美國鄉村樂天后[桃莉芭頓]──鄉村流行曲──〔White Limozeen/白色長型汽車〕
Fresh scrubbed hot off the bus
Dressed up and feelin good
Eyes full of stars
A heart full of dreams
Daisy Mae in Hollywood
Struttin down the boulevard
The walkway of the stars
With a vision of her name in lights
Reflectin off the cars
And dreamin of a white limozeen
She wants to have a white limozeen
Well the days to come were long and dark
And the nights were hard and cold
She met the devil in the City Of Angels
But she never lost her soul
She kept her dreams close to her heart
Like a family photograph
She cried sometimes and died sometimes
But still knew how to laugh
Dreamin of a white limozeen
Dreamin of a white limozeen
Now shes a livin her dreams
Like a movie queen
Diamond rings and all things good
From the breadlines to the headlines
Shes the toast of Hollywood
White limozeen
White limozeen
Now shes really ridin high
Shes a woman of the world
But deep inside she never changed
Shes the same old down home girl
And when the airplane brings the kinfolk
To visit for awhile
Theres a friendly guy in a red bow tie
To take em around in style
He drives em in a white limozeen
She finally got a white limozeen
Now shes a livin her dreams
Like a movie queen
Diamond rings and all things good
From the breadlines to the headlines
Shes the toast of Hollywood
She was fresh scrubbed hot off the bus
Dressed up and feelin good
Eyes full of stars
A heart full of dreams
Daisy Mae in Hollywood
She goes struttin down the boulevard
The walkway of the stars
With a vision of her name in lights
Reflectin off the cars
And dreamin of a white limozeen
She finally got a white limozeen
Oh ridin in a white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
1970年年代後期,美國鄉村樂天后桃莉芭頓(Dolly Parton)逐漸向主流市場靠攏.
雖然在70年末/80年代前期達到事業巔峰,甚至成為電影票房明星.
但至1980年代中期時,由於鄉村基本歌迷不滿其曲風過度流行,唱片銷售逐漸下滑.
1987年 桃莉離開合作長達近20年的RCA唱片 跳槽到哥倫比亞公司
推出在專輯〔Rainbow〕,繼續走偏向主流曲風
卻評價低 銷售更差 只拿到鄉村榜#18,且沒有任何單曲打入鄉村榜Top40 創下事業最低點
讓芭頓重新思考音樂事業走向
1989年春天 43歲的桃莉推出第29張大碟〔White Limozeen/白色長型汽車〕(Columbia出版) 由Ricky Skaggs製作,重新回到鄉村樂根源
這次樂評優秀 一洗上張大碟失敗之恥 商業也成功
前兩首主打登上告示牌鄉村榜冠軍
〔White Limozeen〕升到Billboard副榜──鄉村專輯榜季軍 並停留100星期
成為芭頓1981年後第一張拿到金唱片的個人錄音室大碟.
同年主演的電影〔Steel Magnolias/鋼木蘭〕叫好叫座
讓桃莉無論影壇歌壇皆成功東山再起.
1990年4月,桃莉推出大碟第五主打──標題曲[White Limozeen]
由芭頓+Mac Davis創作,
Ricky Skaggs製作成一首鄉村流行曲,節奏中板,帶點慵懶,桃莉的詮釋細緻迷人.
[White Limozeen]登上美國鄉村單曲榜#29,加拿大單曲榜#47.
