Here. 25 yrs later. Love it

[@laurajane4806]

I first heard him on the radio back when DJ's were human. I heard the song "Lie to Me" and called the station to ask "who was that". That's how I met Jonny Lang :-)

[@annieclisch]

Too funny. I first heard him driving to work " Long time coming " on the radio, did what you did called the radio station to ask who sings long time coming. All these years later, CD's, Vinyl of his in my place ! Love him up !!!

[@realisticron4025]

For a brief second there, I thought the gray headed person was his Mama! Good to see the old guys with him, big age difference and sound great.

[@burlpage5260]

I wish people would stop saying Jonny is underrated, why would anyone say that , he's been around since he was 13 yrs old ,draws the crowd's everywhere he goes ! All over the world even, Any one that loves the blues knows who he is that's why they fill up the venues he plays , who are these under raters people are referring to ? Stop saying that, every blues head in the world knows Jonny Lang and that signature voice of his ! And I hear or read so many people are comparing him to other's and I wonder why ? Because he's not trying to sound like someone else or be someone else , He's Jonny with his own music his own style his own brand ! Appreciate him for who he is , There's nothing to compare not a thing !

[@alonzotanner1226]

Well live with it. He is underrated. Cuz you got mediocre to pretty good guys like John Mayer has 10x the fame he does, yet he is such a better performer and overall raw musician with more natural talent. I am sure he doesn't care about having more fame, but being someone who openly and unapologetically says he's underrated often, that's probably what everyone means. And I stick to what I and everyone else is saying. He is underrated as hell. One of the best blues musicians of the modern era.

[@greekgirl9897]

NOT UNDERRATED BY BLUES LOVERS LIKE ME!

[@40923-]

I think he's great,and he is very talented. He draws them big crowds anywhere he has played. So thats what says it all!!! Love this man allways

[@walterweir6788]

Yes,he definitely has a sound & style all his own. I drive a truck for a living & i utube Jonny Lang religiously...all i can say is he is a Badass .. no doubt!!

[@carolbadillo4654]

What he has comes from within

[@Septimussteele1985]

How far the world has fallen. I was 10 when I heard Johnny and thought music would survive. Commercialism makes it so hard to find. We need a renaissance

[@jimadams9586]

At this point, we need to take our Country and Freedoms back! 'Nuff said, except to say, this kid was phenomenal!

[@BlackmoreDavid]

[@patricialaine4903]

I pray that he gets his voice back and is feeling so much better!

[@riverfreddy]

I was born into a perfect storm, 1951. Best of times, best music. The kids just don't have a clue. Of course then they grow older and guess what? Oh yeah, good thing it's all on You Tube Baby!!! Peace on Earth!!!

[@MrPnew1]

Jonny Lang is the real deal. No question about it

[@user-bo3gs1ue4v]

So young to be So Soulful. Loved Jonny Long long time. Everyone i turn him on to, like me, In For Life 🫶

[@rogeredwards3577]

Heard of Jhonny in 2000, our lives have been MUCH better since that day! Even got to see him at RED ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@peachdaisy3478]

He was 18 here... imagine improving on what was already perfect. The band os unbelievable too!

[@sheilagilley3829]

I have always loved Jonny Land hes so handsome and I love listening to him and watching him play that guitar.. Hes the best in my book.

[@denniswilliams2385]

The very best of the best don’t nor never did need more than a few notes per measure in order to mesmerize you and Johnny was one of those few. It’s called soul and there just aren’t that many in modern music that possess even half an ounce of it when compared to him.

[@johnsallee7824]

Went to Disneyland with my wife, sister in law and all the kids. Johnny Lang was playing on one of the stages... This song! Gave my wife a couple of hundred bucks extra and said "You guys go have fun"...

[@johnsallee7824]

I also saw Kenny Wayne Shepherd at Disneyland when he was young!

[@CristianVargaMastervargas]

see kids, this is called live, real music ... it was back in the day. you missed it. lucky we have recordings.

[@karenlef3680]

We need more of this and less of the crap that passes for music nowadays,, if you can even call it that

[@debrarandall6913]

That's right! He recorded Lie To Me when he was FOURTEEN. What a talent.. amazing voice and his guitar playing. MAN!!! Its hard to even believe he was that young. He was maybe 16 when they made the video, but the album was cut about TWO YEARS already. He does NOT sing or play that guitar like a 14 year old kid. He is FANTASTIC! And to beat that, he's a really great person! Take notes kids. 😉

[@Septimussteele1985]

I thought this was was what I had to look forward to. Then it all stopped. On the seventh day god wrote the blues

[@lisaweaver986]

You lost to an artist of the lost about the musi to this make it to get ahead as all play to get into te land to . Sad. Jonny Lange isnt even a menation of the music world today.

