k. d. lang - BBC Four Sessions, St. Luke's Church, London, Britain, 2-3-2008

I'm not really familiar with the music of k. d. lang, outside her hit "Constant Craving" and a few more songs. But I recently came across a bunch of BBC concerts from the "BBC Four Sessions" TV series, and hers was one of them. I do know she has an outstanding voice, so here's her BBC show.

k. d. lang is short for her birth name Kathryn Dawn Lang, but she prefers to spell her name with all lower case letters. She's a Canadian singer whose music has been various combinations of country, pop, and folk. If you want to know more about her, here's her Wikipedia entry:

This concert took place within days of the release of her studio album of original material, "Watershed." So naturally it has some songs from that. One unusual feature of the concert is that she was backed by a full orchestra. 

This concert is unreleased. I think the music hasn't been widely bootlegged, because I had to break up a video file into individual mp3s. The sound quality is excellent, as you'd expect from the BBC.

This album is an hour and 25 minutes long.

The cover photo is a screenshot of this exact concert I took from YouTube. I only found a few songs from this concert there, but there may be more if you look hard.
