Editorial Review: Amazon.com: k.d. lang has spent her eccentric career pitching between twin poles of desire--torch (jazz/blues) and twang (retro country), and artistry and flamboyance. On Live by Request, she revisits the best of her shimmering repertoire, from her rough-edged cowpunk days to her current gossamer soundscape. But at the start of the set, recorded December 2000 at John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York, she threatens to diminish her own impact with a lumpy, rushed rendition of "Summerfling" and a cartoonish version of "Big Boned Gal." Soon, however, she settles down to do what she does best, which is seduction. While a way-too-melodramatic arrangement spoils "Don't Smoke in Bed," she goes on to bring goose-bump intimacy to "The Consequences of Falling" and "Constant Craving," one of popular music's most aching songs of longing laid bare. By the time she turns her exquisite soprano to the howling chorus of "Barefoot," the earth doesn't just move, Ernest, it trembles--a prelude to the staggeringly emotional affect of "Pullin' Back the Reins." When she gets to that one, don't be surprised if your stereo starts to smoke. --Alanna Nash Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very solid, superb music!Because of one k. d. lang song, "Lifted by Love," in which I heard her incredably powerful and clear voice a few years ago, I recently searched for a 'greatest hits' type CD and found this one. Excellent!, I'm now a confirmed fan! Very interesting music, to me it's a very diverse mix - between genres, between her own and others', and between moods. Kinda country, kinda rock, kinda ballads, kinda cool jazz, and one (Miss Chatelaine) that sounds like an 1890's dance hall. All very listenable. With one exception - her Roy Orbison's "Crying" is the best cover I've ever heard, by far - the best ones are mostly her own music ... "Summerfling," "Miss Chatelaine," "Trail of Broken Hearts" and "The Consequences of Falling," ... Read More: Rating: - Great as usualI really enjoy this CD. The choice of songs is wonderful and very typical k d lang. I highly recommend it. Rating:  - Love is SimpleAs part of the A&E Network's "Live By Request" series, KD Lang did a standout show shortly after the "Invincible Summer" album was released. In contrast the that album's fussy electronic music, "Live By Request" shows Lang in her element, live and surrounded by a competent ensemble. Opening with an energetic "Summerfling" from the "Invincible Summer" CD, the tightly played version here shows why the studio album sounded congested and compressed. There's a more human element here, and it absolutely sparkles in comparison. "Live By Request" is filled with such musically joyous moments. Lang veers from the playful "Big Boned Gal" of her earlier country days to the eventual chanteuse of the terrific "Constant Craving." But nothing here ...

When I was on vacation, she borrowed my cd and said it was the best one so far.....I agree. k.d. lang will be performing LIVE out here and on my supervisors birthday...so I bought a second one for her and we will be going to her concert!!! Rating: - BETTER THAN COFFEE AND CIGARETTESI've owned this album since its release several years ago. Been a k.d. fan for years, even back when she was Country. I listen to this album while painting or roadtripping. Played it recently on a long 3 hour drive, and it still moves me. Her raw and bold vocals are amazing, especially on the Roy Orbison ballad, Crying, and at the very end of Three Cigarettes. I practically hold my breath while listening to these songs because they are so breath-taking. She is such a versatile singer, and this album is the first to offer up a little of every genre that she has become a part of. There are the whimsical country tunes from her Nashville days, the slow country twang ballads you never hear anymore, the moody jazz lounge numbers that ... Read More: |
