CD Reviews

Sit back, put your feet up, and breathe in the serenity
George Dionne | Cape Cod, MA | 02/15/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"The Good

Lane's presentation of Creams' "White Room" and The Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin" are not quite as dark and dreary as the originals. With her serene and melodic vocals, the songs become a bit more romantic and uplifting. "Long Way From Home" (Foreigner) is a great AOR number with smooth, fuzzy guitars leading the charge. For her second Foreigner track Lane goes for the beautiful balladry of "Starrider." "Pink Moon Suite" combines Heart's "Johnny Moon" with almost the entire first side of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. The marriage of the two makes it seem the songs were cut from the same mold. As with most of the album, Lane is the star of the Heart track, but it's the backing band, and most notably keyboardist Erik Norlander's chance to shine on the Floyd tracks. If you are familiar with Lana Lane, then it's no surprise that she covers yet another Heart classic, "Dream of the Archer." Lana cites Nancy Wilson as a major influence.



The Bad

Not particularly an era of music I am all too familiar with or fond of.



The Verdict

I have been a fan of Lana Lane since the first time I heard her angelic voice. Although most Lana Lane albums are a little harder in the music department, all of Lana's beautiful melodies have followed her to this colorful venture. Sit back, put your feet up, and breathe in the serenity.
