k.d. lang reunited with her former band the Reclines on stage last week for the first time in 32 years – check out the footage below.

The collaboration came about as part of lang’s induction into the Canadian Country Music Hall Of Fame at a ceremony in Edmonton on September 14.

to mark the occasion, lang and The Reclines treated the audience to a version of ‘Big Boned Gal’, a track from their third and final album together, 1989’s ‘Absolute Torch And Twang’.

Watch the performance here:

lang was inducted alongside Gilles Godard, and joins the likes of Buffy Sainte-Marie, Gordon Lightfoot and Anne Murray in the institution.

The singer got her artistic break when she, keyboardist Stu Macdougal, drummer Dave Bjarnason, guitarist Gary Koligar and bassist Farley Scott formed The Reclines in 1983 as a Patsy Cline tribute band, recording their debut single ‘Friday Dance Promenade’ that year.

In 1985, lang won a Juno Award for Most Promising Female Vocalist, and with The Reclines she recorded three albums: 1984’s ‘A Truly Western Experience’, as well as ‘Angel With A Lariat’ in 1987 and ‘Absolute Torch And Twang’ a year later.

lang had substantial solo success in the late-’80s and ‘90s, including hits such as ‘Constant Craving’, ‘If I Were You’ and ‘Crying’ with Roy Orbison. Other high-profile collaborations would come with Tony Bennett, The Killers, Elton John and Ann Wilson.

The singer has been a prominent LGBTQ+ rights campaigner ever since coming out as a lesbian in 1992, often donating to HIV/AIDS care and research. She has also been active as an animal rights and Tibetan human rights campaigner.

lang also made headlines for her performance of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ at the opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics, which were held in Vancouver, British Columbia.
