Summary
Beginning with the author's own memories of a concert he attended in 1985, this brief biography summarizes the events leading to k.d. lang's commercial success as a female vocalist. With her eccentric style, described as "country punk," and an often… androgynous appearance, lang has resisted the easy categories of the music industry. The making of lang's first five albums and her first film are highlighted, as well as her stand for causes such as AIDS and the ethical treatment of animals. 1992.
