Summary: Actually searching for information
Review: About 10 years ago, I saw a video of K.D. performing "Crying". It was at an AIDS benefit, and she was dressed in a beautiful evening gown. It was a very moving performance, and I have not seen it since. Is it available on amy of here DVD's or can someone tell me where I may find it?

Thanks

Summary: Canada's Chanteuse Chronicles Career!
Review: An excellent compilation of kd lang's work, from her kooky country punk days up to the torchy 1990's. A delightful feature is kd lang's roguish narration, as she introduces each music video, complete with background information and amusing anecdotes. You'll be amazed at her rich vocal versatility and her diverse singing styles.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: For real fans only
Review: As a hard core fan of ms. lang, I will admit I was excited to take a look at the earlier encarnations. The monotone introduction by k.d. did not help ease in to the nostalgia. The first few are what you would expect with no budget. There is a "surprise introduction" of her as "kathryn lang" during the first tv appearance. It really picks up with the live performances taped for the Olympics and other shows. She starts to let go, have a great time, and sing up a storm.

The best thing is the dress. She must only have one dress, which she wears on her first tv appearance and, years later, the tribute to Roy Orbison. One dress in all that time and it's captured on video forever. I'm not here to review the dress, but if I was it would get one star. Don't let the dress distract you from an AMAZING version of the Orbison classic, "Crying" which she really owns as a vocalist.

The treasures are the songs from the film Salmonberries (directed by Percy Adlon) and the video from Red Hot and Blue. Gus van Sant (Drug Store Cowboy and Good Will Hunting) directed the Red, Hot, and Blue video.

A must have for fans who want to see k.d. grow up as an artist. I gave it three stars because I couldn't watch the whole thing over again, only the songs I liked. There are some great moments and the music is good, but one song is on there twice. I would rather have one less song than two versions of the same song. There wasn't even an explanation why it was so important to see it again.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: kd lang collection sure to entertain
Review: This collection of videos, gleaned from TV and live appearances, is mandatory viewing for the serious kd lang fan. It's chronological presentation allows the viewer to experience kd in the early years when she made regular apearances on country music's standard bearer, "Austin City Limits," and various other gigs.

During the 1980s, kd changed her hairstyle more often than Hillary Clinton: from shags to buzz cuts to near baldness. Her outfits--generally the result of garage sale specials--are outlandish as well. One thing always remains constant: her energy, desire to please and raw talent. It is these attributes that have made her one of the true chanteusses of modern times.

Lang narrates the video in her usual candid and honest manner, offering bits of minutia as she introduces each piece. This video, like kd, is overall very simple, yet chocked full of sardonic wit and ocassionally explodes with flamboyancy--once you see and hear Polly Ann, you'll understand.

Harvest of Seven Years will undoubtedly become a cult icon favorite throughout the world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST
Review: This compilation takes the viewer from the video history of the music, the artistry, and the transformations of the brilliant k.d. to the music from the motion picture Salmonberries. For hard-core k.d. fans this is essential by just for the early video stuff like Johnny get Angry - LIVE to Barefoot AND Crying (also LIVE). For the music enthusiast - this is essential because k.d. is one of the most brilliant singers of the past century.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: First Released in '91
Review: This DVD is both fun and well put together. It's important to keep in mind that it's actually all from k.d.'s first 7 years and was originally released in 1991. Some of her newer hits, obviously then, are not going to be on it. I did not realize when I bought this that it was a re-release on DVD from '91 and was surprised but it was still a very worthwhile purchase. The vocals are great and some of the video from the 80's will have you laughing out loud.

Rating: 5 stars
