Artist:  k. d. lang and the Reclines

Title:  Absolute Torch and Twang

Date:  1989

Label:  Sire Records  9 25877-1

Art Direction:  Jeri Heiden and k. d. lang 

 

Notes:  The striking cover photos drew my eye to this one. The Ful blues of the sky along with k. d.'s look of contentment say is all. The record itself is a hoot full of fun tempered with a few slow, sad ones thrown in just so you don't get all full of yourself. "Big Boned Gal" is a favorite that must be seen live to fully appreciate, but even coming from the vinyl it still makes me smile. Altogether it's a fine outing for Ms. lang and company. Carry on k. d., carry on.
