Free Music Notes for Hymns of the 49th Parallel
Free Music Review: kd lang at her best
Hit: 5 Stars
I have always loved kd lang, but I like this cd the best. Her singing is smooth as always, and the song choice is great. The 49th parallel (in case you didn't know) is the Canadian/US border, and the title refers to her homage to some of the greatest Canadian singer songwriters; Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Jane Siberry. An interesting side note: When Johnny Carson died, lang made a special appearance on the Tonight Show at Jay Leno's request. Apparently she was Carson's favorite. If you caught the performance, it was beautiful and very moving. The song she sang was from this cd. If you want a cd to lift your spirits give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.Free Music Review: Hymns of the 49th Parallel

Hit: 5 Stars
I heard this CD while dining in Bar Harbor, Maine. Having the CD as a backdrop made the evening magical. K.D. Lang has created a moving, moody, album of sweet and soulful folk songs from my younger years. It is the first time I have heard her, and besides her remarkable voice, I was impressed by her facility with the music and arrangements. I love this CD-was playing it in the car tonight.Free Music Review: master at her best

i can't say enough about kd lang. she is the consumate performer--equally adept in some many genres. some of the tracks on this album are transcendental if you allow her voice to wash over you. moody and majestic, "hymns" will make you rejoice.
