Details: ReviewLang indulges in some of the hammiest, way-over-cooked vocal contortions heard since the white-blues revival of the late ’60s. — Entertainment WeeklyAmazon.caOne would think that jumping into the pop-rock marketplace after being branded a blues player might confuse a 17-year-old guitar whiz. No way. Jonny Lang, with the lucid advice of ace producer David Z, understands the role of the blues as solid ground for someone who wants to take flight with intelligent, well-crafted music that has a wide audience. His second album’s strengths lie with his gruffly appealing singing voice and his lean, razor-edged guitar phrases. The material is solid, with songs that range stylistically from the ingratiating funk number « I Am » (a hitherto unrecorded David Z and Prince composition), to the it-sure-sounds-like-a-rock-hit « Still Rainin' » (complete with thunderous chords and soulful female backup singers), to a griddle-hot take on the late Chicago blues guitarist Luther Allison’s « Cherry Red Wine. » All 12 songs are of a piece, tied together by Lang’s unassailable musical integrity and his freshness of vision. And R&B master guitarist Steve Cropper is on hand in the Minneapolis recording studio to insure the soulful vibe. –Frank- John Hadley
