Was it homesickness that compelled longtime Los Angeles resident k.d. lang to fashion her one-woman campaign for north-of-the-border nationalism, or just plain good sense? All Canadian content has long been a mainstay of the Canadian Broadcasting System, but few have selected their material with such a fine hand and a high aesthetic. The expatriate singer has taken great pains to create a sophisticated homage to her Canadian roots, elegantly reinterpreting 11 songs penned by some of her more illustrious countrymen (and women) such as Jane Siberry, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and Leonard Cohen. The idiosyncratic chanteuse turns Cohen's "Bird on a Wire" into an aching monochromatic lament, exploring new tributaries of pain that didn't exist in the original, while recasting Neil Young's "Helpless" into a haunting anthem of memory and comfort, all the while sounding anything but helpless. A gorgeous love letter to her brethren, complete with an intelligent and understated orchestration. --Jaan Uhelszki

Album Description

Hymns of the 49th Parallel fulfills k.d. lang's longstanding desire to create a Canadian songbook. On the album, her first for Nonesuch Records, she pays homage to fellow Canadian artists including Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Jane Siberry, Ron Sexsmith, and Bruce Cockburn.

She did it again !.......2007-06-19

I love this ! Absolutely wonderful.

A Place To Go.......2007-03-27

K.D. Lang's "Hymns of the 49th Parallel" is a good disc that celebrates her fellow Canadian artists. Often softened by strings, as on Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," Lang's voice is an amazingly expressive instrument. Ron Sexsmith's "Fallen" is a lovely melody that Lang polishes as she jumps into the upper register, "Love is always on the go." From Joni Mitchell's "Don Juan's Restless Daughter" set, Lang covers "Jericho" and shines Mitchell's idiosyncratic melody with its jazz inflections and unmasks the beauty in the piece, "I'll try to keep myself open up to you; It gets easier & easier to do, just like Jericho, let these walls come tumbling down now." Neil Young's "Helpless" is my favorite track on the set. It is such classic pop material that Lang nails with her vocal commitment, "There is a town in north Ontario, with dream comfort memory to spare, And in my mind I still need a place to go." It's exquisite. This 2004 set peaked @ #55 on the Billboard charts and at #2 on the Canadian charts. It is well worth dusting off this classic covers set that has timelessness as it spans songs from 1969 to 2001. Enjoy!

Pure gold.......2007-03-08

This set of covers sung by kd is truly intoxicating!

Having been a longtime kd fan, I was surprised that I never heard of the CD until a friend played it for me. This is mood music for romance and/or reflection.

The piano production is particularly outstanding, but kd's vocals are simply, well, unparalleled.

Stark Beauty .......2007-02-20

An amazing set of songs sung by an amazing singer. The beauty of lang's voice is a tonic to the senses. She makes all these songs her own. The best being "Love Is Everything" - - one of the saddest songs I have ever heard. kd has never sounded better. This is her at her best.

kd lang at her best.......2007-02-11

I have always loved kd lang, but I like this cd the best. Her singing is smooth as always, and the song choice is great. The 49th parallel (in case you didn't know) is the Canadian/US border, and the title refers to her homage to some of the greatest Canadian singer songwriters; Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Jane Siberry. An interesting side note: When Johnny Carson died, lang made a special appearance on the Tonight Show at Jay Leno's request. Apparently she was Carson's favorite. If you caught the performance, it was beautiful and very moving. The song she sang was from this cd. If you want a cd to lift your spirits give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.

AWESOME!.......2007-07-10

If you enjoy gospel music -- YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET! Elvis' incredible voice is perfect for the soulful lyrics. Plus he picks up the tempo on many of them making them sound more like rock. All of my favorites are on this 3CD set - so I'm very very happy that I bought it. I highly recommend it!

This CD is great!.......2007-07-07

Elvis sings gospel songs like no other! Some of the songs are a litte rough but you have to realize some songs were recorded in his home or at the studio while he is just playing around. The first disc is more of the released songs while some of the songs on the other CD's are live versions or unreleased versions with him laughing and talking. I thoroughly love this set!

Great gospel album!.......2007-07-05

I have always thought that Elvis' voice was never better than when he was singing gospel and this album proves it! Well done remastering, clear, very good sound. Absolutely a must for people who love gospel and Elvis!!

