Dave M gave it a10:
Wow, I just discovered this cd after hearing a bit of k.d.'s interpretation of "Helpless" on 'Brothers and Sisters.' What an incredible cd. Truly.
Steve S gave it a7:
Consummate and perhaps overly respecfful interpretations at a hallowed arm's distance. Recalls the awed sense of reverence of Shadowland. One longs for a Yee Haa to convey spontaneity and passion, sadly lacking on this CD,
Mike R gave it a9:
Wonderful voice does great justice to some iconic songs
Mark B gave it an8:
The low ratings are unjustified. Yes, it's lags just a bit here and there at first, but repeated listens takes care of that as each note and sentiment find a way to resonate in your heart and mind. I'm not a fan of some of the songs, but her interpretations are first rate.
Tracie H gave it a10:
kd has a voice like no other. I think that she could take any song and make it her own. She is passionate about her music. Love the ablum.
wick sly gave it a 10:

Kim G gave it a 9:
