kd lang collection sure to entertain, April 10, 1999
By A Customer
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, December 1, 2004
This review is from: k.d. lang - Harvest of Seven Years (Cropped and Chronicled) (DVD)
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, December 14, 2000
This review is from: k.d. lang - Harvest of Seven Years (Cropped and Chronicled) (DVD)
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.
