Competition: Win Cyndi Lauper’s New Album ‘Detour’ (CLOSED)
3 min read
Cyndi Lauper’s celebrated musical journey takes an unexpected southern turn on Detour, her 11th studio album, which finds the Grammy® , Emmy® and Tony® -winning singer-songwriter putting her signature spin on a dozen classic country songs. Detour showcases Lauper’s unmistakable voice on country classics from the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s and features guest appearances from county music stars Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, and Willie Nelson.
Lauper recorded the album in Nashville alongside a band comprised of the city’s top session players. The album is Lauper’s first for Sire Records and executive produced by legendary Sire founder, Seymour Stein. Detour will be available May 6 on CD, LP, and digitally and is available for pre-order now.
For the album, Lauper duets with several special guests, including country music royalty: Emmylou Harris (on the title track), Willie Nelson (Night Life, a song he wrote over 50 years ago), Vince Gill (Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty’s You’re The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly) and Alison Krauss (Dolly Parton’s Hard Candy Christmas). Jewel also makes an appearance on Detour, showcasing her prodigious yodeling skills on I Want To Be A Cowboy’s Sweetheart, which was the first country song by a woman to sell one million copies.
Thanks to our friends over at Warner Music, we’ve got 5 copies of Detour on CD to give away to readers of Renowned For Sound.
