Mandy Barnet, again
I had been paying not so close attention to the Mandy Barnet thread, but did anyone mention the obvious kd lang/owen bradley/shadowland comparison? If I am being redundant, please forgive me for I am not all together, together.g If not let the expounding begin... Wynn

Not only is Mandy's new one the best album of its kind since Shadowland, but for my money, it's much better. And I like Shadowland quite a bit.

Never thought I'd say this, but boy, I wish I had TV! Who did Rhonda Vincent play with on TNN? BTW, I like lang's voice better, but the songs on "I've got a right to cry" move me more. Wynn np: "with my eyes wide open..."
RE: Mandy Barnet, again
The one thing that makes me wish I'd been there in person was that when they came back from the last break, they - Shaffer and Barnett's backup - were just finishing up "Last Date," and I'd like to have heard that. Me too... I just found out that my buddy was there for the show last night... I'll have to hit him up for info. this weekend morgan

Don Yates: Not only is Mandy's new one the best album of its kind since Shadowland, but for my money, it's much better. I'd agree. Overall, the song selection is much stronger on Barnett's album, and the Nashville sound hommage is employed with much more 'subtlety'. Though I wonder whether this is because two thirds of the songs are produced by Harold Bobby Bradley alongside Barnett, rather than Owen Bradley himself. I find myself preferring their work. Jon Weisberger: I think Barnett's got a deeper affinity for the Bradley/Patsy Cline sound than lang did. Well, this is probably due to Barnett's stage experience. There's also the simple reason of how geography affects a singer's vowels sounds. Rural Alberta's a long ways from Virginia. lang's strongest country album was Absolute Torch N' Twang, anyhow, and I'll rate her version of Three Days over Barnett's take on her debut.

Well, sure; it's certainly not surprising that someone who sang Patsy Cline songs for a couple of hours a night for a couple of years would have internalized her sound more than someone who didn't g.
