PEOPLE, Page 53Even Cowgirls Sing BluesBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
Canadians have always been demure neighbors," says k.d. LANG.
Not that the singer-songwriter from tiny Consort, Alta., holds back
at all when she's onstage. Now on an eight-month worldwide tour,
she's filling sold-out theaters with a big, clear voice that's as
fresh as a prairie wind. "Performing is my element," says the
quirky, punk cowgirl. "It's what I live for." Deejays aren't sure
what to make of the country-pop-bluesy blend, so her songs
sometimes lag in radio play. That's O.K. with k.d., as long as it
leaves her free to keep doing her exuberant torch and twang. Says
she: "I wouldn't have got this far without sticking to my guns."
