ドン・リッチ特集

ドンリッチといえば、カントリーギターの名手、バック・オーウェンス率いるバッカルースのリードギター。　いや、それ以上に、バックとドンは最高のコンビで、バック・オーウェンスの黄金時代は彼がいたからだと言えよう。

ギターの名手であり、甘い声で聴かせるヴォーカルは最高に心地よかった。

32歳で他界、若すぎる死を追悼したいと思います。
Donald Eugene Ulrich (August 15, 1941 – July 17, 1974), best known by the stage name Don Rich, was a country musician who helped develop the Bakersfield sound in the early 1960s. He was a noted guitarist and fiddler, and a member of The Buckaroos, the backing band of country singer Buck Owens. Rich was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1974 at the age of 32.

歌詞
I wait for you to call me but you don't
I keep hoping you come by but you won't
You just got to keep me hurting all the time
And if you make me much bluer I'll go out of my mind
I'll go out of my mind completely it's true
If you don't start to love me the way that I love you
You just got to keep me hurting all the time
And if you make me much bluer I'll go out of my mind
And if you make me much bluer I'll go out of my mind
