Title: Hyms of what?
Review: K.D.has one of the best contemporary voices.Like Streisand her lps range from greatly energetic and inspiring,to out of focus,narcissistic and detatched .Regretfully, K.D. Lang takes all the energy out of these classic canadian songs,by brilliant canadian composers such as Cohen,and Mitchell. She uses far too much effort in making them "sacred".Part of their value is that the originals took creative chances. This cd will never rival the original songs/writers/singers.The comparison makes this effort more lacking. I am starting to feel she is losing creative instinct in terms of her production,and creativity.Perhaps there is a renaissance in her future.I hope so.
