5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best CD's of the Year!, August 5, 2000

This review is from: Wander This World (Audio CD)

Youth has its own special grace. This is one of the best CD's of 2000 or any year! It's safe to say Jonny Lang is a prodigy, although some credit has to go to producer David Z. There's not a bad track here, but "I Am," (co-written by Prince, David Z, and Levi Seacer, Jr.) "Angel of Mercy," and "Wander This World" are three astonishing standouts. Better still is "Right Back," written by Jerry Lynn Williams and Danny Kortchmar. Even better than that is "Before You Hit the Ground," written by Kevin Bowe and Mr. Lang. And best of all is the brilliant (Bowe/Lang) "Breakin Me," already a radio hit. Discussing blues influences is like peeling back layers of an onion to find a center, but I definitely hear echos of the great Paul Butterfield Blues Band, especially in the drumming and piano arrangements. What pushes Lang ahead of other great guitarists such as Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Clapton is his singing voice, reminiscent of Joe Cocker's style. Do we do the boy harm raving about his work at such a young age? If he can withstand the ravages of fame, there's not much telling what this kid can come up with. Get this--it's a masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wander This World is Amazing, August 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Wander This World (Audio CD)

This album is simply amazing. Jonny keeps getting better better. He tries some different styles of music on this follow up to Lie To Me. There are very few albums where I love every single song on it, and this is one of those albums. I even enjoy this Import even better because it contains 2 additional songs that weren't on the U.S. version. Those songs are Stop Pushin' On Me and If This Is Love. If you already have Wander This World then you really need to get this version, you will not regret it. If you don't have this album at all, then you will definately need to get it. This album should be on top of the charts but I think it's only because not everyone has heard it yet. So order this right now, drop everything and order.

4.0 out of 5 stars exhilirating peice of blues work for a up and coming star., December 30, 1999

This review is from: Wander This World (Audio CD)

This cd marks an astonishment on an ever growing career in blues for a 18 year guitarist from minnasota.He mixes blues with a modern blend of his own,with catchy songs such as (breakin me,second guessing and i am)to the deep song enthusiasm he puts in such great song as the leeve and cherry red wine. He surely will someday follow in a great group of guitarist's such as eric clapton and jimi hendrix he can only get better in time. This cd his second following the prior release LIE TO ME is a 4 star only miscounting for 1 star cause he is just so young but just oh so talented WANDER THIS WORLD is every thing you want in a blues/modern rock compilation so i recommend you buy this for an ever loving blues fan in your home they certainly will enjoy. If this review isn't enough to convince you check out the sample show above to listen to this great young bluesman crank out the rock solid blues.
