Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers?

DK bores me, too. Contrary to Buxter, I find Patricia Barber to be innovative and an interesting lyricist, much like Dave's True Story.

Patricia Barber, Tierney Sutton, Paula West, Christine Tobin all put out much better recordings (IMO) than DK.

Buxter,

I agree that musical tastes are personal. I just hope we 'gonners don't take things personally in the process of exchanging opinions and views.

Speaking of personal tastes, what's your favorite single malt? Perhaps another thread on this?! For me, Lagavulin, Talisker, Knockando, depending on my mood, time of day, time of year....

"Stepping Out" is OK. I don't know that her looks is all that gets the attention. Tierney Sutton is pretty damn good looking herself, a much better singer, has terrific engineers (IMO) at Telarc, but is only a dim glow in the music scene compared to DK. I think it's partly a marketing thing.

Rayhall...that was hysterical!!

I listened to some cuts from Stepping Out and other DK discs last night. I can't exactly say that she croons, Ernie. Sounds to me more like shouting. Maybe it the engineering...putting her too far forward?

Listen to "Remember Me" on Tierney Sutton's "Unsung Heroes" and tell me what you think.
