Born Kathryn Dawn Lang in Edmonton, Alberta, on this day in 1961, k.d. lang was inspired by Patsy Cline to take up singing, and like her idol is a master of torch and twang. Where previous retrospective REINTARNATION emphasized the latter, the performer's RECOLLECTION focuses on her strength as a balladeer. The 2010 greatest hits set includes such favorites as “Constant Craving,” “Miss Chatelaine” and revelatory covers of “Crying” and “Hallelujah” - along with rare tracks that showcase her mezzo-soprano voice to equally fine effect. A double-Platinum hit in her native Canada (that went Top 40 in the U.S.), RECOLLECTION is an ideal introduction to the Grammy winner. Happy birthday, k.d.!
