5.0 out of 5 stars Great early release, December 6, 2003

Very bluesy - slower than his later releases. Hopefully he will come back to this style as he matures and after he's done experimenting with other sounds.

3.0 out of 5 stars For Ken deLanguillette, October 7, 2003

This is a re-issue of Lang's first CD issued on an independent label. So, it is true that this is a high school kid playing the blues, because that's exactly what it is. Judge this CD in its original context - an unknown blues talent cuts his first CD on an indie label that gets noticed by the big labels. This is not where Jonny is at today.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, November 30, 2003

This is not Jonny Lang at his best -- his best is probably mostly available when you see him in person. At very nearly his best on his album Lie to Me, Jonny is backed by absolutely masterful musicians while playing fantastic arrangements.
That said, this album of Jonny in his younger days is still better than most of what is coming onto the market these days. Smokin' is enjoyable listening, if nothing else. If you're like me, you'll be happy just to have some new tunes to listen to. If Jonny continues to improve and mature as a blues artist, as I expect he will, anyone who buys this album will be glad to have a piece of his history in the making.
