由Mary Joe(主唱)、Ken Tacky(主唱及班究琴)、Billie Ray及Bobby Sue(小提琴手)及Billy Boy Stiff(鼓手)所組成的Rednex，是支在美國伊達荷州被發掘的舞曲冠軍團體。他們'94年發表了風靡歐洲的首支單曲Cotton Eye Joe，也讓全球樂迷認識了Rednex帶來的新舞曲風格。接著Rednex發行了兩首冠軍單曲Old Pop In An Oak及Wish You Were Here，在一連串的光環和讚譽聲中，他們卻選擇暫別歌壇，為的是要找尋新的靈感。
在沉寂了五年之後，Rednex換上了女主唱Whippy，以全新多元的音樂訴求及風格出發，繳出這張愉悅的新專輯「Farm Out」。這回他們從電子舞曲的形式跳脫出來，多了一些小提琴的演奏如The Way I Mate、西部牛仔的狂放The Devil Went Down To Georgia、吉他伴奏下的抒情浪漫情歌Hold Me For A While等等。即使睽違樂迷五年，Rednex的魅力依舊，首支單曲The Spirit Of The Hawk便在德國舞曲排行榜榜首長達9週，並在今年三月的「德國安可音樂獎」中擊敗了一同被提名的Bon Jovi、小甜甜布蘭妮等人奪得「國際最佳單曲」。如果你想嚐嚐另類歡愉的電子舞曲，不妨試試Rednex的「Farm Out」，「Hold Me for A While」。
Hold Me for A While
------Rednex
Hold, hold me for a while
I know this won't last forever
So hold, hold me tonight
Before the morning takes you away
Hold, hold me for a while
I know this won't last forever
So hold, hold me tonight
Before the morning takes you away
What's that sparkle in your eyes?
Is it tears that I see?
Oh tomorrow you are gone
So tomorrow I'm alone
Short moments of time
We have left to share our love
Hold, hold me for a while
I know this won't last forever
So hold, hold me tonight
Before the morning takes you away
We're in eachothers arms
Soon we're miles apart
Can you imagine how I'll miss,
Your touch and your kiss?
Short moments of time
We have left to share our love
Hold, hold me for a while
I know this won't last forever
So hold, hold me tonight
Before the morning takes you away
Hold, hold me now,
From dusk all night to dawn
Save, save me now,
A short moment of time
Hold, hold me for a while
I know this won't last forever
So hold, hold me tonight
Before the morning takes you away
Takes you away
