One of these days I’ll get around to compiling a list of my favorite albums, and I’ll make it a long list… 50 or so. Maybe a hundred. Because here I am 97 songs into this Song of the Day series and I keep stumbling upon not just songs but albums that absolutely floor me.
Yesterday it was Sarah McLachlan’s Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. Recent weeks have highlighted songs from such great albums as Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks, Aretha Franklin’s I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You, Lucinda Williams’ self-titled debut and Beck’s Sea Change. All completely different, all completely great.
Today I turn the spotlight on k.d. lang’s masterpiece, Absolute Torch and Twang.
