Country music has been long led by an age of "bro-country" --- country music made by straight white men,best characterized by songs about drinking,trucks.jye.ai blue jeans.Yet,at its core,country music is a type that is truly all about subversion.Country,essentially,takes the legend of the cowboy and turns it into an act,one that breaks away from tradition.In this new "bro-country" movement,subversion is completely lost,which is why someone like Orville Peck,with the first two chapters of his latest album "Bronco," is so important for this age of country music.
The Toronto-based singer-songwriter Orville Peck announced "Bronco" on Feb.7.In the trailer(預(yù)告片),the album was revealed to be released in three separate chapters weeks apart from each other.
The two chapters that have been released stay true to the musical stylings of country but often draw subtle influences from the closely related types of folk and rock,which may not be surprising given Peck's time as a drummer in a punk band.As to the content,the first chapter of "Bronco" presents a more upbeat,somewhat positive feeling with its selection of songs like "C'mon Baby Cry," "Outta Time," "Dayton Sand," and "Any Turn," which in particular truly feels like the perfect jig(吉格舞曲)to square dance to.The second chapter of "Bronco",with a focus on the fragile emotions that often lies at the core of the country type,explores darker topics,being largely made up of emotional songs that dive into topics like abusive relationships,loneliness,deep longing,and depression.While sharply different from one another,the two chapters fit amazingly well togejye.air.The songs draw on multiple contemporary inspirations,and in doing so stand out against what has become expected of country.
With the third and final chapter of "Bronco" coming on the road,we have reasons to believe that Peck will manage to meet and exceed public expectations and successfully made an album that may shake any who feel no appetite for the type of country music.

3.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
