Vince and Rodney Crowell's Long Friendship (Commentary)
La longue amitié de Vince et Rodney Crowell (Commentaire)
Well I mean it was
Eh bien, je veux dire que c'était...
First of all it was daunting shoes to try to fill and no one can
Tout d'abord, c'était intimidant d'essayer de prendre la relève et personne ne peut...
It was trying to play when Albert you know had played and one of my great heroes of all heroes
C'était intimidant de jouer alors qu'Albert, tu sais, avait joué, un de mes grands héros parmi tous les héros.
Yeah that'd lot to do with the way I play
Ouais, ça a beaucoup influencé ma façon de jouer.
Umm so that was uhh daunting enough to fill Albert Lee's shoes and you can't but
Euh, donc c'était euh assez intimidant de remplacer Albert Lee, et on ne peut pas vraiment le remplacer, mais...
The fact that I could sing too was a plus
Le fait que je puisse chanter aussi était un plus.
You know I could do uhh two people's jobs, you know, all in one and uhh
Tu sais, je pouvais faire le travail de deux personnes, tu sais, tout en un, et euh...
Just I think umm the level of musicianship that I was then uhh in and around
Je pense juste que le niveau de musicalité que j'avais à l'époque, euh, dans ce milieu et avec ces gens...
And amongst was unlike anything I'd ever done
Était différent de tout ce que j'avais jamais connu.
Umm, when you look at guys like Larry London, Toni Brown, Emory Gordy, Hank DeVito
Euh, quand tu regardes des gars comme Larry London, Toni Brown, Emory Gordy, Hank DeVito...
I mean, there, you know, about as good as it gets in that world you know
Je veux dire, c'est du très haut niveau dans ce domaine, tu sais.
And especially Larry I'll never forget the first rehearsal he count off the first song
Et surtout Larry, je n'oublierai jamais la première répétition, il compte le premier morceau...
And I had the intro and I start playing and I went oh my god
Et j'avais l'intro et je commence à jouer et je me suis dit : "Oh mon dieu !".
Right now, I have to best I've played in my whole freakin' life because he... they were that good
À partir de maintenant, je dois jouer mieux que jamais dans ma vie parce qu'il... ils étaient tellement bons.
And it was really eye opening you know to see what kind of caliber of musician there really was out there, you know
Et c'était vraiment une révélation de voir quel genre de musiciens il y avait vraiment, tu sais.
And uhh once again? told her I'd be the best musician in the band and I was uhh
Et euh, encore une fois, je lui ai dit que je serais le meilleur musicien du groupe et j'allais euh...
I was gonna have to really pull up my bootstraps and go you know to keep up
Devoir vraiment mettre les bouchées doubles pour suivre.
And so I was all prepared, I knew all the songs, I knew all the solos and I learned Albert solos
Donc j'étais prêt, je connaissais tous les morceaux, je connaissais tous les solos et j'avais appris les solos d'Albert.
And Emory after a few songs in the first rehearsal he leaned over and said, "Thanks for doing your homework"
Et Emory, après quelques morceaux lors de la première répétition, s'est penché vers moi et m'a dit : "Merci d'avoir fait tes devoirs".
You know so I was glad I did you know and
Tu sais, j'étais content de l'avoir fait, tu sais, et...
You know Rose Ann always tells a story that's it's hysterical she said, "I wouldn't have on it"
Tu sais, Rose Ann raconte toujours une histoire hilarante, elle dit : "Je ne voulais pas de lui".
"I didn't want him in my band", talking about me
"Je ne voulais pas de lui dans mon groupe", en parlant de moi.
So I had Albert and I had Rose Mary Butler, Great Harmony singer and 'cause I didn't... I was not about it
J'avais donc Albert et j'avais Rose Mary Butler, une chanteuse d'harmonies incroyable, et parce que je n'étais pas... Je n'étais pas très enthousiaste.
You know so she said first song you play the first solo I just kinda put my nose near and said, "He got lucky"
Alors elle a dit qu'au premier morceau, quand j'ai joué le premier solo, elle a juste approché son nez et a dit : "Il a eu de la chance".
Second solo she was okay gotta give it to him pretty good
Au deuxième solo, elle s'est dit : "OK, il faut lui accorder, c'est plutôt bien".
So umm Rodney always knew and he's the one that uhh umm that believed in me the deepest you know
Donc euh Rodney a toujours su et c'est lui qui euh a cru en moi le plus profondément, tu sais.
