JONNY LANG: SINGER/MUSICIAN

Jonny Lang
just released his 6th studio album 
FIGHT FOR MY SOUL, out on iTunes 9/17/2013. 
This album is a new direction and change of pace for Lang from the hard hitting blues he grew up on.  The ‘Kid Jonny Lang’ is all grown up; at the age of 32 he is a husband, and the father of four (1 Boy, 3 Girls).

Lang, primarily a heavy hitting blues guitar slinging player with a gravely voice recorded his first album at the age of 14. As a young kid, Lang toured with the best in the ‘Blues World’ like Buddy Guy, BB King, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and many others.  In 1998 he was nominated for a Grammy for his album WANDER THIS WORLD, at the age of 17, but he didn't win a Grammy until 2006 with his Gospel influenced album TURN AROUND.

This new album is another turn-about from blues and gospel to contemporary 
soul/pop rock and I think you will be surprised how good it really is. He released his single from the album  a few weeks ago 'Blew Up' (The House), a good solid rocking song with Lang's guitar finesse. The more I listen to it the more I like it. It is a mature softer side of Lang, sure to win you over.
