美國歌壇搖滾女王［琳達朗絲黛］──鄉村樂佳作──［Silver Threads and Golden Needles／銀線與金針］

 

 

I dont want your lonely mansion

With a tear in every room

All I wants the love youve promised

Beneath the halo moon

 

But you think I should be happy

With your money and your name

And hide myself in sorrows

While you play your cheatin game

 

Silver threads and golden needles

Cannot mend this heart of mine

And I dare not drown my sorrows

In the warm glow of your mind

 

You cant buy my love with money

Cause I aint never was that kind

Silver threads and golden needles

Cannot mend this heart of mine

 

Silver threads and golden needles

Cannot mend this heart of mine

And I dare not drown my sorrows

In the warm glow of your mind

 

You cant buy my love with money

Cause I aint never was that kind

Silver threads and golden needles

Cannot mend this heart of mine

１９６８年　美國歌手琳達朗絲黛（Linda Ronstadt）離開小石馬樂團（The Stone Poneys）

１９６９年３月在Capital唱片公司旗下發行首張大諜［Hand Sown…Home Grown］

樂風從民謠轉向鄉村與搖滾

並翻唱Jack Rhodes ＆ Dick Reynolds譜寫,Wanda Jackson原唱的鄉村歌曲［Silver Threads and Golden Needles］

１９７３年 琳達轉到Asylum唱片

秋天發行第四張大碟［Don’t Cry Now］, 再度翻唱［Silver Threads and Golden Needles／銀線與金針］

新版是首輕快的濃厚鄉村味歌曲　在琳達當時豐沛嗓音的詮釋下

充滿一種自然圓潤的魅力

此曲在１９７４年初推出單曲

登上美國單曲榜＃６７　鄉村榜＃２０

加拿大榜＃９０　加拿大鄉村榜＃２０

在幾首單曲的推波助瀾下, 雖然［Don’t Cry Now］只在美國排行榜登上＃４５

卻盤旋超過一年　至今賣出８０萬張以上, 讓朗絲黛拿到首張金唱片　成為她日後登上一線歌手的關鍵之一
