lang spoke with the Rochester City Newspaper in advance of tonight's tour-opening concert.

"k.d. lang's voice hovers in the twilight somewhere between heartache and desire," writes the paper's Frank De Blasé. He cites her voice's "elastic range, creamy tone, power, and seduction," calling her "one of the finest crooners of this generation."

Writing about Sing it Loud, De Blasé says: "Though the material is fresh and sticks its fingers in different pies, it's still textbook k.d. lang ... Simply put, the new album is a rock record."

    American Railroad, the new album from the Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens, is out now. It is the culmination of four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the US to uncover and uplift stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America. "The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and music that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity, and that must be heard and recognized," Giddens says. Also out now are a performance video of the track "Mahk Jchi" and the first episode of the American Railroad podcast series. The US fall tour continues to November 23.
