Jonny Lang

I've been a fan of Jonny Lang since Lie to Me came out. I've seen him three times now and each show has been outstanding. The energy and passion he puts into his playing and singing is contagious and the rest of his band really feed off of him (as does the crowd).

Honestly, I'm more of a fan of his first two albums and the purer blues sound of them than his more recent stuff, but what the recent stuff lacks on album comes through loud and clear on stage. I can also appreciate his desire and willingness to grow as a person and artist as he has with the last two albums. They may not be his best work, but if they're any indication of what's to come as he grows as a musician/songwriter, he's going to be making some really good music in the future. I just hope there's some more real blues stuff in that future.

One thing I do like about the new stuff is it's very positive. It's nice to hear that in music sometimes.

He puts on a great show. If you ever get the chance to see him live, I'd recommend taking the opportunity.

I like his first two albums and his most recent one. I don't remember which album had that "Red Light" song, but that was crap. When he sticks to blues, he's really good.

Haven't seen him in quite awhile, but was hugely impressed the couple of times I have.

I saw his sister and her band (I guess you would call it that). She sings poorly and hangs a Fender around her neck for one or two songs, of which she strums a couple basic chords (maybe twice). That was a couple hours I'll never get back. The wanker I went with, who literally begged me to go (a neighbor), spent the whole night kissing various asses to get her autograph on a cd. Yep, that was a couple hours I'll never get back.
