- Kid Jonny Lang is no rookie when it comes to the blues. Anyone who s heard Lang s gravel-textured croon or seen him slinging his Telecaster knows that he s an old soul with a powerful musical gift for brilliant, emotive melodies. On his major label debut Lie To Me, that gift shone through and through as the album spawned two hit singles and effectively launched Lang into the stratosphere. Thankfully, the best was yet to come with 1998 s masterpiece Wander This World, which found Lang adding a bit of Southern soul and funk to his already diverse palette. Now, as Lang continues to expand his audience with the latest release, Long Time Coming, we present this unique and very special tribute to not only the songs of Lang but also to his predecessors and influences. A talented group of veteran musicans and producers, dubbed The New Blues Society, offer fresh new renderings of Lang s best tunes while blues legends B.B. King, Lightnin Hopkins, Howlin Wolf and others take it back to beginning, to the roots of this immensely gifted performer. Enjoy! –Cleopatra Records
