"He has the intonation and instincts, the grit and the growl of a veteran bluesman...What's most striking are his confidence
        and credibility...Even though Lang's approach is pure art-form as opposed to singing about personal experiences, his
        words are believable."

        "This young man, with influences as diverse as Syl Johnson and Albert Collins is the real deal. He has a mastery of lead
        guitar that will have reviewers comparing him to Stevie Ray and Eric Clapton. Folks, it's been a long time since I've seen
        anyone this authentic and committed."

"I want people to really make a judgment on me as a musician, without anything else clouding the issue, like my age," says
17-year-old blues phenomenon Jonny Lang.

His wish has come true. Though fans and professionals are amazed at his age, it is his music that impresses them the most. Lang
has been compared to Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, and Albert Collins. It's a lot to live up to, but Lang is not one to feel
pressure from his love of music. "I just have fun singin' those old blues numbers," he relates.

Lang first started playing guitar at age 12, after seeing Ted Larsen's Bad Medicine Blues Band. He took "about eight" lessons
from Larsen, and soon became the star and leader of the group, which was renamed Kid Jonny Lang & The Big Bang. Their
album, Smokin', was a regional hit in the Midwest, and Lang began to receive offers from record labels and producers. Bonnie
Raitt came to hear him play during one of her trips to the Twin Cities, and Lang has been invited on stage by such names as
Luther Allison, Lonnie Brooks, Kenny Neal, Jimmy Thackery, Syl Johnson, and Buddy Guy. His first solo album, Lie To Me,
was number one on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and then soared up the Top 100 charts.

But the sudden attention hasn't affected Lang. "I've never been nervous or scared on stage, except maybe the first time," he
says. "And I've never been shy about doing what I do or expressing myself in public, even sometimes when I had no idea what I
was doing, and when I was probably embarrassing myself. I just dig in and play."
