The blues has a new young champion; from Minneapolis via Fargo ND at the age of 12 Lang became the leader of the group Bad Medicine. Rechristened Kid Jonny Lang & the Big Bang their indie album (Smokin ) became a regional hit selling over 25 000 copies. Lang s 1st major label debut contains a fantastic blend of originals and covers played with soul taste and intensity; if Lang were 45 instead of 15 the results would be no less staggering. First single: Lie to Me serviced to college and AAA radio.
