"An excellent compilation of kd lang's work, from her kooky country punk days up to the torchy 1990's. A delightful feature is kd lang's roguish narration, as she introduces each music video, complete with background information and amusing anecdotes. You'll be amazed at her rich vocal versatility and her diverse singing styles."
Kd lang collection sure to entertain

"This collection of videos, gleaned from TV and live appearances, is mandatory viewing for the serious kd lang fan. It's chronological presentation allows the viewer to experience kd in the early years when she made regular apearances on country music's standard bearer, "Austin City Limits," and various other gigs. During the 1980s, kd changed her hairstyle more often than Hillary Clinton: from shags to buzz cuts to near baldness. Her outfits--generally the result of garage sale specials--are outlandish as well. One thing always remains constant: her energy, desire to please and raw talent. It is these attributes that have made her one of the true chanteusses of modern times.Lang narrates the video in her usual candid and honest manner, offering bits of minutia as she introduces each piece. This video, like kd, is overall very simple, yet chocked full of sardonic wit and ocassionally explodes with flamboyancy--once you see and hear Polly Ann, you'll understand.Harvest of Seven Years will undoubtedly become a cult icon favorite throughout the world."
First Released in '91

"This DVD is both fun and well put together. It's important to keep in mind that it's actually all from k.d.'s first 7 years and was originally released in 1991. Some of her newer hits, obviously then, are not going to be on it. I did not realize when I bought this that it was a re-release on DVD from '91 and was surprised but it was still a very worthwhile purchase. The vocals are great and some of the video from the 80's will have you laughing out loud."
A MUST

"This compilation takes the viewer from the video history of the music, the artistry, and the transformations of the brilliant k.d. to the music from the motion picture Salmonberries. For hard-core k.d. fans this is essential by just for the early video stuff like Johnny get Angry - LIVE to Barefoot AND Crying (also LIVE). For the music enthusiast - this is essential because k.d. is one of the most brilliant singers of the past century."
A Bumper Crop!

"Picture if you will (or can): a video bar, a Gay nightclub, Fresno, CA (of all places). 1985. The dance room was still thumping to Donna Summer, Madonna was only beginning to catch fire, the still somewhat new Frankie Goes to Hollywood was served up for the simple-minded dancers. In an adjacent room, a brave VJ ran what was one of the first domestic viewings of the video for "Hanky Panky," then a couple of weeks later, "Pollyann." Then & there I saw the future, and it was k.d. lang! It would be another couple of years before her first official domestic release [1987's "Angel with a Lariat"], and Roy Orbison would hand pick her for the career making duet of "Crying." Still another year before the even Nashville began to embrace her with the legendary "Shadowland" tribute to C&W balladry. All the while, she was turning heads in her native Canada, and putting neigh-sayers to shame with prophetic performances such as "Johnny Get Angry." Ultimately culminating with the excellent "Absolute Torch & Twang." Then her contribution to the first "Red Hot & Blue" for AIDS [Cole Porter's "So in Love" never sounded so good]. Finally with the hauntingly beautiful "Barefoot" from the otherwise forgettable, and admittedly boring film Salmonberries. Her own "off-handed, on-camera" commentary makes this a very personal piece of work. Sadly, there has not been a second, or even third edition of this excellent anthology to bring her career up to date, let alone mid-way, but for the rarity, and most often excellence of choice, this is a simply wonderful collection."
