I don't share the hatred of country music that men in the dating pool seem to pride themselves on. But it certainly isn't my favorite genre, so I wasn't really looking forward to this album.
Thankfully, this was country music with a twist. There is a strong dose of jazz in here as well. k.d. lang has an excellent voice, which is showcased particularly well in "Once Again Around The Dance Floor." It's a testament to how much I respect her that I honored her capitalization wishes, as horrible as they are.
So maybe not an album I'll be returning to again and again, but an overall enjoyable entry on the List.
RATING: 3/5
