k.d. lang - Recollection

A best-of I think compiled by lang herself, highlighting what a remarkable singer she is as well as reminding me what a monster of a song "Constant Craving" is (fresh off the Augustine 'region of unlikeness' riffs in American Innovations, I recognised a new resonance in that line "maybe a great magnet pulls all souls towards truth...") and how glorious the high points are on Hymns of the 49th Parallel, plus some others that I hadn't heard before including predictably luscious takes on "The Air That I Breathe" and "Crying" (with Roy Orbison).
