Free Music Review: Jonny Lang - Early Independent Release That Is As Good If Not Better Than His Later More Well Known Stuff
Hit: 5 Stars
Jonny Lang is a blues guitarist / vocalist who burst on to the scene in 1996 with his major label debut "Lie To Me". At the time Lang was only in his mid teens and became a blues sensation almost overnight. The album's title track even produced a top 40 single that had the kid playing large venues as a headliner and he was not even 18 yet.. What a lot of people who discovered Lang since that time do not realize is that prior to the "Lie To Me" album Lang had been a member of Ted Larson's Big Bang Band and had produced this excellent album "Smokin". Lang started taking guitar lessons at the age of 13 from Larson. Within 6 months the kid was outplaying the teacher. The kid also possessed an incredible blues voice that sounded years older than it actually was. Larson formed a band around Lang and recorded this album. Lang was only 14 at the time, but wrote or co-wrote 11 of the albums songs. Listening to this disc one would have no clue that this kid was as young as he was. The album is mostly up tempo blues with plenty of great guitar from both Lang and Larson (who is no slouch himself), and Lang's killer vocals over the top. Along with the originals the band do some great covers including Tab Benoit's "Nice And Warm", Robert Johnson's "Malted Milk" and Albert Collins "Too Tired". The album is a bit on the raw side compared to Langs more polished major label recordings that would come later, but I find it refreshing and honestly think that this early independent release ranks right up with the best stuff Lang has put out since. If you are a Lang fan and have never picked this one up, run out and get it.
