Free Music Notes for Long Time Coming

Free Music Review: Great CD!!! Don't believe the negativity!
Hit: 5 Stars

GEEZ!!! Fans can be brutal! I've known of Jonny Lang since "Wander This World," but Blues isn't a music genre that I've acquired a taste for yet, however, I've always liked his 'old soul' voice. It reminds me somewhat of the old Otis Redding records my father listens to. I never bought any of Jonny's older work because I knew it wouldn't be something that I'd listen to enough, however I've always respected talent wherever it was. I always thought that if he used his incredible talent and left that Blues pigeon hole he was in it would be awesome. I was right! I had no idea that this cd was different from any of his earlier work until I read the reviews of pissed off, so called, fans. What kind of fan lynches like this?! I ran out and got a copy and it is in heavy rotation at my house.

There is nothing wrong with this disc. 8 of the 14 tracks became favorites of mine from the very first time I played it through. I don't get the bad reviews. Because this can't be called a Blues album, it's not good or worthy of even purchasing?! If you buy Blues ONLY, that might be reason enough to not buy it, but not for nothing, there are other good genres out here. It doesn't sound like 80's rock, Michael Bolton or Boy Band music. Only someone with their head up the ass of Blues would even think so. This man has madd talent, an absolutely amazing voice and delivery that evokes so many emotions. It's like he's been here before.

Personally I think Jonny only got into the Blues genre first because the person that taught him to play guitar was a Blues artist. He says at his site that he's not a Blues artist exclusively and that he is very proud of this project. He feels it is his best work to date and I agree, and that isn't to take anything at all from his previous works. The tracks are solid performances, but my personal favorites are "Give me up again," "Red Light," "Touch," Beautiful One," "Goodbye Letter," "Save Yourself," "Happiness & Misery," and "Hide Your Love." In my estimations, this CD is a fusion of Blues, Rock, & R&B. You can tell that Blues is a part of him in some of the short but very good guitar solos in the tracks. In this release he has found a perfect hybrid blend that suits him really well.

Don't believe the negative reviews. His Blues following are pissed that they didn't get another Blues project. My advice to them is to continue to listen to those earlier works. They will aways be around and they will always be good. Maybe one day he'll do another cd exclusively in that genre, but to compare him to other Blues artists and say that this project is a flop just because it's not Blues is stupid, mean and oh so petty. He's 22 years old!!! I think he should go wherever his creativity takes him, but in the meantime, DO NOT SLEEP on this cd. It is worth every dime.

Long Time Coming Poster

"Yeah, it?s been a long time coming, never thought it?d take so long," moans Jonny Lang on the seemingly autobiographical title track to his first release in five years. But its stark acoustic, near demo quality is in contrast to the preceding 12 songs, which are buffed to an arena-rock sheen. The youngster has shifted from an up-and-coming bluesman into a tough, journeyman melodic rocker with a dab of R&B. He has also honed his songwriting skills, resulting in the majority of this album (except a rugged bonus live cover of Stevie Wonder?s "Livin? for the City" and the first single "Red Light") being self-penned. Aiming for the back rows, Long Time Coming boasts booming, sing-along mid-tempo choruses in "Save Yourself" and "Goodbye Letter," perfect for the lighter-waving crowd. He has also transformed into a soulman of sorts, evidenced by the Prince/ Michael McDonald influences on "Touch," "Beautiful One," "The One I Got," and the funky "If We Try." Once a burgeoning guitar hero, Lang?s solos are now integrated into the material, further bolstering the hard rock/soul approach. Leaving the blues, Lang has moved towards the mainstream on his most polished and radio-ready album yet. --Hal Horowitz
