from Hana already unconditionally up to now. B respect comes into view fast as time passes. If it is useless in this, it is Gallagher & Rail given up. Is ..encounter.. the first stage of , also different at all?It doesn't give it up. It is still. However, ..being possible to come.. highest.
