Jonny Lang (born Jon Gordon Langseth, Jr. in Fargo, North Dakota, January 29, 1981) is a Grammy Award-winning American blues and gospel singer.
In 1995 (at the age of 14) his first album, Smokin’ by Kid Jonny Lang & The Big Bang was released. As a result of the LP becoming a regional hit, a major-label bidding war ensued that culminated in Lang signing to A&M Records in 1996. In 1997 (at the age of 15) his major-label debut, Lie to Me, was released to mixed reviews.
Part of his success is due to a voice that sounds like that of 40 year-old blues veteran, containing a harshness tempered by a fine falsetto that has taken prominence in his newest albums. Another part of his success is his scorching, electrifying guitar solos, which display a prodigious natural talent honed by years of practice and playing. Whatever the secret to his success, the youngster has quickly become a fixture in the blues world, drawing crowds wherever he goes.
Lang has drawn deeply from the wellspring of influences from the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, Luther Allison, and Albert Collins. As he becomes more confident in his role as a veteran instead of a boy wonder, one can see the possibilities he has yet to share with his fans.

Aren’t you people forgetting that there’s a very fine line between blues and gospel. Great amount of the early blues was very religious. Blues has always been partly religious music. There were even artists that were preachers and great blues musicians at the same time. You people don’t have to buy the message the lyrics are sending if you don’t want to. You simply dig the music and listen to the lyrics through understanding where they come from.

Couldn't agree more sarahaupairah! Saw him live last weekend and he totally rocked the house whether he was playing blues OR gospel. I hope he never gives up playing either one.

Are you kidding? Turn Around is an amazing album! Jonny has NOT lost his bluesy roots, but he's added a whole other dimension to his music, with gospel organs and choirs. Plus, his soulful acoustic ballads are heartwrenching. It is only a blessing to his music that he has decided to praise God with the gifts he's been given! I saw him love after 'Turn Around' came out and he had not lost any of his blues superstar presence! The fact that he's playing with the Jonas brothers has nothing to do with his ability as a musician… maybe he just wants to reach a broader audience. I think he has a right to be heard.

I agree trechime...such a sad thing. [3] It's sad to see real talented people dying and a lot of trash raising. I heard the song "Turn around" on youtube and thought it could be a great new singer, but after downloading his discography I changed my mind, it's really a B.S.B. copy :)

It's sad to see what way Jonny has taken his career. He could've been the best blues artist of his generation, but it's all gone downhill since he became a Christian. Now he's starring at a Jonas Brothers album, these idiots don't even have the amount of talent together, Jonny has in his pinky.
