The magic of k.d. lang – Show #115 (part 1), 28 July 2019

Music

Following sweet new tracks from Australian artists Big Sky Mountain and Joe Man Murphy, Miss Chatelaine’s US correspondent, Mark Blankenship, and Katie dive deep into the magic of k.d. lang. How does her voice manage to move listeners to tears? Is her version of ‘Hallelujah’ the definitive one? How ridiculously sexy is her vocal on ‘Honey and Smoke’ in her 2016 collaboration with Neko Case and Laura Veirs? All that and more in this hour. Here is the playlist:

• Cover My Tracks – Big Sky Mountain
• The Old Pine Tree – Joe Man Murphy
• Outside Myself – k.d. lang
• The Valley – k.d. lang
• Sexuality – k.d. lang
• Honey and Smoke – case/lang/veirs
