K.D. Lang – Live By Request

K.D. Lang
Artist: K.D. Lang
Title: Live By Request
Label: Warner Bros.
Rating: 5/10

Way back in December, K.D. Lang played on A&E’s Live By Request. From what I can gather, the rules are that people vote in on the tracks that the artist plays. What fans got were fourteen songs, assumingly the best of her best.

Well, Lang gets off three tracks from her most recent album, Invincible Summer, and that worked out alright from a marketing standpoint, especially since they aren’t quite her best.

Lang’s best album, Absolute Torch & Twang, brings three tracks, two of which are “Big Boned Gal” and “Trail Of Broken Hearts”.

Some of the reworked songs are nice, especially “Don’t Smoke In Bed”, but for the most part it’s nothing more than a greatest hits package without a lot of hits, except for a cover of Roy Orbison’s “Crying”, which was a hit for him while here it’s nothing.
