5 out of 5 stars The Queen of Prog.......2003-11-19

Lana Lane's newest album, 'Cover's Collection' starts off with an amazing cover of Kansas' "The Wall". Her enchanting voice brings so much to the piece, it's almost hard to choose which version is better. And the great music doesn't end there.

'Cover's Collection' is just what it says, it is a collection of covers, done Lana style. The music is terrific, songs like Zep's "Kashmir" the relatively obscure Queen tune "Don't Try so Hard" and the Scorpions hit "Still In Love With You" feature some amazing playing from top notch musicians such as husband Erik Norlander on the keys, the drumming talents of Gregg Bissonette (David Lee Roth, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, ELO, etc.), Nick D'Virgilio (Spock's Beard) and Ed Warby (Ayreon, Star One), and the virtuostic axe slingers, Mark McCrite (Rocket Scientists), Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon, Star One), Neil Citron and Gabriel Moses. Also featured is the amazing bass playing talents of Tony Franlin.

As great as the music is, the highlight, as usual, is Lane's beautiful voice, which holds you in thrall the whole disc. Her voice shines on the amazing "Weep In Silence" Rainbow's "Stargazer" (which sounds the most like her material) and Argent's "Hold Your Head Up". She even manages to make an Enuff Znuff tune good ("Innocence").

If you have yet to hear Lana Lane, there are definetely better albums in her catalogue, but with the 'Cover's Collection', you are left with a pleasing set of some wonderful music as told by prog's reigning queen.
