Early life
[
edit
]
Lang was born in
Edmonton
,
Alberta
, the youngest child
[5]
of Audrey Bebee and Adam Frederick Lang.
[6]
She is of English, Irish, Scottish, German,
Russian-Jewish
,
Icelandic
, and
Sioux
ancestry.
[7]
When lang was nine months old, her family moved to
Consort, Alberta
, where she grew up with two older sisters and one older brother in the
Canadian prairies
.
[8]
Her father, a
drugstore
owner, left the family when she was twelve.
[8]
After secondary school, lang attended
Red Deer College
, where she became fascinated with the life and music of
Patsy Cline
and decided to pursue a career as a professional singer.
[9]
She moved to Edmonton after her graduation in 1982 and answered Jim Alexander's classified ad in the Edmonton Journal looking for a singer for his country-swing band. After a show at Devil's Lake Corral which drew over 500 people, lang joined with label owner and manager Larry Wanagas to form a Patsy Cline
tribute band
, the Reclines, in 1983.
[10]
They recorded their debut single, "Friday Dance Promenade", at Sundown Recorders. The first band featured Stu Macdougal on keys, Dave Bjarnson on drums, Gary Koligar on guitar and bassist Farley Scott.
The Reclines regularly played Edmonton's popular Sidetrack Cafe, a local venue that featured live bands six nights a week. In 1983, lang presented a performance-art piece, a seven-hour re-enactment of the transplantation of an
artificial heart
for Barney Clark, a retired American dentist.
[11]
[12]
A Truly Western Experience
was released in 1984 and received strong reviews and led to national attention in Canada. In August 1984, lang was one of three Canadian artists to be selected to perform at the World Science Fair in
Tsukuba
, Japan (along with other performing and recording contracts throughout Japan).

Singing at
country and western
venues in Canada, lang began to establish an appearance and style referred to as "cowboy punk".
[13]
She was called a "Canadian
Cowpunk
" in the June 20, 1985, issue of
Rolling Stone
.
[14]
She would later recall the inspiration for her defining look in an interview with the
Canadian Press
: "I used to sew plastic cowboys and Indians on my clothes ? just having fun with it on a budget. I was broke at the time, so I'd find things at
Value Village
or get my mom to make me a skirt from the curtains she was about to throw out. I loved playing with the clothes as much as the music."
[13]
Career
[
edit
]
Lang made several recordings that received very positive reviews and earned a 1985
Juno Award
for
Most Promising Female Vocalist
. She accepted the award wearing a wedding dress borrowed from her male roommate.
[13]
She also made numerous
tongue-in-cheek
promises about what she would and would not do in the future, thus fulfilling the title of 'Most Promising'. She has won a total of eight Juno Awards.
In 1986, lang signed a contract with an American record producer in
Nashville, Tennessee
, and received critical acclaim for her 1987 album,
Angel with a Lariat
, which was produced by
Dave Edmunds
.
Lang chose to use a lower-case name, inspired by the poet
e. e. cummings
.
[15]
Lang first earned international recognition in 1988 when she performed as "The Alberta Rose" at the closing ceremonies of the
Winter Olympics
.
[16]
Canadian women's magazine
Chatelaine
selected lang as its "Woman of the Year" in 1988.
[17]
Lang's career received a huge boost when
Roy Orbison
chose her to record a duet of his standard,
"Crying"
, a collaboration that won them the
Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals
in 1989. The song was used in the
Jon Cryer
film
Hiding Out
released in 1987. Due to the success of the song, lang received the Entertainer of the Year award from the
Canadian Country Music Association
. Lang would win the same award for the next three years, in addition to two Female Vocalist of the Year awards in 1988 and 1989.
1988 marked the release of
Shadowland
, an album of torch country produced by
Owen Bradley
. In late 1988,
Shadowland
was named Album of the Year by the Canadian Country Music Association. That year she also performed "Turn Me Round" at the closing ceremonies of the
XV Winter Olympics
in
Calgary, Alberta
, and sang background vocals with
Jennifer Warnes
and
Bonnie Raitt
for Orbison's acclaimed television special,
Roy Orbison and Friends, A Black and White Night
.
In 1990, lang contributed the song "
So in Love
" to the
Cole Porter
tribute album
Red Hot + Blue
produced by the
Red Hot Organization
. In 1998, she contributed "Fado Hilario" to the AIDS benefit compilation album
Onda Sonora: Red Hot + Lisbon
produced by the same organization.
Grammy Awards and mainstream success
[
edit
]
Lang won the
Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance
for her 1989 album
Absolute Torch and Twang
. The single "
Full Moon Full of Love
" that stemmed from that album became a modest hit in the United States in the middle of 1989 and a Number 1 hit on the
RPM Country
chart in Canada. In 1989, she sang a duet, "Sin City", with
Dwight Yoakam
on his album
Just Lookin' for a Hit
.
The 1992 album
Ingenue
, a set of adult-oriented pop songs that showed comparatively little country influence, contained her most popular song, "
Constant Craving
". That song brought her multi-million sales and much critical acclaim. Coming out as
lesbian
the same year saw several US country stations banning her music, and she faced a picket line outside the
1993 Grammy Awards
ceremony where she would receive the
Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance
.
[18]
Another top ten single from the record was "Miss Chatelaine". The
salsa
-inspired track was ironic;
Chatelaine
, a women's magazine, once chose lang as its "Woman of the Year", and the song's video depicted lang in an exaggeratedly feminine manner, surrounded by bright pastel colours and a profusion of bubbles reminiscent of a performance on
The Lawrence Welk Show
.
She received a writing credit for
the Rolling Stones
1997 song, "
Anybody Seen My Baby?
", whose chorus sounds similar to "Constant Craving". Jagger and Richards claimed to have never heard the song before and when they discovered the similarity prior to the song's release, were flummoxed as to how the songs could be so similar. Jagger discovered his daughter listening to a recording of "Constant Craving" on her stereo and realized he had heard the song before many times but only subliminally. The two gave lang credit, along with her co-writer
Ben Mink
, to avoid any possible lawsuits. Afterwards, lang said she was "completely honoured and flattered" to receive the songwriting credit.
She contributed much of the music towards
Gus Van Sant
's soundtrack of the film
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
, and also did a cover of "
Skylark
" for the 1997 film adaptation of
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
. She performed "Surrender" for the closing titles of the
James Bond
film
Tomorrow Never Dies
.
In 1996, she was made an Officer of the
Order of Canada
.
In 1997,
Drag
, an album of cover tunes dedicated to "smoke" (specifically cigarette smoking), was released. The album cover and booklet photographs show lang in a man's suit, referring to
cross-dressing
as another possible meaning of the word "drag". The songs on
Drag
include "Smoke Dreams", from the '40s,
Steve Miller Band
's "
The Joker
", "Smoke Rings", the theme from the
cult film
Valley of the Dolls
, and eight other smoke-themed songs.
In 1998, she was inducted into
The ArQuives: Canada's LGBTQ2+ Archives
' National Portrait Collection.
[19]
In 1999, lang ranked No. 33 on
VH-1
's 100 Greatest Women in Rock & Roll
, and she ranked No. 26 on
CMT's
40 Greatest Women in Country Music
in 2002, one of eight women to make both lists.
In 2003, she won her fourth Grammy Award, for
Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album
for her collaboration with
Tony Bennett
on
A Wonderful World
.
In 2004,
Stephen Holden
of
The New York Times
wrote: "Few singers command such perfection of pitch. Her voice, at once beautiful and unadorned and softened with a veil of smoke, invariably hits the middle of a note and remains there. She discreetly flaunted her technique, drawing out notes and shading them from sustained cries into softer, vibrato-laden murmurs. She balanced her commitment to the material with humor, projecting a twinkling merriment behind it all."
[20]
In the same year, lang released
Hymns of the 49th Parallel
, which featured cover versions of songs by iconic English-speaking Canadian singer-songwriters:
Bruce Cockburn
,
Leonard Cohen
,
Joni Mitchell
,
Ron Sexsmith
,
Jane Siberry
, and
Neil Young
.
[21]

