Everyone remembers how sweet k.d. lang and Roy Orbison sounded on the spine-tingling “Crying.” Well, lang’s duets with Tony Bennett, performing the Louis Armstrong songbook, may be the sweetest music this side of heaven. Highlights include a tender “If We Never Meet Again” and a charming rendition of the old Satchmo chestnut “What a Wonderful World.” But nothing quite prepares for the velvety version of “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” in which lang and Bennett harmonize like a pair of angels. Exquisite.
