So true and there's not many out there like him.

True

he's not recording this raw blues anymore, what's that?

I can appreciate finding a better him though!

Couldn't have said any better he's phenomenal

Thank you for your service and my condolences for your disease, but obviously you still have musical taste! ;)

Exactly

Even as a young kid! I started following him after Buddy Guy introduced him at age 13!! ❤️

Everything!

Yes I agree, he plays so simple but sound great with an old vocal... And it's amazing...love this guy

I saw him in Houston once and there were a lot of people there, still, anybody you talk to will say " Who?"

Saw KWS for the first time ever last year, and think the same about BOTH of them...

I’m shocked at my age and all the music I’ve listened to, I never heard of this man. Then one night listening to Amazon Music, there he was. And I haven’t stopped listening to him since.

He wouldn't yield to the establishment. Same as Johnny Winter. Refused to 'play ball' with record execs..hated doing interviews at the radio stations ect.... Without social media as it is today, these guys had limited options to get their music out there..but they never sold out. They just played what they loved to play and if people came to see them great! If not oh well.. True bluesman. One of the absolute best ever.

WOOOW! He is AWESOME!!

true enough

Daniel Dougan , ain't that the truth. This boy is bad to the bone

Daniel Dougan

Yes it is!!

Kenney Wayne plus he can sing!

He was singing like this at age 15! Saw him with Chris Whitley around the time of this video.

Exactly 💯

@@brutalblues now his voice is ripped out..Can only take so much abuse I guess..

You got that right👍 i’m so glad he has stayed true to himself❣️ so phenomenal🤠

Absolutely 💯 ♥️♥️

Same!

He is in the blues music world

My wife and I have seen him 4 times. If you get a chance go.

I'm surprised that after years of listening to all kinds of music I never heard of til today.

From Africa..I agree with you entirely.. he is a class in his own way

Hard to believe he was only 16 when he did Lie To Me.

Awsome fucking AWSOME LOVE TO SEE HIM CONCERT

Yea⁰Jonny is one of the best he sings with so. o much feeling he can sound like a 60

Lie to Me is one of my favorites to play drums to!! Great song!!!

A wide range of music was shared with me in my youth and I share all of that diverse music with my kids. They like Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne Sheppard.

@@aaronbertman2406 keep it going man.

You got that right

I’ll second that!! He is one of the Best guitarist I’ve ever heard!! You can tell he really feels his music down deep!!

Where can I find his cds etc

hes def. good but lets scale back the goat part.

I think he us awesome! Where did you go Johnny Lang? You should work with Johnny Depp. Look he is trying to play, he has look but he needs some if your help. No punts intended!

Fr, just found him a month back on apple music and my jaw dropped.

Jesus told judas open ur heart not ur mind

Tonight is first night i EVER heard him......and i am absolutely bowled over!! The guy and his music ........unbelievably talented!! I cannot say how impressed i am!!

It's easy to understand how you missed him. He wasn't born until the 80s.

@@trinidadapodaca7027 what kind of idiot non sequitur is that?

Everyone said he would be the next Stevie Ray Vaughan but Jonny Lang he would hire people in his fan and tram to the roughest Tucker's Bar and see if they can hold their own and then he said you can join my band if they didn't get your ass whooped

I second that :)

Jason Elliott, slap you in the face? IT FUCKING PUNCHED ME. This is pure ASS kicking rock

IKR!

Oh hell yeah!

Jason Elliott Check out Lie to Me.

The girl on backing vocals just rips it also what a beautiful song

Age 40 ? 😲. He still looks like a boy. He’s an awesome talent. Long live blues .

Because a guy like this isn't having his music manufactured by a giant studio with lots of money to throw around, and get as much exposure as possible, as often as possible. It's about money. And, like Hollywood, and the video game industry, the most popular stuff is the dumbed down to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

+Sue T. He did blow up back in the late 90s! I remember when that happened because I loved his blues and so did others. Jonny Lang has a newer song called Blew Up The House. He sings about the problems he had because he'd walked away from God, was selfishly living his own way, and walking the wide path of destruction instead of God's straight and narrow path. When he wouldn't do what the music industry wanted him to do and turned his life around, things changed with him. That may be why he was shut out. The lyrics in Blew Up The House tell his story!

+Sue T. I spelled Jonny Lang's name wrong in my previous post and couldn't edit. I remember around that time that Kenny Wayne Shepherd was also popular with his blues. KWS was born in 1977 and Jonny Lang was born in 1981. I Googled some info and they were touring together in 2015. Jonny had gotten into doing drugs after he hit the music scene and that may be another reason why he didn't stay popular. There is also the fact that there is really no local radio stations for blues music. Blues doesn't fit into mainstream pop or country. It is a true shame, but it's a fact! I hope you're doing well +Sue T. 😊

;) Thank you for the intelligent, comment. KQ had him on several times...but Lie to me, I see it in such a different way now...

