Spanning 1984-1993, this 2006-released single disc collection gathers 20 alt-country classics from the artist's early years, remastered to sound better than ever - plus one previously unissued gem! Produced by lang and her longtime collaborator Ben Mink, this anthology -- named after a neologism defined by The Washington Post as coming back to life as a hillbilly -- focuses on the first decade of her recording career, when she broke ground as a singular kind of country singer who channeled the genre's canon while subverting a number of its conventions. The early lang catalogue was dubbed cowpunk and arguably paved the way for artists who in more recent years have appropriated country music, garnering a mix of support and the suspicion of Nashville's Music Row, and reaching a much broader audience. Among the 20 songs are various tracks from her albums A Truly Western Experience, Angel With a Lariat, Shadowland, Absolute Torch and Twang, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, A Truly Western Experience -- including Cowgirl Pride, Big Boned Gal, Pay Dirt, Trail of Broken Hearts -- plus one previously unreleased song, Changed My Mind which lang and Ben Mink co-wrote over 20 years ago; they finally completed and recorded it for this 2006 release. At the outset of her professional recording career, lang was already paying tribute to her heroine Patsy Cline. In 1983, she independently released her first single, a composition called Friday Dance Promenade, on which she was backed by her aptly named band, the Reclines. Reintarnation brings to the greater public this song -- of which lang pressed just 500 copies that were sold only at concerts.
