Free Music Notes for Absolute Torch and Twang
Free Music Review: Too Hot not to Like
Hit: 5 Stars
I have to listen to country and bluegrass when my New York wife is away - or in the privacy of my car. But if I slip K.D. in the disk changer, she asks, "Who is that?" It's clearly country - but it's too hot not to like.Free Music Review: Exactly what the title promises - ABSOLUTELY!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a CD I never tire of, and one of my favorites for listening to in the car. How can you beat wailing along with "Full Moon Full of Love" or "Three Days" as you're going down a long and dusty highway? Or "Big Boned Gal" when you saw someone just like that on dance floor last Friday night? Even people who think they hate country music love this CD... so you might as well get yourself several copies, because if you load it out you probably won't get it back. I'd love it if KD went back to making more like this one - her absolute best!Free Music Review: k.d lang's best work
Hit: 4 Stars
It's an absolute shame that Canadian chanteuse k.d. lang abadoned her career as an alt-country artist to find mainstream success, her hauntingly beautiful voice on these tracks instantly transports the listener to the Patsy Kline era of country western music. k.d. is one of the only singers capable of carrying on Kline's tradition of heartbreaking melodies. On the very first track LUCK IN MY EYES, lang sounds both vunerable and evocative and positively sexy. I am not a fan of the pop radio ready tripe that passes as country nowadays but as picky as I am, I was hooked from the very first listen. The relaxed lovliness of lang's voice as she glides effortlessly from slow tempo he-use-to-love-me tunes to celebratory tales of a BIG BONED GAL will make even the biggest skeptic a fan. If you loved Patsy Clines 12 Greatest Hits CD, you will absolutely love TORCH AND TWANG. Here's to hoping that k.d. will give country another chance.
Free Music Review: 5 STARS AND I HATE COUNTRY MUSIC
Hit: 5 Stars
For all the tripe that passes for country music these days and even back when this came out, "Absolute Torch And Twang" is a breath of fresh air. It's a throw back to the vocal power of Patsy Cline when country first crossed over into pop territory without losing it's roots. You won't find a weak track here. This was the completion of her country quartet and since then her work has been somewhat sporadic. It's the music that her voice is best suited for. I listen to this at least once a week and never tire of it. Lang, as well as Lyle Lovett just don't fit the mold of Nashville, but what they did was much more true to real country music than than the likes of a Shania Twain or a Garth Brooks. It's nice to see that KD still relies on her early work in concert as well as her more recent efforts.Free Music Review: A great way to introduce kd lang
Hit: 5 Stars
This was my first kd lang CD, which I bought when it first came out. This is my second replacement, as the previous two were worn out from so much use. This cd shows off kd's voice. It has humor, and is deeply moving with a message (Nowhere To Stand), and has great songs about how people feel going in and out of love (Full Moon Full of Love and Pulling Back The Reigns). After a few plays, you have to sing along to it. If you want to really experience her voice, you should see her live. But this album is the next best thing.
