Jonny Lang - Lie to Me Very bloody good sooulful blues, and very acocmplished guitar. Amazing considering the kid is only 16. www.amazon.co.uk/Lie-Me-Jonny-Lang/dp/B000002G6A/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1205082193&sr=8-2 Description Nipping at the heels of wiz-kid blues guitarist Kenny WayneShepherd, who debuted at age 18, comes 16-year-old Jonny Lang, the most soulful guitar slinger ever to make it out of junior high school. Lang's debut, much like Shepherd's LEDBETTER HEIGHTS, features a mix of choice covers and co-written originals. But whereas HEIGHTS leans in a Delta-blues direction, Lang's blues has more of an R&B flavour. The Clavinet and Hammond B-3 organ on the title track and "Hit The Ground Running" help give LIE TO ME a funky swagger. As for influences, Lang's choices of Ike Turner's "Matchbox" and Syl Johnson's "Back For A Taste Of Your Love" show a taste for rousing shuffles and Memphis soul. Lang shows his commercial instincts by wrapping up the album with "When I Come To You" and the acoustic "Missing Your Love", two songs that wouldn'tsound out of place on a recent Eric Clapton album.

Ya, this kind of reminded me of Neal Schon, now Journey lead guitarist I think, who made it to Santana at that age. To me the best blues guitarist still have to be the demised SRV. Rock Joe Satraini is just fantastic and should be the best in rock. Btw, how's the SQ?

I've ordered Lie to me and Wander this world. That plus a paperback put me just over the £15 min order free P&P lark.

Just finished listening to Lie To Me. Fantastic stuff. Many thanks Sol. I'm now listening to Wander This World. Seems to be another excellent album so far. Cheers Sol EDIT: Wander This World is a more mainstream product than Lie to me but it's still a very good album. At the moment I prefer Lie To Me but for a fiver Wander This World is damn fine entertainment.
