I found her version of CRTMH on the anemic side—it sounded more like a demo or a first take to me, certainly not Lana singing "the way John Denver sings," so I'd prefer it not be included. I'm rather baffled while she released it all, especially compared to her brilliant take on Blue Skies, which I know had different producers and musicians entirely—and different intentions. 
 
I agree, Lana is going to do what Lana wants to do. That is certain. My expectations for her and all other artists today is 2-3 songs I like on new albums—if I get that, then I'm content. 

I agree with this, and it's made each less than perfect, not that I expect almost any artist working today to make a uniform, consistent, and cohesive album the way some artists did in the distant past, like Fleetwood Mac with Rumours, Bruce Springsteen with Born to Run, Joni Mitchell with Court & Spark, the clash with London Calling, or Tori Amos with Under the Pink and Boys For Pele. 
 
I'd like Lasso to be all-new material, specifically conceived for this project. 

Got it, thank you.

True but I think that the album will already have mixed sounds because she has been making that album for like 4 years. A song recorded in 2019/20 might sound very different from one recorded in 2024, even if it's country and if it has different producers (most likely Drew, Zach ect will be involved as well, besides Jack).

personally I only want songs that were crafted with ‘Lasso’ in mind on the album. Ever since LFL she’s tacked on songs that she likes, even if it doesn’t fit the albums, and it’s caused every album since to be a more mixed bags of sounds

In a sense, I would think Peck had better sense than to reintroduce it to the public, especially the American public, which already has so many backward ideas about homosexuality. But yes, I guess he's reclaiming it and knows it's tongue-in-cheek, and will perhaps stir controversy, especially if it were to become a hit of some kind. It is a relief to know he didn't write it and didn't think up those lyrics himself. 
 
Thanks. 

no I do agree! It has been a highly controversial song, since it came out, for that reason! 
 
Personally I kinda like an openly gay singer covering it to kind of ‘take back’ the message of it! But I do agree it is a bit dated 
 
I love how Lana called out the industry ‘going country’ and now everyone from Beyoncé to Yung Gravy is doing it 

That's great to know--I didn't know that, as it sounds in some ways very much in the Peck tradition. It's funny and cute, but in a sense, it's a shame that it's out there, because it just reinforces a lot of incorrect ideas about homosexuality. Thank you. 

Speaking of Paul Cauthen and Orville Peck, Peck's new song about cowboys will set back understanding about homosexuality 1,000 years. Even if it is meant to be comic on some level.

Sounds great! 

She performed with Paul Cauthen, who I love--and he's performed with Orville Peck. Imagine a LDR-Peck duet, something like Peck's Roses Are Falling.

I love COCC too (though BB remains my favorite---and BB also does not get the love it deserves). The stark Yosemite is a career high point for me. Wild at Heart is pure fun. 

What a great album, I am still not tired of it. 

God forgive anyone who underestimates the Honeymoon!
 
"24" and "DLMBM" seems to be a highlight against the background of some new popular releases
 
 

If blue banisters utilized its wasted potential (and added Fine China) it would probably be number 6 in my ranking. 

Oooo yes, it always bugged me that Nectar, Legend, & Blossom were YouTube rips… they should’ve been remastered (and maybe add strings to Nectar Of The Gods, drums and some minimal electric guitar to Living Legend, and strings to Cherry Blossom).
 

Agreed. And the leaked tracks should have been remastered, or sterling copies from the vault should have been used. I would also have liked I Talk to Jesus on it, not for religious reasons, but because it's beautifully produced.
