Reintarnation (Aus)

In 23 years as a celebrated singer and songwriter, K.D. Lang has navigated a diversity of material to consistent acclaim. Produced by Lang and her longtime collaborator Ben Mink, Reincarnation-named after a neologism defined by the Washington Post as "coming back to life as a hillbilly"- focuses on the first decade of her recording career, when she broke ground as a singular kind of country singer who channeled the genre's canon while subverting a number of it's conventions. The early Lang catalogue was dubbed "cowpunk" and arguably paved the way for artists who in more recent years have appropriated country music, garnering a mix of support and the suspicion of Nashville's Music Row, and reaching a much broader audience. As befitting such a prestigious album, it is packaged in a beautiful 4-panel digipack.
