WANDER THIS WORLD is an Enhanced CD, which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

WANDER THIS WORLD was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.

When a wave of blues-playing wunderkids (Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Monster Mike Welch) arrived on the scene in the '90s, 16-year-old Jonny Lang was out alongside them with his debut LIE TO ME. On his follow-up, WANDER THIS WORLD, Lang once again teams up with ex-Prince mate David Z for yet another excellent collection of R&B-tinged blues.

Not yet old enough to drink, Lang has a voice that rings with the tone of an old soul, particularly on the late Luther Allison's "Cherry Red Wine," the album's only cover. Although this teen shreds impressively on songs such as the scorching "Still Rainin'," he shows an affinity for Memphis soul on "Second Guessing" and "Walking Away" and clavinet-driven funk on both "Before You Hit The Ground" and "I Am." When he's not channeling Otis Redding's spirit or rooting around in Prince's musical neighborhood, Lang's impressive range allows him to update the blues without making it sound readymade for a beer commercial. This results in an ominous title track whose main character's restless spirit is juxtaposed with the salvation flowing from "Leaving To Stay," a song wrapped in soulful redemption, countrified piano and a joyful chorus.

Recorded at Seedy Underbelly Studios & Oarfin Studios, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the Sound Kitchen, Nashville, Tennessee.

Personnel: Jonny Lang (vocals, guitar); Tommy Burroughs (acoustic guitar, background vocals); Jack Holder (guitar, keyboards); Steve Cropper, Kevin Bowe (guitar); Paul Diethelm (dobro); Eric Leeds (saxophone); Bruce McCabe, Ricky Peterson (keyboards); David Smith (bass); Richie Hayward (drums); Bekka Bramlett, Jimmy Davis, William Brown, Jessica Boucher, J.D. Steele, Jevetta Steele, Fred Steele, Billy Steele (background vocals).Q (12/99, p.122) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...this follow-up broadens the playing field to include R&B, hard rock and white soul. The depth and economy of his playing and a voice that sounds as if it's been doused in Wild Turkey and hung out to dry remain the distinguishing factors..."

5 stars One of the best blues player around
When I first heard this cd I was in seventh heaven. I love the blues and every cut on this cd is a hit. Not many musicians can cut an album or cd and have everyone a hit. I've bought copies and given them to friends and they all want to hear more of him. I hope he plays his music for many years. If you enjoy the blues you have to have this cd in your collection.

5 stars As Good As The First
I'd heard Johnny Lang on the radio and couldn't believe he was only 16. Then one of my daughters brought home the CD "Lie To Me" and I just about wore it out. Now I'm ready to wear this one out, too.

5 stars One of the greatest CD's of the last decade!
For me it's one of the rare CD's with music coming straight from the soul. More You listen to it, more You like and appreciate it. It's hard to define this music, it's none of pure styles but a mix of different influences (blues, R&B, soul, gospel und something undefined), put together in very harmonious set of sounds. It's astonishing how such a Young Man can have so much to say!!!

Jonny Lang Lie To Me CD  (1997)

Wander This World
CD $11.99  4.8 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Nipping at the heels of wiz-kid blues guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd, 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 flavor. 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 ...

After releasing a debut that drew raves from people such as James Brown and B.B. King, Kenny Wayne Shepherd followed it up with an album that demonstrates how much musical growth this childhood prodigy has experienced in two years. On TROUBLE IS..., Shepherd's playing still reflects the huge influence of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan (particularly on the instrumental title track that finds him joined by ...
