 (1 Customer Review)
LIVE BY REQUEST was recorded for the A&E television series with the same name.
Recorded live at John Jay College Of Criminal Justice, Brooklyn, New York on December 14, 2000.
K.D. Lang's first live album finds this amazingly talented artist and her eight-piece band taking a career-spanning tour through her genre-bending repertoire. Lang isn't shy about paying tribute to her heroes as she delivers an impressive range of covers by Roy Orbison ("Crying"), Patsy Cline ("Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray"), Peggy Lee ("Don't Smoke in Bed"), and Ella Fitzgerald ("Black Coffee"). When this Canadian chanteuse isn't deftly handling these interpretations, she's knee-deep in original material that's just as moving, particularly when rendered by such a crack band.
Among the many highlights are the delicate vulnerability of "Wash Me Clean" (highlighted by Greg Leisz's crying pedal steel), the loping humor of the semi-autobiographical "Big Boned Gal," and the irresistible hit "Miss Chatelaine" with its exuberant squeezebox and trilling guitar bringing to mind images of a romantic bistro. Elsewhere, Lang is equally at home pouring herself into the dreamy pop of 2000's INVINCIBLE SUMMER ("Summerfling," "The Consequences of Falling") and reaching back to the '80s for the hard country of earlier albums like ABSOLUTE TORCH & TWANG ("Pullin' Back the Reins," "Trail of Broken Hearts"). LIVE is a gem by a performer whose meandering creative path continues to yield gold.

The mid-1980s were a dire period for country music. Rampant commercialism and watered-down country-pop had taken over Nashville, and honest country singers with substantive songs were thin on the ground. Fortunately, a new generation of progressive country artists emerged, including Dwight Yoakam, Rodney Crowell, and Lyle Lovett, ...

The job of putting background beatscapes to the Spike TV martial arts anime miniseries AFRO SAMURAI, which stars the voice of Hollywood badazz Samuel L. Jackson, is a project worthy of one man alone. And as expected, the abbot of the Wu-Tang Clan rises to the occasion, laying down a slew of characteristically moody yet epic instrumental tracks, along with a share of blazing vocal cuts. The list of diverse MCs includes Q-Tip, Free Murder, the GZA, and Talib Kweli, as well as a line-up of peripheral Wu affiliates such as the Black Knights, True Master, 60 Second Assassin, and Suga Bang. Perhaps the hottest track comes courtesy of Big Daddy Kane who flips some of his classic lines from the Juice Crew era into a memorable hook on the inspired cut, "Cameo Afro." RZA's love of kung-fu movies, hard boom-bap beats, and cinematic sonic landscapes is the main attraction, though, and it works perfectly to evoke the show's brilliant combination ...
