If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

他们演唱的主要作品均出自菲力普斯之手。他很会写旋律,更擅长配和声。埃德勒为他们请来了洛杉矶最好的棚虫,录制了一张名为《如果你能相信你的耳朵和眼睛》(If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears)的专辑,并推出单曲《加州之梦》和《星期一、星期一》(Monday Monday)。虽然乐队的风格并不是典型的民歌摇滚,而是一种带有民歌风味的流行音乐,但这并不妨碍这两首单曲都成了热门歌曲,后者还登上了排行榜的第一名。爸爸妈妈们一下子出名了。 这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第127位。 In the spring of 1966, If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears represented a genuinely new sound, as fresh to listeners as the songs on Meet the Beatles had seemed two years earlier. Released just as "California Dreaming" was ascending the charts by leaps and bounds, it was the product of months of rehearsal in the Virgin Islands and John Phillips' discovery of what one could do to build a polished recorded sound in the studio -- it embraced folk-rock, pop/rock, pop, and soul, and also reflected the kind of care that acts like the Beatles were putting into their records at the time. "Monday, Monday" and "California Dreamin'" are familiar enough to anyone who's ever listened to the radio, and "Go Where You Wanna Go" isn't far behind, in this version or the very similar rendition by the Fifth Dimension. But the rest is mighty compelling even to casual listeners, including the ethereal "Got a Feelin'," the rocking "Straight Shooter" and "Somebody Groovy," the jaunty, torch song-style version of "I Call Your Name," and the prettiest versions of "Do You Wanna Dance" and "Spanish Harlem" that anyone ever recorded. If the material here has a certain glow that the Mamas & the Papas' subsequent LPs lacked, that may be due in part to the extensive rehearsal and the exhilaration of their first experience in the studio, but also a result of the fact that it was recorded before the members' personal conflicts began interfering with their ability to work together. The work was all spontaneous and unforced here, as opposed to the emotional complications that had to be overcome before their next sessions.
