 Good variety of k.d.'s songs.

| k.d. Lang really belts out some of her best songs in this live performance. Her voice is truly amazing, and she proves she can hit the high notes and hold them, too. Great listening entertainment, but get the DVD,and you can enjoy the video, as well. |

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," are more robust with solid beats while "Barefoot," "Constant Craving" and "Simple" are very delicate and more sophisticated.
An outstanding CD! by an outstanding artist!!

As 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 beats her stunning interpretive chops of Roy Orbison's "Crying" and Peggy Lee's "Don't Smoke In Bed." The torchiness of Lang's voice in transcendental on these songs, and carries into the better of the originals, as well.
Those moments are best represented by "Barefoot" and "Simple," which take on life that they didn't previously have on their studio versions. (Lang even conceded the point by re-recording simple for "Hymns of the 49th Parallel,") Her voice remains a wonder to listen to, be it the teasing of "Miss Chatelaine" or the belting of "Trail of Broken Hearts." She has always managed to surround herself with strong material, and this live album of greatest hits (in a sense) is a showcase for her vocal prowess. As such, there are few others out there that match the talent of KD Lang.
