Producer: K.D. Lang, Craig Street

7th album - #29 US, #19 UK, #4 AUS, #39 CAN
Singles - The Joker
----------Theme From The Valley Of The Dolls

A covers album was due to ease the transition to K.D.s torch ballad phase. At least I wasn't familiar with most of them. I'm wishing The Joker
was a joke as that's how it turned out, not fitting in with the rest of the album for me. She does a decent job on The Air That I Breathe. Those are
the only 2 tracks familiar to most. You will notice a common theme with the album title and most tracks. I probably saw this and thought cool,
an album about smoking. Only have these 2 albums by her so any assessment I could give of her total catalogue wouldn't be fair. Failing to reach
a like grade on either one probably kept me from digging deeper. I will say her cover of Cohen's Hallelujah at the Juno awards is one of the
best live covers I have ever seen. I just watched it again. I get chills every time.
