k.d. Lang

Does anybody here ever listen to her?

I’ve always liked her music. Her voice is so rich and expressive. I wish she would sing ITM. I think her voice would work rather well…

She’s the business!!!

Have been really enjoying her last album - an outstanding cover of one of my all time favourite songs, Jonis "A case of You"is a highlight.
Her earlier masterpiece “All you can eat” ranks right up there in my top ten albums.

Good stuff Cran, I hope Sinead does not get jealous :laughing:

Well, it’s true. I’ve always thought k.d. Lang sounded like Bart Simpson, in a good way. I love the song “Big Boned Gal”…also her live cover of “Don’t Smoke In Bed.” She does that song like nobody else. My spine tingles when I listen to that song.

Jeez..and I thought I had hearing problems :boggle: :boggle:

Nice Avatar :wink:

Slan,
D. :laughing:

You were pretty fast to change your Avatar there Cranster - put it back up for a while..it’s cool .. :smiley:

Actually, I meant the live version of “My Last Cigarette”, not “Don’t Smoke In Bed” (similar names…but I still like both)

The part where there is no music and you wonder if the song is over, then she starts singing. I listen to that over and over and over because I just feel like I am there. It’s such a good thing.

I changed it back, just for you. :slight_smile:

The country music aspect of her work is my least favourite :blush:

Check out her stuff with Tony Bennet.She is a much better Torch singer than a Cowgirl..

Do a P2P on All you can eat, there’s not a bad track on it..superb from start to finish.

Nice to see the Avatar back up :wink:

I saw Tony Bennet sing with her live once (on TV). I really liked it. I like her country (country “ish” would probably be better) a lot. I wouldn’t call her a cowgirl, though. I’d call her a cowboy (in a good way).

Pardon my blatant sexism…in a good way.

Clever shoulder concealment..take out a patent.

Slan,
D. :laughing:

I learned it all from Stacey.

K. D. Lang was one of the late Johnny Carson’s favorite performers and sang at a tribute for him.

Nice pic eh?

Slan,
D.

A little bit creepy, but yeah.

It looks like she’s feeling for his boobs and he’s trying to stop her while forcing a smile for the camera.

It’s a good job I know about the old “Hit the quote button to read tiny print in weird colours trick”… :laughing: :laughing:

D.

Apparently she likes taking pictures with other singers:

I wish they’d record a duo. That’d be fun.

(She’s the one on the left.)

I kinda had that bit figured out all by myself :wink:

K.D. is a tremendous singer/songwriter. I confess I haven’t heard much from her since ‘Constant Cravings’ was popular, but I truly enjoy her music. Didn’t she (along with a few other musical greats) perform with Roy Orbison shortly before his death? I seem to recall watching the video of the concert with her being in it.

It’s quite possible. She performs a lot. She’s one of those (rare) people who can and does sing just about every genre and is good at it.

Check out their duet on “Crying”…bring tears to a statue :sniffle:

I was fortunate enough to see her several times before she got really popular, in venues ranging from a small theater, to a beer garden in a hockey rink, to a rodeo dance…she got everyone up and dancing…her version of Johhny get angry was a signature piece, she would sing it and pretend to be taking punches until she collapsed on the floor…and she would lay there…and lay there…and lay there…and lay there…until we made enough noise to rouse her into finishing the song…she has such power in her voice…

Yup… she’s pretty remarkable … I enjoyed the show with Orbison too.
