The perfect marriage of Rhythm & Rhyme…

When this album was released in the March of 1992, I personally had never heard of K.D. Lang.
All this was about to change with the release of “Constant Craving” as a single from the album I was completely blown away what a performance, I had never heard anything like it before.

On one hand the vocals reminded me of an old torch singer like Peggy Lee or Patsy Cline but on the other hand there was an element in her voice that give me the feel of Elvis or Roy Oribson, this was enough of a reason for me to go and buy the album.

As the album opened with the track “Save me” I held my breath this was heart stopping stuff, as I checked the sleeve notes I saw not only was she a voice to die for but she co-wrote all the tracks, all with her producers Greg Penny and Ben Mink. This track also contained some excellent “Lap Steel Guitar” playing by Greg Leisz, which added for me a haunting feeling of melancholy.
All the songs on this album are beautiful but pain soaked love songs, which to me make the best songs, I mean too say what the point of making music without emotion and feelings.

Mr Mink not only co-produced this masterpiece but also did the string arrangements for the whole album; he also played guitar, bass, violin and viola across the 10 tracks that the album contains.

After doing some research on Ms Lang I found out that this album was a departure from her usual style, which was usually a little more country in nature.
In recording this collection of songs K.D. has made an album that is totally revealing of herself and her life up to that point, a very intense but highly enjoyable album for anyone who loves music, and these days you can pick up a copy for about a fiver in most record stores e.g. FOPP...
