Jonny Lang to release the album 'Signs'
INTERNATIONALLY acclaimed singer and guitarist, Jonny Lang is to release, his first album
in four years. The project 'Signs' will be issued on 8th September
through Concord Records. A press release read, "'Signs' is not merely
a return the artist's guitar-based beginnings, but an embodiment of an
even more elemental sound. Beyond focusing attention on his soloing
prowess, it is about recapturing the spirit of the early blues, where
the guitar was front and center, fairly leaping out of the speakers."
Lang went on to say, "A lot of my earlier influences have been coming
to the surface, like Robert Johnson and Howlin' Wolf. I have been
appreciating how raw and unrefined that stuff is. I had an itch to
emulate some of that and I think it shows in the songs. Still, I let
the writing be what it was and that was sometimes not necessarily the
blues." Lang has also began a tour, which will include USA, Canada,
Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and an appearance at
London Folk And Roots Fest on 4th November.
