Connie Dover是美国本土密苏里州人，在美国本土的一个爱尔兰乐队scartaglen中出名，以往我们接触的celtic美声大多都是来自欧洲大陆，这个美国漂亮歌手饱含celtic风的歌声却使我不得不赞叹celtic音乐的魅力和影响是多么的巨大。仔细听她的音乐中，民谣和美声的成分居多。用了大量celtic特有的乐器，却也不忘加上点标志美国民谣的吉他声~~还有一点值得一提，这个金发美女不仅人美歌靓，自己也是个键盘手和作曲家。Connie Dover 的声音很平稳，就像砂漏里的砂往下流过一样，淡淡的，看不出什么滋味，口感却又很深远，不过，就像 CD 听完可以重来，沙漏滴完可以再翻转过来，时间却还是一样离开，淡滋味中，有一种无力挽回的哀伤。

试听:I Am Going To The West

歌词：
In this fair land i'll stay no more
here labor is in vain
I'll seek the mountains far away
and leave the fertile plain
Where waves of grass and oceans roam
into infinity
I stand ready on the shore
to cross the inland sea.
I am going to the west
you say you will not go with me
you turn your eyes away
you say you will not follow me
no matter what I say
I am going to the west
I am going to the west
I will jorney to the place
that was shaped by heaven's hand
and I will build for me a bow
where angel's footprints mark the land
where castle rocks and towers high
kneel to valleys wide and green
all my thoughts are turned to you
my waking hope, my sleeping dream
I am going to the west
you say you will not go with me
you turn your eyes away
you say you will not follow me
no matter what I say
I am going to the west
I am going to the west
And when sun gives way to moon
and silver starlight fills the sky
in the arms of these last hills
is where I'm bound to lie
wind my blanket earth my bed
my canopy a tree '
willows by the riverside
will whisper me to sleep
I am going to the west
you say you will not go with me
you turn your eyes away
you say you will not follow me
no matter what I say
I am going to the west
I am going to the west
I am going to the west
I am going to the west
