                     Jonny Lang cut his debut album in
                     Memphis when he was just 15, and,
                     upon its release in 1996, the guitar
                     prodigy from Minneapolis instantly
                     became one of the leading lights of modern blues. He's a fast and flashy
                     player whose approach rests equally on technical assurance and musical
                     intelligence. Sizing up a dozen songs, he gets a pleasing, razor-sharp
                     sound out of his ax while building excitement in his lead lines--thankfully,
                     he steers clear of cliché and bombast. As a fledging singer, he acts out
                     the lyrics of Ike Turner's age-old shuffle "Matchbox" and his own
                     romantic ballad "Missing Your Love" with surprising poise and
                     believability. Kudos to producer David Z for surrounding Lang with alert,
                     first-rate sidemen and for helping select good material from Turner,
                     Sonny Boy Williamson, Tinsley Ellis, and others. --Frank-John Hadley

                     The ripe, vibrant voice of contemporary blues singer and guitarist Lang is
                     so compelling, it would be an exceptional major-label debut even if he
                     weren't only 16...
