I'm not a music critic. I enjoyed listening to kd lang's voice and the range of her voice. I especially enjoyed the tiny peak of country music.
I listen to this CD frequently in the car.

k.d. lang's Watershed is the best music I've heard in years. Her voice is intoxicating, the lyrics are moving and all of the songs are thought-provoking. Waiting so long for new music from k.d. was worth every second.Free Music Review: more of the same

I was expecting something new but it is more of the same old thing.
K D has such a wonderfully rich voice, she needs to change her material.
Free Music Review: Glorious, From Start To Finish

k.d. lang managed to get a lot of coverage and exposure through Starbuck's placement of "Watershed" in prime view for the many weeks that they did, but honestly, with this magnificent effort, different from her original country roots in style, but certainly not wit, that prime placement was more than well-deserved.
With the opening track, "I Dream of Spring", lang sets the stage for a relaxed, introspective, sharp-witted, and very personal journey into her world. There are some fantastic gems following, such as "Coming Home", with lyrics lilting along "I'm happily indifferent to the one's who have consistently been wrong", and "Close Your Eyes", a soaring tribute to lovers everywhere. Some other great ones, with equally fantastic lyrics include "Thread", "Flame Of The Uninspired", and "Upstream". Of course, choosing the best songs of all those on the disc is like trying to pick out a red rose from a field of maroon--they are all so sublime, it's really useless to attempt.
Some may call the CD "boring", with it's lack of upbeat tunes, but honestly, lang puts such emotion and intelligence into her lyrics, and the sweeping melodies that each song brings forth, that upbeat melodies are highly uneccesary. Each song compliments the other, and the disc has a "complete" feeling with the final note of the last track. I've had the disc playing on my iPod for going on 4 weeks now, and I'm nowhere near tired of it. Truly, it is nothing short of a work of art.
