American blues singer and guitarist from Fargo, North Dakota, who emerged as a teenage blues prodigy in the 1990s and gained attention for his album Lie To Me.

Born January 29, 1981 in Fargo, North Dakota. Early career marked by teenage breakthrough; won a Grammy in the Gospel field in 2006 (as noted in the review).

joejoeblues praises Jonny Lang's 1997 album Lie To Me, calling the teenage Lang a credible blues player with strong guitar phrasing and vocal presence. The review highlights the title track, covers like "Good Morning, Little School Girl" and solid production and backing performances. The author views Lang's later career as less consistently inspired but notes occasional reconsecration.

For:Fans of blues, blues-rock and guitar-driven music; listeners interested in 1990s blues prodigies and Stevie Ray Vaughan-influenced players.

 In the aftermath of the well-known 1990 helicopter accident that deprived the world of the crystal-clear talent of a Stevie Ray Vaughan at the peak of his career, some of the major American labels specializing in blues-rock immediately set out in search of someone who could at least partially fill the void left by the Dallas guitarist, axemen capable of satisfying the growing number of \u0022hard-blues\u0022 enthusiasts that developed during those years, thanks especially to the lightning career of Mr. SRV.
