Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
This 1989 album was k.d. lang's generous farewell to the country music world that had given her the cold shoulder after her stellar collaboration with legendary producer Owen Bradley on Shadowland. Songs such as "Pulling Back the Reins"--written by lang with coproducer-guitarist Ben Mink--combined classic country and western imagery with more revealingly personal emotions. At the same time, the album maintained a sly sense of humor missing from much of her later work. The covers of Willie Nelson ("Three Days") and Wynn Stewart ("Big Big Love") certainly don't hurt. The Reclines, lang's band, is notable for the presence of Greg Leisz on steel guitar. -Rick Mitchell
Customer Reviews
A MUST for k.d. lang fans
This is probably the album that made k.d.lang a recording star, and it is a standout. I recommend it for anyone who loves a finely tuned voice at its best. It is a disc that not only country-western fans will enjoy. Every lang album is a treasure, so this belongs in every musical lovers collection.
kd at her very best
i have many of her cds....this is by far my favorite. classic. A must own for any fan of pure country.
Outstanding. Withstands the test of time.
I have enjoyed this album thoroughly since I first purchased it nearly 20 years ago. I do not have many of Ms. lang's cds, so I can't/won't attempt to compare them. Yesterday, I decided to place it in the CD player. It had been quite some time since I had listened to it. I was stunned at how great it sounded. The music does not sound dated in any way. I personally love the mixture of swing and ballads. The voice, of course, is phenomenal. Certainly worth considering and a good addition to anyone's collection.
