k.d. lang is that rare performer who, over 25 years as a major-label artist, has matured before our very ears. The Western Canada native launched her career with a blend of country-rock stylings and playfully punk-like attitude, by turns whimsical and subversive; back then, she practically put the alternative in alt-country. But from the very beginning, her bravura singing belied her kitschy cowgirl outfits and spiky hair; anyone lucky enough to attend very first appearance in the United States, on a triple bill of unsigned artists at New York Cityâs Bottom Line, could hear that she was marked for greatness.
Her 1989 Grammy Award-winning Absolute Torch and Twang (Best Female Country Vocal Performance) combined her love of country with increasingly sophisticated, emotive torch singing typified by âPullinâ Back the Reins.â With the 1992, platinum-selling Ingenue she had fashioned a soundâif not a genreâall her own: an elegant and impassioned adult contemporary approach. That yielded her biggest hit, âConstant Craving,â as well as another Grammy, this time for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Presented by Count Basie Theatre