In today's worship-crazed phase of Christian pop, Mercy Me fits right in with smooth melodies, passionate lyrics, and a vertical focus. Yet the transition from worship band to major-label act demands more. Almost There promises just enough to allow it to rise above its inconsistencies. Prayer of Jabez-inspired "Bless Me Indeed" is a glimmer of brilliance where the group brings it all together, but it's the poignancy and power of "I Can Only Imagine" that testifies to Mercy Me's great potential. The dramatic ballad captures a believer's hope for the afterlife and is fueled by Bart Millard's authoritative vocals. The song will continue to be a staple in church worship services for years to come. Then there are the not so brilliant moments, including the cheesy "House of God" and "All Fall Down." Weak moments aside, Almost There offers enough fireworks to make Mercy Me an act to watch. --Michael Lyttle

Never Knew Why It Took So Long.......2006-12-08

In the wake of Christian rock bands who are trying to extend their spiritual message in a secular way, perhaps to reach a new audience, Mercy Me continues to stand out and impress with their blatant and unhindered worship songs that fill the airwaves with the perfect words to honor God. I have not heard one song by Mercy Me that did not make me nod my head in agreement or shout out loud to glorify the Lord. Now I can't understand why it took me so long to find my way to songs that openly worship, as opposed to songs that send subtle messages to the public that they may never get without a little help.

Bart Millard has one of the most soothing yet uplifting voices in the business. It is hard to listen to only a few minutes of his voice and not want more. It is also great to know that the band's growing fame has never weakened their desire to honor God in everything they do. They will remain a role model for other bands who wish to worship without fear of ridicule or lack of popularity. As Mercy Me has shown, "...We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

Perhaps you weren't convinced of the Verve's staying power until recently. Before the release of Urban Hymns, skeptics wondered if they could ever match the explosive power of their earlier dedications. In 1995, most critics dismissed their offerings of the time as vapid, romantic excursions. To their credit, the Verve have sustained their shadow rock legitimacy while introducing string arrangements, piano fills, and slide guitar. Nowhere are these stirring traits more obvious than in the epic single "Bitter Sweet Symphony." Laying it on thick throughout the rest of the album with painfully engaging ballads, the Verve have crafted their most accomplished album to date, proving the longevity of their cultural resonance. --Lucas Hilbert

Album Description

Japanese edition of their highly acclaimed 1997 album with the unmarked bonus track 'Lord, I Guess I'll Never Know'. 15tracks total, also featuring the hit 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' and singles 'The Drugs Don't Work' & 'Lucky Man', plus 'Deep Freeze', a hidden bonus track on the U.S. edition. Black & white picture CD with a group shot of the band. A Virgin release.

Customer Reviews:

What a shame.......2007-05-19

What a shame that The Verve was just a one hit wonder. This is a great cd, and while all the other songs are slightly over shadowed by Bittersweet Symphony, all of the songs are really good. This band should have had a much longer halflife then they did, but when you make a song as perfect as Bittersweet Symphony, you find it hard to top it. You all know you have downloaded that song (some illegaly), so for this great price, just go ahead and buy the album. Once you listen to the cd you won't be disapointed.

A great album and a correction.......2007-01-29

Firstly, just to correct "Morten Vindberg", Jagger and Richards only received a credit for "Bittersweet Symphony" because of the orchestra bits. The rest is pure Verve.

A very good album, containing such fantastic songs as "Sonnet", "Lucky Man" and my favourite, the closer, "Come On". I love the way this songs builds and builds and almost transports you to that "Mad Richard" place.

I don't think this album is stuck in its time - I think this album will be enjoyed and appreciated for many years to come.

A Brit-Pop Classic.......2007-01-13

I think the Verve's final album "Urban Hymns" from 1997, must be regarded as one of the finest of the early brit-pop movement 1993-97. Lead-singer and main song-writer Richard Ashcroft delivers some outstanding pop-ballads to the album, which sadly became the final. I have not heard their early album in their whole, but it's my impression that this album is significantly different; not as hard-rcoking and more acoustic.

The opener and world-wide hit "Bittersweet Symphony" is a great song built up around a string-loop based on the old Rolling Stones song "The Last Time". Jagger and Richards are also credited as songwriters, which I find very generous of the band, as you have to listen very carefully to notice any similarities to the old Stones song.

