k.d. lang (the intentionally lower-case stage name of Kathryn Dawn Lang) emerged in the early ’80s from the small Canadian town of Consort, Alberta, with a feisty brand of country on the albums A Truly Western Experience (1984) and Angel With A Lariat (1987). She didn’t stay tied to that style for long, though, moving into torch song territory with Ingenue (when her career hit a commercial peak with the single “Constant Craving”) before evolving toward more of a classic crooning vocal style when she paired up with Tony Bennett for the 2002 album A Wonderful World. As for 2011’s Sing It Loud, a hard-to-categorize album she recorded with the five-piece Siss Boom Bang, lang has described it as more soulful, more playful, and her best album yet. With her new band providing a dramatic backdrop that falls somewhere between rock and orchestral country, lang’s tour leans heavily on “Sing it Loud,” but also promises to be “peppered with catalog stuff” culled from her 28 years in the business.
