Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Oct 20, 2000
Pros: great music
Cons: he was jailbait at the time these songs were recorded
Summary: Of course you will be impressed by the poise and maturity of this young man. But what are you left with when you get over the novelty of listening to a 16-year-old wailin' on a guitar and pouring his heart out like a man with enough heart-ache and ... read more

Pros: This is how the blues should be played.
Cons: Are you serious?
Summary: I only heard of Jonny Lang about 4 weeks ago. One of my friends was playing a record by someone who sang as if he had been chain smoking Marlboro's for at least 30 years and had played as if he had been sleeping with his guitar, not just playing it. ... read more

Pros: Excellent great for a young white boy!
Cons: not a thing!
Summary: Does this kid have talent or what?! Well in the first place I love blues, something about them actually makes me just really happy. Wander This World is also a great CD. Some tracks that stand out are "Good Morning Little School Girl" ; "Hit the Ground ... read more

Pros: Great, rocking music!
Cons: None
Summary: I bought this CD after hearing other people rave about it and I was thinking "Oh he's probably okay." But he rocks and this is one of my favorite CDs.
I like that he has some upbeat songs on this album as well, sometimes blues albums can be ... read more

Pros: Definitely a promising young artist...look for more in the future!
Cons: Creatively limited.
Summary: Lie to Me is not, by a long shot, the best blues album ever, but this kid has serious potential. In an attempt to cross the ever-unclear line between blues and rock, he has bent all the traditional rules of both genres and still received critical ... read more

Pros: Lie To Me, a pretty good song
Cons: The guy seems to try to rip off Colin James
Summary: I know most people here have liked this kid because he's young and cute and he can play the guitar like a ring and a bell. However, if you want to hear someone who has not had Hollywood backing him but is far better and far more original, listen to his ... read more

Pros: Classic blues and soul
Cons: None whatsoever
Summary: Great blues, great soul. Jonny Lang will have you rasping along with his electric guitar riffs and banging ‘n’ thumping whatever you can get your chopsticks on before you can say Muddy Waters.
It’s as tough and gritty as you can get; roguish ... read more

Pros: Soulful young man with too much talent
Cons: Eventually, you have to hit replay.
Summary: Have your ever had a sudden and spontanteous connection with an artist? When you know with that first lazy guitar lick that you were had? Jonny did this to me. I feel like I can call him Jonny, and not Mr Lang, because apparently he has snuck into my ... read more

Pros: A musical prodigy comes of age with awesome guitar work
Cons: none
Summary: Jonny Lang was something of a mystery to me. I had heard stories about his amazing talent and young age from co-workers and friends, and even saw a story on the news on him. But I had never broken down to spend my hard-earned music money on one of his ... read more

Pros: Great guitar playing
Cons: A 16 yr old shouldn't be this depressing
Summary: Jonny Lang is really a 65 year old guy that has seen more than his share of woes, trapped in the body of a 16 year old kid! That is the only explanation for the soulful and deep emotion that he pulls out of you with his music. There is no way that a 16 ... read more

Pros: Great sound...Mellow tunes
Cons: Younger sounding than his later cd
Summary: The first time I ever heard of Johnny Lang was a few years ago on the Disney Channel. At first I didn't want to watch his concert special, but for some reason I kept it on. The more i watched, the more I got to like the sound. He was amazing. I was ... read more

Pros: young talent, good guitar, growling voice
Cons: none
Summary: I can't say that I'm a person that buys music at random - I like to know what I'm buying. Jonny Lang's Lie to Me was a different case - I picked it up in the local mall and bought it on a whim. When I got home, I listened to it and promptly fell in ... read more

Pros: Amazing Rock N Roll Blues Sound!!
Cons: none
Summary: This album was released back in January of 1997. I just discovered it two weeks ago. I have few excuses why it took me so long to recognize Jonny Lang. I had heard the single "Lie to Me" on the radio a few times and always thought the guys ... read more

Pros: EXCELLENT
Cons: NOTHING
Summary: Oh my Lord does this kid have talent or what?! I purchased Lang's second CD "Wonder This World" over the summer and I loved it so much that I had to get the first. I almost expected it to me not as good as the second. I was so wrong. It's ... read more

Pros: Great album, you can listen to it over and over
Cons: Can't say there are any.
Summary: Jonny Lang has come a long way from his first album, "Kid Jonny Lang".With very little noise made about his first album, he sure did make quite a stir with his second. It was with this album that he started making headlines and moving up ... read more

Pros: Good solid rhythms and great backup band
Cons: What happened to any of his other hits?
Summary: I bought this record when I was 13 and he was 16...this guy made me want to play the guitar and it happened. I looked up to him in that sense of way,he was a child prodigy of the time...well him and Kenny Wayne Shepherd to be exact were named the new
