I saw her live a year ago and it was overwhelming because she has been my favorite singer since the first time she made her debut. Roy orbison said she had "the best pipes in the business". You can't get a better compliment than that.
I am a very senior citizen, straight, and THIS IS THE BEST SONG I KNOW OF!! I can listen to this whole album over and over and over. Damn, she is great!! She should record MORE. I would love to see her before I go!
Since the first time I ever heard her voice I've found a way to let go of all the bad things from my days. This woman has been blessed with the gift of a voice that is unique and healing. She is truly a gifted woman. I will never get tired of listening to her and I hope that she knows and understands just how special her voice is. Ive never heard another that even comes close to the power and tranquility of hers. May her star forever shine
Heard "Absolute Torch and Twang" playing in a coffee shop the other day, which made me think, "Ah, yes. This is a perfect album." And here is a perfect performance of the tippity top jam of the album.
I remember buying this CD, in my 20s, in the early 90s, thinking of my father, who grew up on a farm in Minnesota: The lyrics, in my heart forever: "like this galloping, inside of me"...and I was, and am, a straight woman, loving kd lang, ..."tall, in the saddle"...I will always love these country images...and love kd forever...
I caught one of her songs last night flipping through TV channels... and I realized that she has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard... her phrasing and sense of timing for each verse is spectacular! VERY VERY under-rated, and yes probably because she doesn't look like Britney Spears... such a shame..... KD, you are one amazing singer, girl!!
I think this may be one of the best songs of all time. And sadly I think most people have never heard it. Beside the amazing vocal performance I love the musical arrangement and recording.
KD has been a standard in my music library nearly thirty years. She has this unique style, wit, and honesty that rings true in her music. I don't really understand what grabs me about her music, only that it does, does it really matter? I can't imagine with her gift, her not singing...what a loss for one and all. I have never been concerned, or cared about what clothing, food, or other life choices she chooses...her voice has just been a whisper and proclamation in my ears. Thank you Miss L
Who cares what Nashville says?? She IS the greatest singer of all times. We might all be dead and gone when it's totally realized, but we all know there's no one better. She's the best Country Western singer, Ballad singer of ALL time. Nashville knows it!! I NEVER get tired of listening to her music. When I try to listen to others, there's NO comparison. Thanks k.d.lang!
@sean3415 The first time I saw her in concert was in 1991 in Chicago-She sang "Crying" and when she was done, you could have heard a pin drop in that theatre for a few seconds -then the crowd lept to their feet in the most thunderous applause I have ever heard. The single best concert moment of my life-I'll never forget it.
K.D Lang your so hot!!! I had front eow seats in 2000 in Portland, Or. You are teue to your music and ive folloqed your career Every step. Thank you K.D for all you are and have become.xo never stop singing and writing beautiful songs. Tour fan Barbara Vancver Wa.usa
She should have, but time will tell. Someone with her talent will be a legend. When she's gone, they'll recognize just how great and powerful she was. Aren't we lucky that we recognize it now and have enjoyed it in our lifetime.
With the current huge vacuum in talent in the C & W genre, KD should make a comeback album and make this the cover song. This is just an epic performance all the way around! Really,,,I would buy it and so would my sisters!
Such an amazingly beautiful voice and talent. Her own songs and covers are equally incredible. #2 just behind Bruce Springsteen on my list of artists to meet.
@NatureGirl62 That's nice. I always loved that line too-"like this galloping inside of me" -you have a reason why-not sure why I do. Love the Trails of Broken Hearts song & video also. She can sing anything but these earlier "country songs" are the most powerful to me.
@sean3415 Let's hope somebody puts it up here. I heard her first on a cassette with the reclines. I fell in love with her voice then. Many years ago. Such passion.
"Tall in the saddle", I am, because my dad grew up on a farm in Minnesota in the 1920s. I love this song and always will, because it represents a farm upbringing I never had, but which my father had in the early 20th century. Thank you, Kathryn Dawn Lang.
