Welcome back, Jonny Lang! On August 25th, 2017, more than four years after “Fight For My Soul”, Jonny will release “Signs”, his second album on Provogue in Europe.
It is hard to believe that at only 36 years old Jonny Lang has already had a successful career for two decades. Easier to believe when you learn he released his first platinum record at 15 - an age when many young people are just beginning to play music. Lang's sound started out as bluesy, influenced by electric pioneers like Albert Collins, B.B. King, and Buddy Guy, and evolved into a modern R&B style closer to Stevie Wonder and contemporary gospel music.
“Signs” is not merely a return to the artist’s guitar-based beginnings, but an embodiment of an even more elemental sound. It's about recapturing the spirit of the early blues, where the guitar was front and center, leaping out of the speakers.
“Signs” is available to pre-order on CD and vinyl here.
So getting back to basics, “Signs” is not merely a return to the artist’s guitar-based beginnings, but an embodiment of an even more elemental sound. Beyond focusing attention on his soloing prowess, it is about recapturing the spirit of the early blues.
“A lot of my earlier influences have been coming to the surface, like Robert Johnson, and Howlin’ Wolf”, Lang reports. “I have been appreciating how raw and unrefined that stuff is. I had an itch to emulate some of that and I think it shows in the songs on “Signs"”.
Tracklist:
1. Make It Move
2. Snakes
3. Last Man Standing
4. Signs
5. What You're Made Of
6. Bitter End