Sue T. You're welcome. 😊 When I saw Lie To Me in the late 90s, I saw the video on MTV. I don't remember Jonny Lang or KWS getting any air play on our local radio stations at all. I watched that vid last night and it was just how I remembered it. Jonny going into what looks like a music store, picking a guitar, and jamming! I knew the meaning of the song back then due to things that have happened in my own life. Have a great weekend Sue T.​ 👍

YES!!

F*** yeah f*** yeah he can and when he plays live he's even better better up close and personal

He'll be remembered as one of the best there ever was his time's coming

Don't forget gorgeous!

radio no longer plays rock or blues, they play crap by people who dont know what rock or blues music is.

@@wesleyshepherd8971 Ain't that the truth. I quit on listening to the radio 20 yrs ago and went to cd's.

Rock, Blues, Jazz, and Metal are the red-headed step children of the music industry.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. So forgive me if I'm wrong what you're saying is the 4 genres you just mentioned are the illegitimate offspring of then music industry? Meaning they couldn't produce a tune that's worth a shit? Shouldn't it be that the music industry is the real illegitimate child in this scenario? Whereas all they give a shit about is $$$$?

So right! He doesn’t just play the guitar, he BECOMES the guitar! ❤️

Jonny lang is the bluesman of today

Bassoma .hopefully spelled right

He still hang out in New Orleans?

With you there Taylor. I am almost 81 and a music-blues-rocker forever. Saw Joe Bonamassa in ‘17…have all his CD’s. Jonny was suggested to me yesterday by the lady at the gas station (wearing a Pink Floyd Tee 🤟). I am blown away! Total natural talent.

Johnny and Kenny Wayne kind of knocked each other out of becoming great and household names. People got them confused.

KWS brought me here!

Justin glad you said that, to me the two are so similar - been a fan for of both for 20 years!

Apparently so have I.

Justin same

Love this guy

Too too damn true

Randall Berry

"i was born in the wrong generation"

No Shit!!!

But, you can still enjoy it...this music has no generation...been around for ever it seems..crap comes and goes but good music never dies..

H. Withaar what's your age have to do with it?

H. Withaar I’m 50 and I enjoy him too

Lorraine Ashby Stevie Ray Vaughn, Johnny Lang who's # 1

@@michaelarmstrong7143 In my honest opinion I will say Mr. Stevie Ray Vaughan is # 1. I believe Stevie Ray Vaughan was his Godfather. Not taking any respect away from Jonny Lang, I like his music, and he's pretty Bad on guitar, and vocals too!

Tears off the soul

It's never too late!!

Lie to me is an amazing album. His 2nd album .his first on a major label recorded when he was just 15. ! Was released after he turned 16....Jonny has had throat issues so nothing new for a while. Cancelled concerts Dr orders ....

TOTALLY!!

Thatbaby face is in its thirties now....showbiz is hard on the visage...

Hell No!! And I'm 52 yrs old!!

Ditto. He played with Buddy Guy at the Chicago theater back in about 2013 or maybe it was 2014, or so. Terrific!

Back in the early 90’s I saw BB King, Buddy Guy and Eric Johnson in MA. Buddy opened, had the place ROCKIN’!! Eric Johnson cane out, great guitarist, but put us all to sleep. BB King? As always just fantastic! I could listen to this man sing and read the phone book for weeks at a time and it would never get old. The Master! Damn shame it wasn’t Jonny touring with them but I’m not sure when Jonny started or if Mr King even knew him or of him at that time.

Saw him and Buddy Guy play in San Antonio 2018 mind blowing

Pretty sure it was in 14 shame he didn't get it out with SRV AND JRV

That must have been nice

He has an old soul inside him

Go back and listen to his early teen music when he known as Kid Johnny Lang. He was something of a child prodigy. He has a peculiar intense style that may not appeal to all blues lovers. His talent is undeniable though.

You should see his performances from his teens!! lol

Sorry old comment but u should check him oit from 97 when I discovered him. He was like 15 when I first heard him.. Maybe 14. Lie to me was the first one i heard.

@@tituschad1144 weirdly i heard my daughter listening to Robert Pattinson(yeah guy from Twilight!) singing and made me remember Johnny Lang. I first heard him around 97 and still dont know where hes been. I bought his cd back then. Wicked sound
