and another
k.d. lang's debut album, A Truly Western Experience, to be re-released by Bumstead
Back in 1984 - when she was still wearing skirts and known as a cow punk - k.d. lang released her very first album, A Truly Western Experience, on
an Edmonton record label, Bumstead Records, founded by Larry Wanagas.
She's now an international superstar, while Bumstead is one of the oldest (and most respected) indie labels in Canada. Now based in Toronto, its current roster includes The Trews, Two Hours Traffic, Emma-Lee, and Vancouver up 'n' comers Yukon Blonde.
To mark the 25th anniversary of lang's debut, Bumstead is reissuing A Truly Western Experience on Jan. 19. The original featured nine songs, including Bopalena, Tickled Pink, Hanky Panky and Busy Being Blue.
The reissue boasts five extra tracks - her first seven-inch single, Friday Dance Promenade, a demo of Burrs Under Your Saddle, and three live tunes: Hungry For Love, Johnny Get Angry, and Mercy.
Fans will be able to pre-order the disc as of Tuesday via Bumstead's new e-store, which the label/production/management company is launching to celebrate its 30-year milestone. A free compilation of the label's artists, including lang, The Trews and John Ford, is now available on the site.
Yukon Blonde's self-titled debut will be released Feb. 9.