The other stand-outs on the album are mostly quiet songs with the acoustic guitar and Ashcroft's vocal in front.

The brilliant "Sonnet" belongs to this cathegory; as does the other hit-single off the album "The Drugs Don't Work" - beautiful and sad. "Lucky Man" is yet another example.

Slightly harder is "Space and Time" which is melodic and which has a great hook and chorus.

"Velvet Morning" and "Good Day" are other solid songs.

The rest of the album I tend to find slightly forgettable. Some songs simply go on for too long, while others just sound like unnecessasy fillers. Considering the long playingtime of the album (app. 70 minutes ), I think the album would have made a much stronger general impression if some of these tracks had been left out. A big shame if people lose interest before reaching "Lucky Man" and "Velvet Morning". Still a great album, though!!

Urban Hymns.......2006-12-17

Urban Hymns~ The Verve starts out with bang. Bittersweet symphony written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards is pure gold and one of the best rock songs ever written. The lyrics to this song is so powerful and what rings true in this track is its eternal truths. Just this track alone gives this album full marks and it is seldom if ever I would give one single track this kind of credit. The rest of the album is just as good and the verve is one talented band indeed. So is there something negative to be said about this album? Well unfortunately yes and it has nothing to do with the music at all. The book-let is a travesty with blurry photos, terrible liner notes, shoddy font and no lyrics. However, do not get me wrong, this is a brilliant album that fully deserves 5 out of 5 stars.

love it.......2006-11-25

I'm not going to go through each song, as a whole it is lush, melancholy, and hopeful. The guitars are effect-heavy (in a good way), the music is jammy and dreamy. The lyrics are poetic. It's a comfortable album. You could curl up and sleep in it.

Still yourself... and listen to this fine work by Fernando Ortega. As you listen and think of excellent and noble things you will experience Grace and Peace in your world-weary soul. In fact if you see Fernando's name on it - - buy it. Like all of Fernando Ortega's music, The Shadow of Your Wings: Hymns and Sacred Songs does not disappoint!

A Most Relaxing and Peaceful Collection.......2007-07-01

This album was my first introduction to Fernando Ortega, and I'm absolutely hooked now. This has to be one of the most peaceful and relaxing collections I have ever heard. The melodies are beautiful and the words are so simple and pure (most are direct quotes from scripture). I even use it in my 3 year-old son's bedroom for lullabies. These songs make you think and reflect on God and His Son. I particularly like how Fernando blends scriptures from the Old and New Testaments into one song (Let the Words of My Mouth). I am an oncology nurse, and at the end of a stressful work day, I can listen to this in my car, and I am instantly refocused & refreshed. I wholeheartedly recommend this album - you won't regret it!

A Deeply Worshipful Album.......2007-02-24

I have grown to love Fernando's work. As I get older, I enjoy his music--it really draws me into God's presence, especially as I'm reading the Word or praying. Not all Christian music does that for me, but Fernando's does.

This album is wonderful, its pensive, thoughtful. I really sense that Fernando means what he says, that he's deeply into the music and not just creating another CD.

I really recommend this CD, it really helps draw you into the heart of God.

personal worship.......2007-02-09

A great CD for personal worship time. Fernando Ortega does a great job to perpare your heart for worship.

If you like Fernando Ortega's past works, you'll love this new edition. It has everything and more than the old stuff. Very spiritual and beautiful music.

Beautiful music.......2007-05-20

I spent quite a bit of money before finding a Christian CD that I really liked. This one is exactly what I was looking for. Every song is as beautiful as the one before it, and they all give you a wonderful feeling inside.

Good CD.......2007-04-18

I really like this CD. It has some of the fun classic hymns on it.

I would recommend this cd to anyone. My only complaint is that some of the songs are a little faster and jazzier than you sing in church.

Outstanding.......2007-01-11

A wonderful collection of hymns performed by an outstanding group of musicians! Every time I listen to this CD I am blessed all over again. A "must have" in your collection.

A Classic.......2006-09-13

I've owned this cd for over a year now and this is my absolute favorite Christian cd to listen to. I'm always searching for a fresh sound and quality music, and this one did it for me. The whole cd is awesome. Both the arrangements and vocals are excellent. This cd is nice to worship to by singing along to it or it is just as nice to layback and listen to and meditate about God. Some of my favorites are "Be Though My Vision", "Amazing Grace", "It is Well with My Soul", "By and By", "Power in the Blood" and "Just a CLoser Walk with Thee". If you are looking for something old, yet a little fresh, give this one a try. In my opinion, every song was sung, arranged, and produced with perfection.

