Born Kathryn Dawn Lang in the small prairie town of Consort, Alberta,on November 2nd 1961. k.d. lang is regarded as one of Canada's foremost female vocalists, as well as a champion of legal equality for GLBT people. Her singing talent has lent itself to a wide range of genres, although earlier works, such as Angel With a Lariat, Shadowland and Absolute Torch and Twang (the last of which won her a Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance) were predominantly country, with hints of jazz and salsa. Later works, including IngÃ©nue and All You Can Eat, were more pop-ish in execution.

Angel With A Lariat Lyrics

K.d. Lang

Angel, angel from the sky
Came right down to sit beside
This lonely achin heart of mine
That now, folks, feels sublime
Now Im a walkin, talkin
And a spinnin
I cant keep my face from grinnin
Things are roarin, soarin
Oh what a feelin
And to think its just beginnin
Angel with a lariat
Carry me home sweet chariot
With you
Angel toss your rope around
Yank me up from the ground
Sound the trumpets, send a hue
Ascending angels through the blue
I feel emancipation
No, I dont worry
Set my bugaboos down to worry
Theres no aggravation
Theres no worry
For I have found a true love surely
Yeah
With you
Angel!
