K D LANG
BIOGRAPHY
Born in Alberta, Canada, k.d. lang was first drawn toward music while she was in college. In particular, she was attracted to the music of Patsy Cline. She became acquainted with Cline's music while she was preparing to star in a collegiate theatrical production based on the vocalist's life. Soon, lang immersed herself within Cline's life and music and decided that she would pursue a career as a professional singer. With the help of guitarist/co-songwriter Ben Mink, she formed a band, named the re-clines in tribute to Patsy Cline, in 1983, and they recorded a debut album, Friday Dance Promenade, which received some positive notices in independent papers. A follow-up album, A Truly Western Experience, was released in 1984 and received even better reviews and led to national attention. In 1985, lang was named the Most Promising Female Vocalist by the Juno Awards.
All of the Canadian attention led to the interest of a number of American record labels. Sire signed lang in early 1986, and she recorded her first record for the label later that year (Angel With a Lariat). As she was recording her second Nashville album in 1987, lang duetted with Roy Orbison on his old hit "Crying, which was recorded for the film Hiding Out. The single was released at the end of the year and was hit, marking her first appearance on the country charts.
Shadowland, her second Sire album, made her debt to Patsy Cline explicit. Recorded with Cline's producer, Owen Bradley, the album lacked the campy humor of Angel With a Lariat, which helped it succeed in traditional country circles. Shadowland became a sizable word-of-mouth hit, both in modern country and alternative music circles, which led to it going gold. The following year lang released the harder-edged Absolute Torch and Twang. lang won a Grammy -- Best Country Vocal Performance, Female -- for the album in 1989.
Her fourth album, Ingenue, was a set of adult contemporary pop that owed very little to country. Its first single, "Constant Craving, became a Top 40 American hit and lang won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female. Ingenue won lang a new audience. In 1995 lang delivered All You Can Eat, which continued the pop direction of Ingenue, showing no traces of country. The album didn't enjoy the mass commercial acceptance of Ingenue, but it was a moderate success, proving that she had a dedicated cult following. Subsequent efforts include 1997's Drag and 2000's Invincible Summer.
