Jonny Lang cut his debut album in Memphis when he was just 15, and, upon its release in 1996, the guitar prodigy from Minneapolis instantly became one of the leading lights of modern blues. He's a fast and flashy player whose approach rests equally on technical assurance and musical intelligence. Sizing up a dozen songs, he gets a pleasing, razor-sharp sound out of his ax while building excitement in his lead lines--thankfully, he steers clear of cliché and bombast. As a fledging singer, he acts out the lyrics of Ike Turner's age-old shuffle "Matchbox" and his own romantic ballad "Missing Your Love" with surprising poise and believability. Kudos to producer David Z for surrounding Lang with alert, first-rate sidemen and for helping select good material from Turner, Sonny Boy Williamson, Tinsley Ellis, and others. <I>--Frank-John Hadley</I>

5 out of 5 stars I love Jonny Lang.......2007-02-17

I have two of these ... one for the car. A great listen.

4 out of 5 stars A great debut CD, a great blues CD.......2007-02-10

"Lie to me" would be a wonderful blues CD without the knowledge that Lang was 16 when it was recorded. Knowing that makes it astoundingly well done. Lang's guitar work propels many of the songs all by itself and his voice has that rough, world-weary quality that works so well with the blues. When you listen to him sing you can't believe he's so young. The rest of the band is also top-notch, I particularly like the drums throughout. "Lie to me" is a great song to start the disc off with and his covers of "Good Morning Little School Girl" and "Matchbox" are some of the best I've heard. A great debut CD, a great blues CD.

This was the worst CD I have ever received. It did not have a case at all and the CD did not even play. I returned the CD and did not receive my money back.

5 out of 5 stars Bought it unheard.......2007-01-16

I had not even heard this CD, but loving Jonny Lang, I took the chance, and it paid off in spades. This is a great CD. Couldn't pick a favorite song if I had to.....love it all.
