Product description

K.d. Lang - Drag - CD

Amazon.com

Sensual, seductive, and above all smoky, the latest from k.d. lang is a collection of a dozen tunes that all have some connection to smoking--usually in the romantic, post-coital sense--done up in a lush, orchestrated fashion. Some of these tunes are standards, such as "Smoke Dreams" and "My Last Cigarette," while others are just plain strange selections given some of the oddest readings imaginable. Case in point: the cover of Steve Miller's "The Joker." lang's voice is an incredible instrument, and it's a treat to hear her vamping. But you have to wonder what she's up to, especially because she seems to just say no to tobacco herself, --Jim Derogatis

5.0 out of 5 stars The best sizzle and smoke since the Divine Miss M
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2000

Before "Drag" the only music I had heard by kd was the duet she did with Roy Orbison "Crying", which ranks as one of the best pop duets. "Drag" had some interesting selections so I purchased it on a whim. "Don't Smoke In Bed" could only be equaled by Midler's sizzle and sarcasm. You can almost feel the burn baby burn as she's walking out of the bedroom. Carly Simon did this same song on her "Film Noir" Cd but kd's version takes the prize. "The Air That I Breathe" was one of the songs I wanted to hear (I thought if she did half as well on this one as she did on "Crying" it would be worth the Cd). This song was made for infinite interpretations, and kd's is by far the one I like best. You feel a sensuous humanity in her voice and the lyrics. Albert Hammond remains one of the great underated writers of pop music, and his music really shines here. "Smoke Dreams" takes you into some smokey nightclub with smoke rings spiraling upward and everywhere. "My Last Cigarette" a perfect blend of country (not my favorite) and pop music. This one sneaks up on you. "The Joker" a very personal and suggestive piece. Read between the lines and enjoy. "The Valley Of The Dolls" is the big triumph on this Cd. The thoughtful lyrics and wind-swept melody sweeps you away. My favorite version of this song. "Your Smoke Screen" a quiet piece that holds its own. "My Old Addiction" great cello and piano intro. Again, this is the type and quality of music that made Bette Midler famous. This one reminds me of Midler's "Am I Blue". Same subtle intensity and message. "Till My Heart Caves In" is one of a handful of country type songs that really works for me. You can feel the earth slip from beneath you as she slowly brings your heart into this twangy crescendo until you can only give in to its irrisistable tug and pull. "Smoke Rings" is a little more country than I like but is well done and is ripe for some nightclub act. "Hain't It Funny" probably her most steamy and honest song on this Cd. Fantastic! "Love Is Like A Cigarette" a perfect song to end this perfect Cd. I suppose you could live without this Cd, but why? Press on the order button immediately!

This is an oldie, been out for a long time, but do you have it?? You should. Do you own k.d.lang cd's? You should. She is one of the finest singers you could ever listen too and this disc is so sultry. It is hot!
k.d.lang has won five Grammy's including rock, country, and traditional pop, artist of the year. Add her to your list and soon she will be a favorite. What a voice! When you ask folks about favorite singers, she is so often forgotten, don't let this happen to you.

My favorite k. d. Lang album. Astonishing voice. Just gorgeous to hear. But album’s cheeky subject matter also given the allure a long-time former smoker appreciates.

I loved this series of smoky songs, even though I no longer smoke, I picture myself sitting in a lounge, listening to these bluesy songs song as I contemplate many things in life. However, I usually dimmed the lights in my living room and just enjoyed the great voice of a singer who knows how to put the deep emotion into her songs. Love listening to her .I highly recommend this album for kd lang fans

5.0 out of 5 stars Love her music
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2014

I have always loved KD Langs' voice, but dislike country music. After years and years of resisting actually purchasing the music, I finally gave in. Having never owned her music, I always heard it through friends and cross over radio. Most of her music are new songs for me, even though the CD may be years old. I like that. After listening to the several CD's, I'm glad I caved. Such crap on the radio anymore.

Well, I think I have another "favorite" of KD Lang's ! This was suggested to me while I was traveling on business and the guy just raved about it- wish I had gotten his business card so I could send him a thank you note! Love the way she relates everything to smoke, love and the last cigarette- If you like her music even a "little" you'll love this album!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 3, 2022

Not sure I really needed the smoky vinyl rather than plain old black, but the audio quality on this first release to vinyl (obviously recorded digitally) is very good. I like the album anyway (have it on cd) and you can listen on Spotify before you buy but it’s a good sounding modern pressing. It may also be that I’ve upgraded my turntable in the past year, but I think I prefer this on vinyl to the cd version. Would recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nuancenreiche Stimme, die nie langweilig wird.
Reviewed in Germany on May 5, 2015
Verified Purchase
Ich sah die Sängerin neulich durch Zufall in der Wiederholung einer älteren "Later with Jools Holland" Sendung auf ZDF-Kultur und kannte sie vorher nicht. Sofort war ich von ihrer ausdrucksstarken Stimme angetan. Ich habe dann im Internet in verschiedene Alben von ihr hineingehört und bin bei "Drag" gelandet, woraus auch die beiden Titel stammten, die ich im Fernsehen gesehen hatte. Ich finde, der Nuancenreichtum ihrer Stimme kommt bei der Art von Liedern, wie sie sich auf dieser CD befinden, am besten zur Geltung. Für mich gibt es nur zwei Arten, diese Musik zu genießen: Zum ersten als Hintergrundmusik in einer stilvollen Bar mit einem guten Cocktail in der Hand und - sofern man Raucher ist - bei diesen Texten natürlich mit einer Zigarette. Die andere Möglichkeit ist, sich ganz auf die Musik zu konzentrieren (sehr gut mit Kopfhörer), die Augen zu schließen und sich von der Stimme und den Arrangements, die nie langweilig werden, forttragen zu lassen.
