Even Cowgirls Sing Blues
</hdr><body>
<p>By Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole

<p> "Canadians have always been demure neighbors," says k.d.
lang. Not that the singer-songwriter from tiny Consort, Alta.,
holds back at all when she's onstage. Now on an eight-month
worldwide tour, she's filling sold-out theaters with a big,
clear voice that's as fresh as a prairie wind. "Performing is
my element," says the quirky, punk cowgirl. "It's what I live
for." Deejays aren't sure what to make of the country-pop-bluesy
blend, so her songs sometimes lag in radio play. That's O.K.
with k.d., as long as it leaves her free to keep doing her
exuberant torch and twang. Says she: "I wouldn't have got this
far without sticking to my guns."
