Standard Black Vinyl
Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of k.d. lang's Hymns of the 49th Parallel with this first ever vinyl edition. She assembles a highly personal 'Canadian Songbook' in this lushly orchestrated, gorgeously sung contemplation of work by Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Jane Siberry, and others.
While countless artists have put forth versions of American standards, the lineage of Canadian songwriters has been all but overlooked. In the absence of an existing Canadian songbook, lang chose to anchor Hymns with a few canonical artists: Mitchell, Cohen, and Young. Siberry, Sexsmith, and Cockburn were included not only because they are among lang's favourites, but because they show Canada's rich songwriting culture continuing into the present and future.
