Known best for her legendary pop icon status, Grammy®, Emmy® and Tony®-winning singer-songwriter Cyndi Lauper is reigning in a new legion of fans with her new country-tinged album DETOUR(available here) featuring a collection of country covers from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. DETOUR, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, features duets with several special guests, including Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, Vince Gill and Alison Krauss. With 30 sterling years and global record sales in excess of 50 million, Lauper also recently became a New York Times Best Selling author with her autobiography – Cyndi Lauper: A Memoir – published by Simon & Schuster and wrote the original score for the Tony award winning best musical Kinky Boots.

Joining Lauper will be Grammy® Award-winning saxophonist Kenny G. He’s grafted elements of R&B, pop and Latin to a jazz foundation solidifying his reputation as the premiere artist in contemporary jazz. Since the early ‘80s, his combination of unparalleled instrumental chops and indelible melodies has resulted in sales of more than 75 million records worldwide (45 million in the U.S. alone) and more than a dozen climbs to the top of Billboard’s contemporary jazz chart.
