Product Description
Amazon.ca
Shadowland, k.d. lang's noted collaboration with Patsy Cline producer Owen Bradley, suggests that the Albertan singer's blather about being Cline reincarnated might be true after all. Backed by a small army of musicians-- from saxophonists to steel guitarists and string players--lang soars through these covers, her silken voice the undisputed star of the show. She's versatile, too. Witness her switch from a smoky torch in the title track to a bluesy croon in "Black Coffee" before playfully tearing through the snappy, upbeat "Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes." One-stop shopping for lang at the peak of her powers. --Adem Tepedelen

k. d. tries something new, and gives us a wonder gift,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shadowland (Audio CD)
First, I love k. d. lang (sic). I've loved her since her "big-boned gal" days when she was barely known outside Canada. And then I heard she was changing her style, expanding, trying new types of songs. "OH NO!" I thought, "k. d. can't leave her roots." It'll be like Linda Rondstadt's style-of-the-month phase after she tired of pop. But how wrong I was! In "Shadowland" k. d. brings her powerful pitch-perfect voice of an angel to truly beautiful torch songs. The result is musical ecstasy. k. d. can do anything, and she proves it in this extraordinary transitional CD. It is a magnificent vocal experience. I thank k. d. for bringing her wonderful voice, and this rich new style, into my repertoire.

We're Justifiably Proud of k.d. Here In Her Native Canada,
By AvidOldiesCollector (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shadowland (Audio CD)
What a magnificent voice. One which alternates between taking a pure Country song to new heights, delivering pop like no other [who can forget her duets with Tony Bennett and Roy Orbison], and even taking charge of hard-core Soul and R&B. You simply cannot pigeon-hole k.d. lang.The other reviewers have more than adequately covered the selections presented in this album, produced by the legendary Own Bradley who passed away ten years after its release at age 82. But I would just like to add that the last track, featuring k.d., Loretta Lynn, Kitty Wells, and Brenda Lee as The Honky Tonk Angels, pulls together in one of the most memorable performances three classic songs from the past. The opening bars present In The Evening (When The Sun Goes Down) which was a 1949 R&B hit for both Jimmy Witherspoon and The Charles Brown Trio. From there they break into the Ernest Tubb 1948 classic, You Nearly Lose Your Mind, and then smoothly transfer to Blues Stay Away From Me, first done by Eddie Crosby in 1949, and then a year later by The Delmore Brothers and, for my money anyway, the best version of them all by The Owen Bradley Quintet with vocals by Jack Shook and Dottie Dillard. In the insert you get a full page written by Mr. Bradley, a number of photographs, including one with him and the Hockey Tonk Angels, and a track-by-track listing of the musicians involved on each cut. An album that will one day rival Carole King's Tapestry in the legends of recorded music.

One top voice,
By
This review is from: Shadowland (Audio CD)
Kd Lang is ,in my opinion,the best North American female voice of her time.But not all of her Cds are as satisfying as this one.This one shows the Nashville influenced side of Kathryn Dawn Lang as arranged by Owen Bradley who also produced Patsy Cline.In songs like BLACK COFFEE,the title track and I WISH I DIDN'T LOVE YOU SO she passionately and contemporarily delivers tunes written way before her time.She sings DON'T LEt THE STARS...a 50's hit withunique vigor and belts out the CHris ISaak penned WESTERN STARS so appropriately as the disk opener.It was the first Kd Cd I ever bought and what an introduction it was!