@sean3415 Yeah, I saw that tonight show performance, as well, sean3415 -Everything about that performance was perfect -The live production on The Tonight Show was money! -Best live performance of this song I ever saw...
charming ....she is! ..and sexy @ summerfling.....the voice is endlessly full of excellence....thats exactly why ..im going to adore her in glasgow ,......lol......my birthday prezzz...love my big boned gal.....
Little confused at people saying KD Lang never made it as a country legend...I am 23 and my friends in the UK have heard of her, whereas I doubt they know who Carrie Underwood or Miranda Lambert is.
right, i always get those two backwards! (although I think Shadowlands is the best one :) and I agree she still had the influences present. i just meant, you know generally speaking, she wouldnt be the queen of country because she left country. those subsequent albums wouldnt be on the country charts love your name and photo!!!
Kevin, I don't think being gay hurt kd professionally at all. If anything, it might have somewhat helped her---from a certain curiosity about her androgyny. And in 2013, I don't think it hurts her career in the least. by the way, her beloved Canada has had full gay marriage for almost 10 years now:)
KD is far to good to have just been country. Traditional country music is a establishment when it comes down to it, in order to stay in that genre you have to be indebted to the sound & it's fan base, pretty much play the part and kiss ass at the Opry, she would have been shut out of there pretty fast after coming out as a lesbian, look happened to Chely Wright. KD not only has one of the best voices in music, she also has one of the most unique personalities, which makes her so stand alone.
skeetv123 No-one in the country music arena gave a damn about her sexuality, she was included everywhere. But you don't attack the beef industry and expect farmers to embrace you.
I saw this on the original TV broadcast and sat there with my jaw literally hanging open in awe. She’s amazing. I immediately bought the album.
Wise decision and you have excellent taste. ☺️
February 2024 and still addicted to kd omg ❤
I saw her live a year ago and it was overwhelming because she has been my favorite singer since the first time she made her debut. Roy orbison said she had "the best pipes in the business". You can't get a better compliment than that.
I'll never stop playing this 5 to10 times a year....never.
She is absolutely KILLING everything about this performance!!! Vocals, emotion, and that FIT 🤍💜
I am a very senior citizen, straight, and THIS IS THE BEST SONG I KNOW OF!!
I can listen to this whole album over and over and over. Damn, she is great!!
She should record MORE. I would love to see her before I go!
Close your eyes and it's a studio recording! Flawless, kd!

She is a fearless singer she gives her all no holds bared
I just adore kd lang pulling back the reigns wow awesome performance from her as usual
I remember buying this CD, in my 20s, in the early 90s, thinking of my father, who grew up on a farm in Minnesota: The lyrics, in my heart forever: "like this galloping, inside of me"...and I was, and am, a straight woman, loving kd lang, ..."tall, in the saddle"...I will always love these country images...and love kd forever...
I LOVE her voice, she sings so beautiful it makes my heart ache.
country, jazz,pop, classics, she could sing anything. love her.
I caught one of her songs last night flipping through TV channels... and I realized that she has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard... her phrasing and sense of timing for each verse is spectacular! VERY VERY under-rated, and yes probably because she doesn't look like Britney Spears... such a shame..... KD, you are one amazing singer, girl!!
Just magnificent! This has always been a huge favorite, & it's nice to see an early, passionate performance of it.
Love kds voice, hope she comes back soon. 2022
The woman has soul with a capital SOUL!!
I think this may be one of the best songs of all time. And sadly I think most people have never heard it. Beside the amazing vocal performance I love the musical arrangement and recording.
she is so swoooooooooooooooooooooon!! What an utterly delicious woman. Been a fan for twenty years and always will be. Simply amazing!
My God!!! This woman's talent blows my mind!
she's talented, handsome,charming... totally captivating!!!!
she is the real deal what a voice ,,,,,,,,,,,,,
what a freaking SONG, geeeeez! Loved this album when it came out, and been a kd fanatic for decades now... she is just godly.