And umm I don't think I got a better pal than Rodney and he was inspiring to me in a lot of ways
Et euh, je ne pense pas avoir de meilleur ami que Rodney, et il m'a beaucoup inspiré à bien égards.
Because I think he... he's someone that saw the whole field you know
Parce que je pense qu'il... il voyait le tableau d'ensemble, tu sais.
And knew how the song came about, how an arrangement came about, how to treat people in the studio
Il savait comment une chanson voyait le jour, comment un arrangement se mettait en place, comment traiter les gens en studio.
How... you know just such a great mentor you know and then even a better friend and umm
Comment... tu sais, un vrai mentor, tu sais, et en plus un ami formidable, et euh...
I took a lot of keys from Rod you know I think probably early on uhh people would say about my records
J'ai beaucoup appris de Rod, tu sais. Je pense qu'au début, on disait de mes disques...
"He's trying too hard to be like Rodney", you know
"Il essaie trop de ressembler à Rodney", tu sais.
Rodney was another interesting he wrote only songs that were hits for everybody else
Rodney était un autre cas intéressant, il n'écrivait que des chansons qui étaient des tubes pour tous les autres.
And he still had to me much better versions on his own records that they didn't
Et il avait encore, pour moi, des versions bien meilleures sur ses propres disques, mais elles n'ont pas...
They didn't support they didn't you know do all that then finally in the late '80s he finally had a huge record
Elles n'ont pas eu le succès escompté, elles n'ont pas... tu sais... Et puis finalement, à la fin des années 80, il a enfin eu un énorme succès.
And a bunch of number one songs and you know pretty hard to beat you know
Et un tas de chansons numéro un, et c'est difficile à battre, tu sais.
And there's something about... you know it's interesting how people's voices work you know
Et il y a quelque chose à propos de... tu sais, c'est intéressant comment les voix des gens fonctionnent, tu sais.
Somebody can be a great singer but their voice won't speak to you, you know
Quelqu'un peut être un grand chanteur, mais sa voix ne te parlera pas forcément, tu sais.
And maybe there's something about that doesn't ring you bell, doesn't appeal to you, doesn't sound good to you
Et peut-être qu'il y a quelque chose qui ne te plaît pas, qui ne te touche pas, qui ne te semble pas bon.
And... well I think Rodney was... would look you straight in the face and say I'm the best singer that ever lived
Et... eh bien, je pense que Rodney était... te regarderait droit dans les yeux et te dirait : "Je suis le meilleur chanteur de tous les temps".
He's a great stylist and the sound of his voice like dreamy and like Johnny Cash's did
C'est un grand styliste et le son de sa voix, comme celle de Johnny Cash, est onirique.
And that was I think still today that's been my favorite thing I've done is uhh
Et c'est ça, je pense, encore aujourd'hui, ce que j'ai préféré faire, c'est euh...
Gettin' to stand up there and sing the high parts above him and play some pretty fierce electric guitar
Pouvoir me tenir et chanter les parties hautes au-dessus de lui et jouer de la guitare électrique avec une certaine férocité.
That's uhh... that's about as good gig as I've ever had that guitar player's chair was uhh an awesome place to get to shine
C'est euh... c'est le meilleur job que j'ai jamais eu, cette chaise de guitariste était euh un endroit formidable pour briller.
And those were really important days
Et c'était des jours vraiment importants.
I don't know out of all the things I've done with Rodney
Je ne sais pas, de toutes les choses que j'ai faites avec Rodney...
I don't know what I would choose you know there was uhh Above and Beyond, Kevin and Buck you know it was a pretty good record
Je ne sais pas ce que je choisirais, tu sais. Il y a eu "Above and Beyond", "Kevin and Buck", tu sais, c'était un très bon disque.
Uhh Couldn't Leave You If I Try, I got to sing on that
Euh "Couldn't Leave You If I Try", j'ai chanté dessus.
He had me singin' on a whole bunch of records over the years you know
Il m'a fait chanter sur beaucoup de disques au fil des ans, tu sais.
But I think the umm probably the real pivotal song is 'Till I Gain Control Again
Mais je pense que la chanson charnière, c'est "Till I Gain Control Again".
I don't know I think I sang on his recording of that but I'm not sure
Je ne sais pas, je pense avoir chanté sur son enregistrement de ce morceau, mais je n'en suis pas sûr.
I can't remember well enough but getting to sing that song with him meant the most
Je ne me souviens pas assez bien, mais chanter cette chanson avec lui était ce qui comptait le plus.
