Classic Album Review: Jann Arden | Live With The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra

The country-popster blends highbrow sounds & humour on this entertaining set.

This came out in 2002 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


The Calgary country-pop crooner got cultured on her last tour, playing her hits with symphonies. The tremendously entertaining Live documents her Vancouver gig, complete with her usual hilarious between-song patter (“I’d like to take a half-hour to introduce the band”) and a new Christmas tune — plus some of the cash goes to charity. Highly recommended.
