AMG Review of A Truly Western Experience
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guidek.d. lang's first independent album is an uneven but exciting revamp of '50s country. She alternates between rocking honky tonk numbers and Patsy Cline-influenced weepers, sometimes assuming an ironic distance. It may be flawed, but A Truly Western Experience has an almost punky kick and illustrates why lang would soon be considered as the freshest female vocalist in country music in the late '80s.
