Free Music Notes for Absolute Torch and Twang

... the brilliance, the je-ne-c'est-qua of k.d.lang might forever have escaped me...[until]... she performs "Pullin' Back the Reins" from this CD. What is apparent there is that when k.d. sings a song, she doesn't just perform it, she gives everything in her heart and soul to it.I bought this CD based solely on that one song, which in my opinion is the torchiest, twangiest song on here and filled with absolutely beautiful imagery. This is infectious music. k.d. may opt for lowercase letters, but her Voice is going to get under your skin.
You can't have country without some heartbreak and blues influence, and those are included here, but the feeling you're left with overall is a very upbeat, stompin' good time --listen to "Luck in My Eyes", "Walkin' In and Out of your Arms" or "Big Boned Gal". The lady says it best of herself: "Hey, hey, the big boned gal...ain't no doubt she's a natural...shakin' and a-snakin' and a-breakin across the floor." I only wish k.d. could know the joy this CD brings to me.

This cd is close to sacred. It is almost too personal to review. If I were to listen to Pulling Back the Reins, Trail of Broken Hearts and anything from Ingenue, in succession, I may fall to pieces. Only purchase this cd if you are capable of the emotions that ensue.Free Music Review: Recipe for k d lang

This is my all-time favorite k.d.lang album. It's an album that you can sing to , dance with...it just picks me up to listen to it ! When I introduce people to this CD they always want a copy. I have bought several copies of this CD myself because it's one of those CD's that people borrow and enjoy so much that they just never get around to returning it ! This CD IS absolute torch and twang...fun songs with a country twang; songs that pull at your heart; and powerfully sung songs with all the grit and gusto of the torch song tradition. There are few singers that can deliver a song with the power and emotion that k.d. delivers. I have seen her on stage and know that she is an amazing peformer. Despite that, I have at times, been less than enthusiastic with some of her recordings...this one however,earns every one of those 5 stars !Free Music Review: Absolute everything

Absolute Torch & Twang has absolutely everything, it has the swinging country sound that you can't keep still to, and smokey raunchiness, it has songs that make you laugh and some that make you sad. It is complete perfection out of all of KD's albums I have to consider this one my favourite.