A voice to thank God for....

definitely one of her best, she is a wonderful talent.
Mind boggling across-the-board.................... Such ungodly talent. Oh, and a phenomenal sense of humor..............
Such Godly talent God gifted K D
Isn't she the most CHARMING woman you've ever seen...?This is an OUTSTANDING perfomance..!!!
Always #1 with this beautiful voice! God bless you Kelly! 🙏🏼🥰❤️
Gordie Matthews is awesome on guitar with his tone, subtleties, and style. kd always has superb musicians to match her superb self.
I saw her perform this with my ex when we were married. Neither of us saw how this can happen, in that long-ago moment. What a beautiful song.
Who cares what Nashville says?? She IS the greatest singer of all times. We might all be dead and gone when it's totally realized, but we all know there's no one better. She's the best Country Western singer, Ballad singer of ALL time. Nashville knows it!! I NEVER get tired of listening to her music. When I try to listen to others, there's NO comparison. Thanks k.d.lang!
Powerful voice. Dont hold the mic that close. Your fantastic k d . 🎼❤🙏
thank you goddess 4 kd lang
great/great/great - what a perfect time for an amazing artist
thank you for posting this
Torch&twang...country&western=not my genres, but i'll listen to kd sing ANYthing with that voice [and this IS a good song, too]!
@sean3415 The first time I saw her in concert was in 1991 in Chicago-She sang "Crying" and when she was done, you could have heard a pin drop in that theatre for a few seconds -then the crowd lept to their feet in the most thunderous applause I have ever heard. The single best concert moment of my life-I'll never forget it.
Was that at Navy Pier?
This is so hard to sing live, but kd makes it look like it's easy ✨
My cousin was one of the few who could nail it. Sadly she’s no longer singing.
First time i saw/heard K.D. was this performance....had her CD in my ride that week. Absolute Torch and Twang
This is my all time favourite kd song. This is perfection. Torch & Twang a great album.
K.D Lang your so hot!!! I had front eow seats in 2000 in Portland, Or. You are teue to your music and ive folloqed your career Every step. Thank you K.D for all you are and have become.xo never stop singing and writing beautiful songs. Tour fan Barbara Vancver Wa.usa
You meant to say YOU'RE
you're= you are
She should have, but time will tell. Someone with her talent will be a legend. When she's gone, they'll recognize just how great and powerful she was. Aren't we lucky that we recognize it now and have enjoyed it in our lifetime.
I watch this video multiple times daily
So wonderful. Thank-you so very much for posting. Very cool.
With the current huge vacuum in talent in the C & W genre, KD should make a comeback album and make this the cover song. This is just an epic performance all the way around! Really,,,I would buy it and so would my sisters!
Holy Jesus-she gives me goosebumps
Dec 2019 still listening to kd singing this luv anything she sings absolutely perfection on legs
Now June 2020 still here through lock down
I am binge watching this song. I will always call it 'Tall In The Saddle".
this is my favourite song when kd sings it I'm in a different world so so brilliant singer
She IS the greatest country singer of all time!
Such an amazingly beautiful voice and talent. Her own songs and covers are equally incredible. #2 just behind Bruce Springsteen on my list of artists to meet.
Love her voice.
Superlatives fail here...that being said, k.d. lang is indisputably the BEST at what she does...(and we should all thank her for it.)
From the first, powerful note, she had me.
@NatureGirl62 That's nice. I always loved that line too-"like this galloping inside of me" -you have a reason why-not sure why I do. Love the Trails of Broken Hearts song & video also. She can sing anything but these earlier "country songs" are the most powerful to me.
Beautiful
Great song on many levels - singing performance unmatched!
Thanks for this! LOVE THIS SONG! XXX
@sean3415
Let's hope somebody puts it up here. I heard her first on a cassette with the reclines. I fell in love with her voice then. Many years ago. Such passion.
Such passion. such fire.
