Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Not just country, in my humble opinion I enjoyed this CD very much, but I don't think it was 100% country. Several cuts were more "torch song" types; Shadowland, Busy Being Blue with its sax solo, and even Black Coffee, despite the steel guitar. I enjoyed the combination torch and country very much. Reminded me a bit of her Ingenue album. I'm a big Patsy Cline fan, and Owen Bradley's touch is very distinctive. I thought it was a bit "schmaltzy" in a few places, a bit over the top with the crescendos and decrescendos, some of the slides she did with her voice were a bit much, but it seemed an affectionate tribute. Rating: - Her Best CD This is Lang's best CD. I confess that my priorities are voice, then melody, then lyrics and instruments. With this album, KD Lang hits all of those priorities. Shadowland is dazzling, the kind of CD that can only be created by an old soul like producer Owen Bradley and a unique emotion-soaked voice like Lang's. I love love love the way Lang sings these songs, and the accompaniment to them is perfection. (Western Stars & Tears Don't Care Who Cries Them are great examples.) Sadly, no other CD of Lang's is as consistently wonderful as this. Yet. Rating: - K.D.Lang - The Midas Touch Shadowland is subtitled 'The Owen Bradley Sessions' for good reason: Owen Bradley is one of the main people responsible for the evolution of the Nashville Sound. He minimized the use of fiddles and steel guitars while emphasizing strings and backing vocals. Bradley's production ideas gave artists such as Eddy Arnold, Kitty Wells, Marty Robbins, Patsy Cline, Brenda Lee and Loretta Lynn crossover appeal. Once considered 'hillbillies,' artists became popular both in the Country and Pop Charts. K. D. Lang has always had the Midas touch: everything she touches (including Shadowland) turns to gold. Shadowlands is a country CD for people who don't like country music. K. D.'s voice is sultry, smoky and pleading. Favorites include 'I Wish I Didn't Love You So,' 'Shadowland' and 'Tears Don't Care Who Cries Them.' Can anyone do loss-and-heartache better than K. D. Lang? Not for my money.
