Having forged a pop career for the record books, Cyndi Lauper took a slightly different path for her latest album, Detour, which features covers of tunes by laid-back legends ranging from Patsy Cline to Willie Nelson. As eccentric as it is irresistible, the record shows yet another side of an artist whose talent has proven to be virtually limitless as she has branched out into blues, pop standards and even show tunes -- by way of the wildly successful Broadway musical Kinky Boots. Lauper's soaring vocal range and fiery personality will be on full display as she makes a can't-miss Detour to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles with a special guest: the legendary blues harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite.
