k.d. lang is one of those performers who elevates any material she works on. Her voice is reason enough to listen, no matter the song.
My favorite album of hers remains Absolute Torch and Twang, lang’s wonderfully titled 1989 release. As the title suggests, that record is a perfect blend of her country and crooner sides.
Shadowland is the album that preceded Absolute Torch and Twang, and it’s in the same vein. I don’t know it as well, but I know enough to hear a song like ‘Sugar Moon’ and be instantly smitten.
And around about June
I’ll be walkin’ with my sugar
‘Neath that old sugar moon
All the lovin’ I missed
I’ll be gettin’ it soon
I’ll be gettin’ it from my sugar
‘Neath that old sugar moon
I can see us right now
Get the calendar down
And draw a circle around
The day we’re heaven bound
Oh, when it’s sugarcane time
And around about June
All the birds will be singin’
‘Neath that old sugar moon
I can see us right now
Get the calendar down
Draw a circle around
The day we’re heaven bound
When it’s sugarcane time
And around about June
I’ll be walkin’ with my sugar
‘Neath that old sugar moon
Meet Me In Montauk 
She is so talented; I just love her voice!
I love her sound as well, though the only album with which I am familiar is Ingenue.
