Wow! Just wow!
I didn't know what I was in for. I only knew a couple of kd lang's songs prior to this show and though I liked them very much, I hadn't taken the time to dig into her catalog. I was going to be in Nashville on vacation and was told that I should catch a show at the historic Ryman if I could. My choices during my stay were kd and Loverboy so I chose kd lang because the date worked out better for me. I am SO glad that I chose this show!
I don't know if it was the acoustics in this venue (which were impeccable) or kd lang's voice or her incredibly talented band, probably all of it, but my friends and I left the show floating on a cloud. Reading other reviews, it seems that the effect was the same all around. Her voice was like an angel's, better than any recordings I have heard of hers, strong but full of emotion. She had great chemistry with her band and she was absolutely charming, funny, slightly political, and held her audience captive. One of the best concerts I have ever attended and I have been to a lot of shows! My friends and I are still talking about it. I will definitely see her again, even though the venues near me don't compare to the Ryman.
