This week on Conversations from the World Cafe, singer kd lang joins host David Dye in our studios. While she first gained renown in the world of country music, lang became a household name with her 1992 album, "Ingénue," and later "Constant Craving". That song won lang a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and the CD reached multi-million sales. On her new disc, "Watershed," Lang returns to writing her own material, eight years after the last album she penned, "Invincible Summer." She'll explain how the records she put out in the intervening years inspired her new disc, and she reveals the hidden talent that aids her songwriting. And, pianist Marco Benevento. The Berklee-trained jazz-lover talks about his first solo CD, "Invisible Baby" (after a few records with the Benevento/Russo duo). He reflects on the surprising thing Berklee taught him about himself, and demonstrates how children's toys play a crucial role in his latest compositions.
