You Won’t See Me Crying 选自英国创作型歌手 Kiki Dee 的专辑 《Almost Naked》, 她 1947 年生于英国约克郡的 Bradford,曾在 70 年代与 Elton John 合唱 Don’t Go Breaking My Heart 这首歌在全世界获得巨大的成功,后在 93 年又与 Elton John 录制合唱了 True Love。
而她真正的成功则是她后来发行的几张专辑特别是参与了电影《Blood Brothers》里的歌曲演唱,其中最让乐迷喜欢的则是她与吉他手 Carmelo Luggeri 合作以后发行的两张专辑《 Where Rivers Meet》和《Almost Naked》,因制作上的精良及乐器编排上的简练,而成为一些发烧友心目中发烧女声天碟的典范。
《Almost Naked》是非常出色的现场人声专辑 , 如果不是唱片中听众的鼓掌声,你丝毫无法察觉如此肉感的嗓音、晶莹剔透的吉他拨弦是完全 Live 的!人声和吉他的结像定位很准确。Kiki Dee 嗓音非常干净,因为录音出色的关系,喉间的气流和口水声清晰可闻。Carmelo Luggeri 的吉他伴奏也是极为出色的,收放自如,极好的衬托着那种淡淡的忧郁,十三首歌曲大多出自于 Kiki Dee 的自我创作,这种介于怀旧与现代间的音乐风格让人听上去也非常舒服,反复欣赏而不觉疲倦。

专辑 : Perfect Timing PlusRock ‘n’ Roller the games you play
High flyer see your names in lights
Temporarily social suicide
Oh don’t you tell me it’s rough.
At the top you get the cream of the crop
Image seekers they’re unreal to real
This week breaker
Well next week who knows
Oh don’t you tell me it’s rough
Oh don’t you tell me it’s tough.

Rock ‘n’ Roller inventing in your head
You cracked it once and you can do it again
Who knows, who cares at where you’re coming from
Oh don’t you tell me it’s rough.
Just a loner out there on your own
Don’t let anyone get close or near
Imagine that. That you believe all you read
Oh don’t you tell me it’s rough
Oh don’t you tell me it’s tough.

And they can break you down

Now just how many
More like you are trying, trying.
