McLachlan is tempered by some real rockers and braver artists: Emmylou Harris, Me'Shell NdegTocello, Indigo Girls, N'Dea Davenport and the truly regal Bonnie Raitt. Still, there's some filler (Sixpence None the Richer's "Kiss Me") and downright travesty (Lisa Loeb's "I Do"). The sum of these three discs reveals that the Fair may have run its course. (RS 816-817)
KANDIA CRAZY HORSE
Not to be confused with the Neil Young/Pearl Jam album of almost the same name (two words instead of one), the live Mirrorball kicks off with a rolling version of "Building a Mystery" and doesn't stop there. McLachlan pours on one radio hit after another throughout the set, showing why she's so esteemed in pop songstress circles.