Activism
[
edit
]
Lang, who
came out
as a
lesbian
in a June 1992 article of the
LGBT
news magazine
The Advocate
,
[33]
has championed
gay rights
causes.
She has supported many causes over the years, including HIV/AIDS care and research. Her cover of
Cole Porter
's "
So in Love
" (from the Broadway musical,
Kiss Me, Kate
), appears on the
Red Hot + Blue
compilation album and video from 1990 (a tribute to Cole Porter to benefit AIDS research and relief). Her 2010 greatest hits album,

Her "Meat Stinks" campaign in the 1990s created much controversy, particularly in her hometown, in the middle of
Alberta
's cattle ranching industry?she was banned from more than 30 Alberta radio stations. A sign in Consort, Alberta, stating "Home of k.d. lang" was burned to the ground. Alberta's agriculture minister at the time said it was "extremely unfortunate that she has decided to side with the animal rightists.

Kansas
,
Oklahoma
,
Missouri
,
Montana
and
Nebraska
also boycotted playing her records due to her "Meat Stinks" campaign.
[35]

Vanity Fair
photographed by
Herb Ritts
. The cover featured lang in a
barber
chair while model
Cindy Crawford
appeared to shave her face with a straight razor, which lang would later say was inspired by the French film
Le mari de la coiffeuse
.
[13]
[36]
The issue contained a detailed article about lang which observed that she had thought that she would be ostracized by the country music industry when she came out as a
lesbian
. However, they were accepting, and her records continued to sell, but when she appeared in an ad for
PETA
, they were less impressed, owing to the relationship between country music and
cattle ranching
.
[37]
In April 2008, lang spent time in
Melbourne
, Australia, as a guest editor for
The Age
. This was in connection with her support for the

[39]
Lang reflected on
coming out
in a 2016 interview with The Canadian Press, saying it "felt like it was the most responsible thing for society and myself" at the time. She also noted that dealing with the fallout was something she struggled with in the years that followed. "It's a very hard thing to unravel for me and decipher", she said. "In a way you can't. It's all just a big ball of wax of who I am and what my role in popular culture was ? and what pop culture's role was in me."
[13]
Lang is a member of Canadian charity Artists Against Racism.
[40]
Personal life
[
edit
]
