LIVE BY REQUEST was recorded for the A&E television series with the same name.

Personnel: K.D. Lang (vocals); Greg Leisz (electric & pedal steel guitars); Gregg Arreguin (guitar); Teddy Borowiecki (keyboards); David Piltch (bass); Abe Laboriel Jr. (drums); Amy Keys, Kate Markowitz, Windy Wagner (background vocals).

Recorded live at John Jay College Of Criminal Justice, Brooklyn, New York on December 14, 2000.

K.D. Lang's first live album finds this amazingly talented artist and her eight-piece band taking a career-spanning tour through her genre-bending repertoire. Lang isn't shy about paying tribute to her heroes as she delivers an impressive range of covers by Roy Orbison ("Crying"), Patsy Cline ("Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray"), Peggy Lee ("Don't Smoke in Bed"), and Ella Fitzgerald ("Black Coffee"). When this Canadian chanteuse isn't deftly handling these interpretations, she's knee-deep in original material that's just as moving, particularly when rendered by such a crack band.

Among the many highlights are the delicate vulnerability of "Wash Me Clean" (highlighted by Greg Leisz's crying pedal steel), the loping humor of the semi-autobiographical "Big Boned Gal," and the irresistible hit "Miss Chatelaine" with its exuberant squeezebox and trilling guitar bringing to mind images of a romantic bistro. Elsewhere, Lang is equally at home pouring herself into the dreamy pop of 2000's INVINCIBLE SUMMER ("Summerfling," "The Consequences of Falling") and reaching back to the '80s for the hard country of earlier albums like ABSOLUTE TORCH & TWANG ("Pullin' Back the Reins," "Trail of Broken Hearts"). LIVE is a gem by a performer whose meandering creative path continues to yield gold.
