K.D. Lang - Drag

First time on vinyl!

Remastered edition on smoky-colored vinyl with etched D-side

"Filled with seriously beautiful singing, Drag sharpens Ms. lang's image as pop music's smartest post-modern torch singer." — New York Times

"A collection of covers that are somehow related to smoking, Drag is far more ambitious than the average cover record." — AllMusic

Sensual, seductive, and above all smoky, Drag 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.