The best cd I'v e bought in a long time.......2006-03-19

Because of mp3s readily being available, I have found I no longer buy the whole cd but just my favorites. After listening to the previews, I bought the whole cd and am so glad I did A cross between updated classic hymns and soulful sound, Selah has outdone themselves on this one. Some songs I have to play again from the emotion they stir. An outstanding compilation with a tremendous sound of harmony and haunting depth of heart.

Album Description

Revised with 2 significant tracks and artwork not previously included. When Elvis was growing up, the Presley family attended the First Assembly Of God church in Tupelo and subsequently in Memphis. Elvis's music was greatly influenced by attending these churches, but reglious music came to Elvis in many shapes and forms. Religious songs were often part of the repertoire for country stars on the Grand Ol' Opry - a syndicated radio Nashville broadcast that the Presley's almost always tuned into on Saturdays. As a teen, Elvis and his friends would sneak into churches in the black neighborhoods to catch the lively music of a different musical heritage. The welcoming congregation and uplifting sound opened up Elvis's understanding of the multiple facets of reglious music. ULTIMATE GOSPEL provides testament to Elvis's musical excellence and acknowledges the priceless contribution of the talented songwriters, musicians and producers involved.

Customer Reviews:

ELVIS: ULTIMATE GOSPEL.......2007-05-12

This is the real Elvis. It shows Elvis's true roots. I recommend this cd to anyone who wants to discover the real heritage Elvis left behind.

His BEST single CD Gospel collection!.......2007-03-08

Very powerful performances and of course Elvis' voice is unmatched. He was made to sing Gospel and he puts his heart into every performance. The only Grammies he won were for his Gospel recordings. I know there are many Elvis Gospel collections available, but this one is his best single CD Gospel collection! To top this one you would have to get the 2 CD "Amazing Grace" or the 3 CD "Peace in the Valley" set.

This release is slightly different than the original "Elvis Ultimate Gospel" CD released a few years ago. On this version they added two songs "In My Father's House" and "An Evening Prayer" and deleted "Miracle Of The Rosary". I guess you could say this is the Protestant version of "Elvis Ultimate Gospel". If you like Gospel music and don't want to spend a lot of money on multi-CD releases, I highly recommend this CD.

God's music uplifts the spirit.......2007-03-17

His special music uplifts the spirit - always and in all ways. This is a wonderful 2 disc set that surrounds us in a sacred atmosphere. Like a sprinkle of rain on a sunny day, the sampling of favorite hymns refreshes and enlivens the heart.

nostalgia.......2007-03-08

My mother attended a church her whole life where these hymns were sung and played repeatedly until the music became inextricable from her life. She enjoys this collection immensely; however, it has a few shortcomings. Occasionally some of the hymns are short enough to seem a demo rather than a full-fledged track on the CD. Other times, however, the melodies and harmonies--if simple--engage the listener in a pleasurable experience.

If these hymns are a positive memory for you, you will likely not be disappointed by the offering here for its expansiveness if nothing else. In sum, it is recommended.

The 50 Most Loved Hymns.......2007-01-12

They are the songs we grew up with and they just bring back such pleasure to your ears. Great sing along songs and worship and praise and its just wonderful music. All different artists and both albums are just nonstop and great music -- its definitely well worth it!!!

nice music but not full-length.......2006-12-06

I was looking for a few good CDs of Christian hymns. This received strong reviews, so I bought it. The music is very good quality, not at all a class B production. The vocals are good, harmonious (though they can be a bit loud at a few parts) and the instruments sound great. However, one thing that no reviewer has mentioned is that the songs on these two CDs, all "50" of them, are not full-length. They only sing the first 1 or 2 verses to each song. Basically, they are 2 minute samples of the actual hymns, which is disappointing. I was hoping to learn the words to these songs and be able to sing them as I went about the day. I enjoy that the resources are available, but the case ought to explain these are not full hymns. If this does not bother you, then I would recommend these CDs for their quality. I hope this helps. God bless.

