Grammy Award-winning Canadian singer and songwriter k.d. lang began her career as a difficult-to-peg country artist that eventually moved towards an adult contemporary pop sound.

lang's introduction to the music industry came in 1983. As a member of the Reclines, a Patsy Cline tribute band, she released two albums, Friday Dance Promenade and A Truly Western Experience.
