Canadian performer k.d. lang broke new ground in the 1980s by
blending the genres of punk and country, dubbed “cowpunk,” with
her band, the Reclines. Despite Grammy-award-winning recordings and
frequent North American TV spots, mainstream country radio excluded
lang from airplay due to her unconventional gender presentation and
perceived sexuality. Not until lang’s 1992 pop album Ingénue,
the release of the single “Constant Craving,” and her
subsequent coming out in The Advocate did lang earn critical
acclaim worldwide. The book addresses lang’s rise to fame after
switching genres, the successful reinvention of her sound and
persona, and how she found herself immersed in the whirlwind of MTV
and the "lesbian chic" aesthetic of 1990s pop culture. As an LGBTQ
author, Joanna McNaney Stein discusses her adolescence and sexual
development by weaving in short narrative prose pieces with her
analysis of lang and Ingénue. Also included are interviews with
lang's musical collaborators: Ingénue co-writer Ben Mink, drummer
Fred Eltringham, pianist Daniel Clarke, and singer-songwriter Laura
Veirs.
