簡介
Chris De burgh
克里斯·蒂伯 ( Chris De Burgh )，原名Christppher James Davidson，愛爾蘭/英國歌手和音樂創作人。1948年10月15日出生於阿根廷的Pergamino。De Burgh的父親是一位英國外交官，母親是愛爾蘭裔英國人，童年因為父親工作的原因，一家人經常遷移，從而積累了豐富的旅行和人生經驗。雖然De Burgh持有英國護照但卻把自己認為是愛爾蘭人。
當De Burgh在都柏林Trinity 大學求學時，他已經開始憑著對音樂的痴迷與愛戀進行流行歌曲的創作。De Burgh簽約A&M唱片公司後，成為SUPERTRAMP的主要成員，1975年他們取得了巨大的成功。Chris De Burgh憑著優秀的音樂才能在樂壇中繼續追求著商業性和藝術性的雙重目標。儘管美國排行榜忽視他。他卻堪稱為愛爾蘭20世紀偉大的國寶歌神,在世界各地擁有一批非常死忠的歌迷,30多年來他一如既往的用音樂搭配著優美的歌詞寫著他的心情、他的見聞、他的故事。
chris de burghDe Burgh的《For Beyond These Castle Wall》推出的時候，恰逢Moody Blues風行樂壇，De Burgh被掩蓋在其濃蔭之下，儘管如此，他用輕搖滾演繹的歷史幻想還是引起了樂評的注意，他們認為De Burgh的歌曲具有一種超人的洞察力，這張專輯的一首單曲《Flying》雖然在英國表現並不很出色，卻在巴西流行樂排行榜上取得了No.1。接著De Burgh又推出了專輯《Spanish rain And Other Stories》，其中的一首《A spaceman Came Travelling》以及流暢、迷人的旋律受到樂眾的喜愛。 雖然這時De Burgh仍沒能火爆英美樂壇，但是在加拿大，南非，歐洲和南美洲，他已經名聲日隆。De Burgh 的第五張專輯《Eeastern Wind》在挪威的銷售量超過了The Beatles的《Let It Be》取得了當地排行榜的冠軍。在一段冗長的等待期之後，終於在1982年憑藉由Ruper Hine製作的《The Getway》沖入了英國排行榜。1984年De Burgh的專輯《Man on The Line》獲得了很好的銷量，翌年《The Very Best Of Chris De Burgh》又使他在英國名噪一時。1986 年他又以一首快樂浪漫的《Lady In Red》取得了英國排行榜的榜首。1988年De Burgh又發揮他優秀的創作才能，寫出了一首廣為流傳的《Missing You》。同年他的專輯《Flying Colours》不僅取得了商業上的成功，併名列英國專輯榜前列。De Burgh於1992年又推出了《Power Of Ten》，德國和瑞士金唱片銷售認證，登上德國專輯榜冠軍及英國專輯榜季軍。Chris De Burgh在1994年發布了專輯《This Way Up》，1995年《Beautiful Dreams》，1997年《The Love Songs》，《Quiet Revolution》 (1999)，《the lady in red - The Very Best of Chris De Burgh》 (2000)，《Timing is Everything》 (2002)，《The Road To Freedom》 (2004)，《The Storyman》 (2006) ，《Footsteps》(2009) 。一直以來，他憑著優秀的音樂才能在樂壇中繼續追求著商業性和藝術性的雙重目標。其中在這張《The Road To Freedom》中，除了有著對音樂一路走來始終如一的熱愛堅持，更是他離開五大唱片，獨立創業的第一張代表作，意義非凡。一如以往堅持，沒有過度華麗的包裝，不搞花俏譁眾取寵，略帶滄桑、充滿浪漫及神秘色彩的音樂，絕對真實地直擊到每個愛樂人的心底。每一首創作，都仿佛是一幕幕高潮迭起的感人大戲，編曲如壯闊史詩般引人入勝，他的詞意總是充滿人文關懷，緩緩在聽者心底泫染起一陣溫暖感動的漣漪，濃郁的愛爾蘭風加上他溫潤醇厚的百萬金嗓，真情摯性， 絕對動你心扉! 對死忠的樂迷而言，這張專輯絕對是充滿遠見及靈感的一場心靈提升之旅，再次受到他豐沛的想像力所感召。風格融合了世界音樂的精髓，包括浪漫西班牙風、神秘的凱爾特風、北美洲流行風及東歐優雅古味；專輯歌曲更論及反戰議題“The Road To Freedom”，歌頌史上聖潔的處女英皇——伊莉莎白一世“The Rose Of England”，更向英年早逝的夜鶯歌後Eva Cassidy致敬“songbird”，特別的是，大家期待已久的抒情經典——紅衣女郎“ The Lady In Red”的後續故事發展，終於在事隔18年後公開，幻化成“Five Past Dreams”而見真章。

評點
愛爾蘭游唱詩人Chris de Burgh，從小住在一座古堡里，後來隨著當外交官的父親，居無定所的周遊列國，他的旅人經歷與漂泊心情，常在歌曲中展露無疑。
他的歌聲總帶著些許滄桑，卻又感性深情，大家最耳熟能詳的，莫過於他在1986年英國排行榜的冠軍歌曲《紅衣女郎》（The Lady In Red）。念書時辦舞會，或者工作上辦活動時，《The Lady In Red》這首歌總是不會漏掉。動人的旋律，Chris de Burgh 深情微顫的感性歌聲，一個男子娓娓道出對心儀女子的深情告白，那樣的自然流暢，難怪廣受歡迎。
Chris de Burgh 擅長在歌曲里說故事。他的創作取材相當廣泛，從愛情、親情、歷史、戰爭，到敘事、寫景...每一首歌曲幾乎都蘊含一段感人的故事，許多歌曲充滿了特殊的異國風味。像齊豫就曾翻唱他的一首描述戰爭殘酷的傷感名曲《Borderline》；陳淑樺早期也曾翻唱《The Girl With April In Her Eyes》（風中哭泣的女孩）。辛曉琪在她的2002年發布的專輯《守候愛情》里也翻唱了這首歌曲。Chris De Burgh的這首歌曲，旋律憂傷，如吟唱詩人淒婉地講述了一個無助的女孩子在雪夜寒風中逝去，嘶啞猶若哭泣，常使人淚滿襟，感人至深。
