5.0 out of 5 stars Roger HawkinsのタイトなドラムスをバックにPickettが叫ぶ「Land Of 1000 Dances」が最高
Reviewed in Japan on July 29, 2021
2021年5月20日に惜しくも亡くなった名ドラマー・Roger Hawkinsは、質・量ともに素晴らしい仕事を残しました。
なかでも、Wilson Pickettの「Land Of 1000 Dances」は、HawkinsのタイトなドラムスのみをバックにPickettが「Na~ na na na na~」と絶叫するところが最高だと思います。
やたらと自己主張する目立ちたがり屋のドラマーとは異なり、正確なリズムでヴォーカルを引き立て、曲が終わってからも、その叩き出したリズムが耳に残るところがHawkinsの真骨頂であると感じました。
この曲をラジオで聴いて、すぐに「Greatest Hits」を購入しましたが、全24曲中、9曲にHawkinsの名がクレジットされており、いかにPickettがHawkinsを始めとするマッスルショールズのミュージシャンを信頼していたかが理解出来ました。
「Land Of 1000 Dances」は、我が国ではグループ・サウンズ全盛期にザ・スパイダースなどがカバーし、「ダンス天国」の邦題で親しまれました。当時、オリジナルはThe Walker Brothersだと思った方が多かったと思います。
私もその一人ですが、Chris Kennerのオリジナルで、共作者として名を連ねた"Fats" DominoやTom Jones、Little Richard、Roy Orbison、Cannibal & the Headhuntersなど、実に多くのシンガー、バンドがカバーしていることを、今回初めて知りました。
そして、その決定版が、Hawkinsが叩き出すリズムに身を任せ、思う存分、熱唱を繰り広げたPickettのヴァージョンであることを確信しました。
尚、15曲目の「Hey Jude」には、Hawkins、Jimmy Johnson、Barry Beckettなどに加えて、スライドギターの名手・Duane Allmanが加わっており、これぞマッスルショールズといったサウンドに仕上がっています。
また、17曲目「Sugar Sugar」もHawkinsがしっかりサポートしており、単なるポップスのカバーでなく、一本筋の通った楽曲として成立しているのも凄いと感じました。
全24曲、約72分。Pickettのソウルフルな歌声を堪能できる決定版ベストです。
