This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Like his American namesake Jonny, Australian guitarist Jeff Lang is a baby-faced blues phenom.
But while rock ’n’ roll Jonny is all hot licks and guitar-god grimaces, this Lang is more downhome — with his amplified acoustic guitar, dynamic fingerpicking style and edgy lyrics, he’s more like some grizzled old bluesman straight off of Parchman Farm. The ringing slide, the sizzling leads, the smouldering emotions are all the real deal. The only thing that breaks the voodoo spell is his too-young, too-clean voice. If only it were as expressive as his fingers, we’d have a new Lang on top of the blues charts.
