In the latest issue of the Boston Phoenix, writer Mikael Wood gives a nod to the great singer-songwriters of Canada beyond the current crop of "indie-rock elite" like Arcade Fire and Feist. Chief among them is k.d. lang, who is "known for the lusciousness of her records" and whom Wood calls "Canada's premier roots-music sensualist" and a master of myriad genres, "all of it swirling like flavors in a sundae." Watershed, k.d.'s latest album, is a culmination of those many musical styles, and what they all share, writes Wood, is k.d.'s "meticulously calibrated singing." To read the article, visit thephoenix.com. Fans in Boston can catch k.d. at the Opera House there this Saturday night.

The next night, she'll head down to Philadelphia for a performance at the Kimmel Center. There's an interview with k.d. in the Philadelphia City Paper leading up to the area show; writes the City Paper's A.D. Amorosi of k.d.:

She can sing the

phone book as often as she wants with Tony Bennett. But lang's refined,

longing lyrical refrains so suit her swooning croon, we needed the real

stuff, the hard stuff. Not only did lang write the coy and languid Watershed, she's also the producer. Magical.