Had Potential.......2006-11-10

The music on this CD sounds fantastic, but BE AWARE that they are only short segments of the hymns. For example, I specifically bought the CD for "Be Thou My Vision", which is actually only a short instrumental, and "Crown Him With Many Crowns", which only had one verse. Not good for a rousing sing-along while you do the dishes!

Diversity is more than just a buzzword for Donnie McClurkin. As shown by his massive success both inside and outside the U.S., the right reverend from Long Island embraces many stylistic approaches (and languages) as he delivers his brand of gospel. It's never more evident than in Psalms, Hymns & Spiritual Songs, a McClurkin double-disc live worship celebration. Opening with Robin Mark's "Days of Elijah" and McClurkin's own "I Will Sing," a praise-and-worship motif sets the stage for later similar tracks like Michael W. Smith's "Agnus Dei" and the medley "Draw Me Close/I Am Thine Oh Lord." Backed by a 40-piece orchestra and a powerhouse choir, McClurkin closes the opening disc strongly in tandem with the legendary Richard Smallwood on the classic "Total Praise." The second disc is dedicated more to traditional gospel with tracks like "I Love To Praise Him" and "Jesus Medley." McClurkin livens up the fare with the "Language" medley, singing in English, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish, ending the string with Joann Rosario as they duet on "Saciame Senor Yo Se Que Estas Aqui." You shouldn't miss the bonus cut here as well with McClurkin and Kirk Franklin teaming up for a slick and pleasing cover of the 70's soul classic "Ooh Ooh Child." The offering is generous on Psalms, Hymns & Spiritual Songs and Pastor McClurkin holds nothing back in this fire-and-ice worship celebration. --Michael Lyttle

I brought this album awhile back and still listen to it frequently.

Gaylr R. Donham.......2007-05-14

This is a very good product.I liked it so much I ordered a second one for a friend of mine.

Gospel music at its best.......2007-05-13

I have never heard the Lord's praises sung more beautifully. Highly recommended collection. The live version of "How Great Thou Art" from 'Elvis In Concert' is a powerful take on the recorded version.

I was singing bass, but he covered me up. He wiped me out........2007-01-26

Did you know that Elvis Presley's four Grammy nominations (and two wins) for "Best Sacred or Inspirational Performance" were his ONLY Grammy nominations? Yes, it's true. Elvis' gospel recordings are among his most heartfelt performances. This two CD collection features all the songs from the Peace in the Valley EP, the His Hand in Mind LP, the How Great Thou Art LP, the He Touched Me album and most of his other gospel recordings; including a previously unreleased jam session between Elvis and the Stamps, which was filmed for the documentary Elvis On Tour. Great stuff, but I would recommend getting the three CD collection called Peace in the Valley: The Complete Gospel Recordings. That collection has everything from this collection, plus: the gospel songs from the Million Dollar Quartet jam session, several home recordings, four songs from Elvis movies, "Peace in the Valley" live on the Ed Sullivan Show, "Who Am I?", "Life", "I Got a Feelin' in My Body", two songs from Las Vegas rehearsals, the live version of "Help Me", the "Gospel Medley" from the 1968 Comeback Special, an off-the-cuff performance of "The Lord's Prayer" and the live version of "How Great Thou Art" from the Elvis in Concert television special. Whew! But if you don't want those songs, this collection will be good enough for you.

AMAZING GRACE: ELVIS SACRED PERFORMANCES.......2007-01-09

I loved all of Elvis's music; however, this is the most moving music I HAVE EVER HEARD. When he sings How Great Thou Art -- there isn't any artist that could come close to performing the song as he does. He is magnificient.

Amazing Grace.......2007-01-05

I didn't know whether I'd like "religious music" by Elvis, I'd only heard his movie tunes & of course the songs we all know - Hound Dog, etc. I bought this while persuing my personal religious journey, I like Elvis, figured this would be okay to get inspired with. Whoah!!! Elvis usually takes a song makes it his own, sometimes you don't recognize it. He doesn't do that with sacred music. What he does do is enter the Kingdom through song. He sings with intensity, longing & you do not doubt his own religious conviction. I especially love the gospel tunes of his southern upbringing. My favorite songs are Milky White Way & Lead Me, Guide Me. This is a lot of music on 2 cd's, well worth the money.
