K D Lang on her platinum-selling, four-time Grammy-winning career as a singer-songwriter and her latest album with Neko Case and Laura Veirs.
Cerysβ guest is the platinum-selling, four-time Grammy-winning, genre-spanning Canadian singer-songwriter, K D Lang. K D draws on a broad range of musical influences, many of which have been reflected in reinterpretations of songs by Leonard Cohen, Roy Orbison, Neil Young and more.
She has enjoyed chart success with her own compositions and has a song writing credit on the Rolling Stones track Anybody Seen My Baby? Her film soundtrack work includes Gus Van Santβs Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, and she has collaborated with pop and country luminaries like Bonnie Raitt, Loretta Lynn, Elton John and Tony Bennett, who described her as βthe best singer of her generationβ.
K Dβs latest musical venture is a collaboration with Neko Case and Laura Veirs, which came to fruition after she sent an email to both singers, on a whim, that simply read: "I think we should make a record together." The resulting album is released this month and will be supported by a tour of North America.
