k.d. lang AMAZINGFebruary 2, 2010 James L. Woolridge(Sunny Florida) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For me reviewing a kd lang CD is like a broken record. She is without a doubt one of the best ever. So, just go out and get another CD and you won't go wrong with INGENUE. Amazing album, voice, talent, singer. In this age of down loading single songs, this CD is an exception. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Seductive, smooth, lovely...January 20, 2010 Larry Bloom(Tampa, FL) I'd owned her "Absolute Torch and Twang" album, and, not being much of a country music buff, that was more than enough. I'd pigeon-holed her...I admit it. So, I hadn't paid any attention to her later releases. Some years back, someone convinced me to try Ingenue. Wow...I was surprised. The more I listened to it, the more I wanted to listen to it. I'm not exactly sure what genre to put this in, but it is wonderful music for an evening with your sweetie...and works well for an afternoon around the house. Her voice...well, others can say it better, but it carries emotion incredibly well. I now own everything KD has produced since Ingenue. But this is still her best.
A Fantastic Album From One Of The Great Voices Of The Latter 20th Century!!November 3, 2009 MUZIK4THAPEOPLE!!(Orlando, FL) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
***TRUE STORY!!*** It was in Toronto in early 1993, and I was touring with Celine Dion then.
This was during the time of the annual Juno Awards (Canada's Grammys) and both Celine
and K.D. Lang, who I had admired since I first heard her amazing rendition of the Roy Orbison
classic "Crying", the Patsy Cline classic "Two Cigarettes", and the song "Pulling Back The Reigns",
were dominant nominees, along with Melissa Etheridge and her hot album "Come To My Window"!!
A strange chain of events had lead to the fact that K.D. Lang's back-up singers were detained
in the Vancouver airport and she was stuck without them for her Juno performance...
a song entitled "Constant Craving".
Well, she and her manager were running around backstage like chickens with their
heads cut off, when they chanced upon the dressing room of the Celine Dion band,
and in particular, us, the Celine Dion back-up singers. (-:
We were going through our usual clowning and vocal exercises all-in-one and they
heard our harmonies and thought we'd be a perfect fit for K.D. Lang's performance as well!
So they go and ask Rene Angelil and Suzanne Gingue, overlords in Celine's camp,
can they use their vocalists for K.D.'s performance that night as well, and they agree
if we are paid what her back-up singers would've made.
This is how things go down in the entertainment industry sometimes...
(backstage at the spur of the moment!)---Anywayz, our dressing room door swings open
and here are Celine's inner circle as well as K.D's inner circle, asking us if we would come
with them to K.D.'s dressing room and meet with her M.D. (musical director),
so we can learn the parts and rehearse for "Constant Craving".
We do learn it and K.D. loves that we are quick studies and blend against her perfectly!
She was so cool with absolutely no attitude or ego at all!
I find that the REAL TALENTS are always like that though.
Fast forward to the televised show and K.D.'s performance is before Celine's that night.
So we wear different outfits in our wardrobe for K.D. than for Celine, and all goes fantastically!
She recieves 2 or 3 Junos that year, and that song sticks in my head from that day to this!
This CD, "INGENUE" was amazing in 1992/'93, and it still is amazing now!
K.D. Lang's iconic voice weaves a delicious, soothing, poignant and sensual spell
on songs from "Miss Chatelaine" to "Constant Craving" to "Wash Me Clean" to
"Save Me" and others....it just haunts all the cells in your body!
I bought this CD right after our performance that night in Toronto
and still play it from time to time to this day, some 16 yrs later!
I think that says everything that you need to know about this CD!
If you don't have it, check it out and buy it! (-:
k.d. lang..always good!April 29, 2009 J. Martin(Spokane) I ordered this because I lost my k.d. lang CD, and I wanted to 'reacquaint myself' with her wonderful music before going to her concert. I only had about a week and a half to get it in the mail...it came in less a week, and I was ecstatic! Great CD, and it was a great concert!
IngenueMarch 20, 2009 Srikandi(USA) k.d. lang is my favorite singer. I love all the songs in this album...I can play the songs over and over again without getting tired of them...
