The boundary marker at the 49th parallel, dividing Blaine, Washington and Surrey, British Columbia.

 KD Lang - Hymns Of The 49th Parallel - Review - Uncut.co.uk
She's in fine voice, but rarely brings new emotional resonance to familiar warhorses like Cohen's "Bird On A Wire", much less intimate material like Mitchell's "Case Of You".
As a stylistic exercise, Hymns is a success, but the preponderance of monochromatic ballads make this a tough listen.

Her latest album is a smart and frequently moving tribute to her homeland, filled with 11 songs by some incredibly well known and some equally obscure Canadian artists.
Hymns starts with a piano-, guitar- and string-backed version of Neil Young's After the Gold Rush, one of two tracks she's culled from the classic rocker's rich catalog.
It's good but nothing compared to the later cover of Young's Helpless, a nostalgia-filled Deja Vu track that's lifted by a beautiful, pulsating acoustic bass that drives the rhythm.

The songs that have inspired the multi Grammy Award-winning artist become "hymns" as she pays homage to its authors and her country.
It's a rather self-indulgent adventure, sticking to artists who have sculpted her own personal development rather than including every Canadian artist who has made an impact in the music world.

Ron Sexsmith, Bruce Cockburn, and Jane Siberry might not be household names on the order of the aforementioned trio, but they're entirely worthy of the passion with which Lang approaches their tunes here, a particular point of transcendence being achieved on Cockburn's gentle, folkish "One Day I Walk".
"But wait", you cry, "what about Gordon Lightfoot, Ian Tyson, and the McGarrigle Sisters?" Don't worry; with a talent like Lang's, it's entirely reasonable to assume she'll be on the scene long enough to get around to 49TH PARALLEL PT.