K.D. LANG you are so good and lovely person.
Ilove your songs you are so good singer and have a lovely voice .
K.DLang i find you great lady always funny and so lovely smile.
She is just incredible. There's no one like her
Woman has got soul !!!!
One of the best torch songs ever!
"Tall in the saddle", I am, because my dad grew up on a farm in Minnesota in the 1920s. I love this song and always will, because it represents a farm upbringing I never had, but which my father had in the early 20th century. Thank you, Kathryn Dawn Lang.
I think of Kathy the way I think of Rosemary Clooney and Neil Diamond. Anything she chooses to sing is just impeccable.
Sangin her ass off!!! WOW 👏🏾💯🎤
My favorite singer of all time
Love, love, love her....saw her in NY and she was perfect!!!! What a fucking voice.
What an amazing voice.
This was such a good song!
im a big country fan and i love KD Lang and Chely wright
@sean3415 Yeah, I saw that tonight show performance, as well, sean3415 -Everything about that performance was perfect -The live production on The Tonight Show was money! -Best live performance of this song I ever saw...
thanks jools for yet another exellent video and song. happy/heal thy new year. x, j :o)
I finally learn to love her voice...
INCENDIARY.
I read that she never became famous in country music because she was just too different, too unique...
Country music fans really missed out here!
LOVE k.d. lang!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how she sounds so feminine yet looks like a really cute boy!
SHE IS NOT ONLY MINE (CURRENT)BUT WAS MY LATE MOTHER'S DOLORES'S SPIRIT ANIMAL
charming ....she is! ..and sexy @ summerfling.....the voice is endlessly full of excellence....thats exactly why ..im going to adore her in glasgow ,......lol......my birthday prezzz...love my big boned gal.....
thank you.
It's the passion for me
DEFINITELY 🤯💣🔥🎧
AGREED! And I'm INFP-A! Google celebs Myer-Briggs. They have k.d.'s!! 2024
There are 3 persons who don't have a soul!!! What is there to dislike?
I wonder why she didn't do some serious jazz songs. She has the soul for it.
she could sing anything with her amazing voice.
She did a whole album with Tony Bennett.
Love kd
Little confused at people saying KD Lang never made it as a country legend...I am 23 and my friends in the UK have heard of her, whereas I doubt they know who Carrie Underwood or Miranda Lambert is.
@Weasleyforever I saw that concert..at the Auditorium right? it was amazing! Thanks for the memory.
Wau, i crave for new video every month, thanks for the video Jools :)
Wish I could like your comment 10 000 times.
❤️❤️❤️
Gah damn! Everything
I really feel this performance is more refined than the A.H. performance. Just my two cents....
Love this hardcore❤
right, i always get those two backwards!
(although I think Shadowlands is the best one :) and I agree she still had the influences present.
i just meant, you know generally speaking, she wouldnt be the queen of country because she left country. those subsequent albums wouldnt be on the country charts
love your name and photo!!!
well, she quit singing it. after shadowlands album she went the chanteuse direction, pop, and rock
Kevin, I don't think being gay hurt kd professionally at all. If anything, it might have somewhat helped her---from a certain curiosity about her androgyny. And in 2013, I don't think it hurts her career in the least. by the way, her beloved Canada has had full gay marriage for almost 10 years now:)
Unpopular observation: If Elvis Presley were a woman, he’d sound like k.d. lang.
KD is far to good to have just been country. Traditional country music is a establishment when it comes down to it, in order to stay in that genre you have to be indebted to the sound & it's fan base, pretty much play the part and kiss ass at the Opry, she would have been shut out of there pretty fast after coming out as a lesbian, look happened to Chely Wright. KD not only has one of the best voices in music, she also has one of the most unique personalities, which makes her so stand alone.

No-one in the country music arena gave a damn about her sexuality, she was included everywhere. But you don't attack the beef industry and expect farmers to embrace you.
@SummerSolstice06 Sorry about that, my mom posted with my account without asking!