While there are a lot of great guitarists in this world, very few of them have ever played with the passion, heart and soul of Jonny

[@cathieedmond8621]

I live in Canada and count myself lucky to have seen him live at our Bluesfest. Love his music. Wishing him good health and a return to performing.

One good band we stayed up all night listening and watching you good on you fellas.

Yes 👏 I share your opinion

[@rickingamells1078]

I’m almost 70 and lived in Grand Forks ND in 1990s . He was playing at my favorite bar . Never heard of him he was 16 years old . I walked in , kid in a green suit with his guitar teacher in his band . His parents had to be there . I knew then he would be famous

does a heart good to see a young blues rocker play like this. Great riffs with tons of energy. I have watched this many times, just doesnt get old

[@primesspct2]

no it never does! How a kid can sound like an old black man, and play like Buddy Guy the way he doe,s always blew my mind. He has been one of my favorites since hearing him mid 90s, and still is today! My dad turned me on to Johny!

[@jenniferray9344]

I saw him when he was very very young just starting up in cincinnati. The most amazing rendition of classic blues I have heard in a very very long time

[@jenniferray9344]

I couldn't get over how such a young man could have so much soul definitely reincarnated

I just don't understand if white people hate black men so bad why would they want to try to sound like one why would they want a copy our music we don't copy their music everybody copies our blues that comes from pain and they're making money off of our pain that's not fair that's not right and the whole damn thing is not good blues come from pain these people are using our blood and our music and our feelings for their profit how bad can that possibly be we don't play violins and whatever they have they play they're trying to feel our music but they don't feel the bloo

[@Utubesup7890]

@@lutherdrayton6535 I understand what you’re saying but if SRV and others like Jonny Lang didn’t bring Buddy Guy and others up on stage sadly, they wouldn’t get the money and recognition that was meant for them. So someone had to do it. Kenny Wayne shepherd has a dvd where he goes down south to give the older blues players recognition too. If the younger guys don’t do it do you want it to die out? Because it’s not that popular. Only with us guitarists. I respect all of them. And Clapton brings out Robert cray. The late BB King and others at his crossroads festival. Hubert Sumlin etc. I think he passed too. They ate of course responsible for so many Rick bands like The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin. Does everyone know? No. Only if you do your homework. And I have. I have all the stuff from Larry Mitchell to the late Hiram bullock to Prince. Name it. I’m aware. PS please don’t generalize that all white Jen hate all black men. That’s not true. Generalizing is easy to do. Trying not to do that is much harder. Don’t lump us altogether please. There’s bad and good in all.

[@tymesho]

@@Utubesup7890 Thanks to the Lord my "lily white" (native Detroit) parents had Jazz/R&B/Motown/Blues coursing through their veins when I came about. Our suburb was completly white back in the late fifties to the early seventies. The Mom and Pop's had a popular music store that carried a good range of instruments, specializing in horns. I was oblivious to the newfound wise guys in the neiborhood knocking me as I came up. My Pop's also was a club speakers' nut. THAT didn't go well in our cul-de-sac, lol. As I hit my teens, our home became THE place to come over to listen to really good garage bands from all over the area. It was Heaven!

[@patriciakenney5789]

Amen on that.

[@clairvoyant5027]

Artists like Stevie Ray Vaughn and Johnny Lang are weaned on Southern Black Culture. These 2 artists are the exception to the rule (they give proper attribution/respect). And it's reflected in the authentic heart and soul of their music. Today with social media and formal music training, the imitation lag has grown shorter. Careers are still made playing race music.In a world where the progenitors struggle & protest to survive. And have to remind us: "Ain't I A Woman", "I Am A Man", and "Black Lives Matter. They fought Americas wars, (for North and the South), Civil Rights and today's Social Justice Inclusion for All Movement... Yet the spoils of war are usurped by generations of successive waves of immigrants... Amorphic definitions of "minority" and "people of color" that then pass for "white" within one generation. Spiritual, "Mountain Music", Gospel, Blues, Stride, Ragtime, Jazz, Boogaloo, Boogie Woogie, Salsa, Plena, Reggae, Reggaetón, Merengue, Samba, Bass Nova, Hip hop, Rap, Rock etc. What if Americans, Latinos, and Europeans appreciated the descendants of your slaves, as much as you do their Culture.
