The Story Behind: k.d. lang - Shadowland, Ep 233

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums.  k.d. lang came from the prairies of Canada with a mission to be the next Patsy Cline, and with some savvy marketing and good luck, she ended up in Nashville with a storied backing band to make her solo debut Shadowland. The boys welcome a special guest to discuss this retro country album.
