k.d.'s 'Reintarnation' Coming Soon

I was a fan of k.d. lang the first time I heard Shadowland in 1988. I loved the gorgeous, 60s country sound of it, and she was in great voice.

Well, she's never not been in great voice, really. And although I grew to love her Ingenue-era work more than her early "cowpunk" phase, I'm excited about a new compilation coming out in April. It's called Reintarnation, which is a brilliant title, and it will include highlights of her work from 1983 through 1989.

If I were to pick three k.d. albums to recommend, it would be (in this order) Ingenue, Shadowland and 2004's Hymns of the 49th Parallel.
