I first heard, saw on TV, this kid at 16! Blew me away!!! He still does! Hadn't seen much lately until last night 2/17/2024 on my local PBS station with Buddy Guy!! So happy to see him again & watching the 2 of them was like being in on a jam session where they were having so much fun!! Incredible blues, shredding those guitars & vocals!! I'm guessing you can find it on PBS somewhere under Buddy Guy. 🤩😁❤
What the fuck does that even mean? It's blues, blues never gets old, blues transcends all time. It's not some fucking pop tune that should have got old and tired a long time ago, it's motherfuking blues, good blues will always be listened to no matter what no matter what time no matter what year no matter what century no matter what planet blues will never get old. Everybody is listening at any time all the time. It's the blues dumbass
👍 I’m just about 70 and just saw this video today. It blew me away, as did watching Derek Trucks play 🎸 in his early teens did! * He also looked like he just walked off the farm too!
Well, To Me he is, and You, and many others considered him to be. That's good enough for History. And That's the BLUES. Never get the credit you deserve til after you die man. Thems the blues. : ) Godbless Us (Group Hug) Reminds me of the Rod Stewart song: thank you Sam, thank you Otis, thank you Muddy, (since they were SO kept down,) for the sounds you made, and the Times WE SHARED. : ( never meeting someone, but feeling as if you Know Them, but Knowing that you Love them. God Bless Us
U know he had to be raised in or very near a black neighborhood with black friends. That is where the SOUL came from. Because he wasn't born singing or playing music that way. U learn that from exposure to that culture.
@@sellisteneterwilliger9253 His parents took him to live shows and got him lessons when he expressed an interest in it. Not necessary to live anywhere when there is recorded music and local talent.
That guy sitting quietly back in the corner playing keyboards wrote this song..... Bruce McCabe. I've seen him quite a few times playing with the Lamont Cranston Band out of Minneapolis. He wrote a couple of other Johnny Lang songs also.
I am 62 and just discovered this incredibly talented young man. He and his band are awesome. Why don't more if us plus sixty years old not have been exposed to him? I just randomly ran across him on tube. The kid now man is great
You’re just catching up man! I’m 70 and bought his first album. He’s amazing! Missed seeing him live by a couple of months but I hear he puts on a great show.
I saw Jonny Lang around this time at the old Grand Emporium in Kansas City. Standing room for 300. My ears rang for three days. My smile lasted at least that long.
it's February 2021and sitting here listening to this young man rock from when he was just 16 is really incredible...Just an amazing..amazing talent at 40..WOW!!
i just found this song by him (his first one i've heard) + already blown away. i can't believe this was 24 years ago. it could be released now + would stand up against pretty much any artist in 2021 [el'sda].
I am 31 years old and the fact I've been listening to Jonny Lang since I was 7 actually blows my mind. I can not wait to see him perform live again one day
💯 started listening to him when I was 13 and 36 now. First ever cd I heard by him was Wander This World. My brother in law showed it to me and still amazing to listen to.
Saw this young man in 1997 in Richardson, Texas at the annual Wildflower Festival and he blew the doors off and he was only 17 years old. Quite an amazing talent!!! Not enough credit!!
I do understand Lisa yes. I saw him in concert years ago. Live is just as good as the cd. That night screaming was very loud. Mostly everyone was up on their feet all the night. That night though I had a bad leg and could only stand up a little while. hahahaha Love the concert. Yes!
17 with a voice of 45 and a guitar talent for blues like Clapton and many other greats. Love his music. Being young he got rapped in the drug scene but has since found the the lord and was able to come back and become one of the best. Amazing voice and guitar.
To think that just four years after first picking up a guitar this guy was absolutely killing it on the stages that most artists can only dream about performing on. Talk about a gift!
Been following Jonny since the beginning. Finally got to see him about 3 years ago touring with Buddy Guy. That was a night to remember. Awesome talent that young man.
This young man has so much soul and now he’s almost 39 and he’s still as powerful as he was then. They don’t come anybody than Jonny. Jonny soul spills into my soul. He is absolutely amazing on the guitar 🎸
Shit, who can rock the blues like this at 16 years old? Wow, I've always liked this guy, even back then. In 1997 I was like 12 and I loved it when this song came on the radio when it did. This guy can rock and he really gets into it. Wish he had a bigger career though. John Mayer came out a few years later and ended up being well, John Mayer. Honestly, I like John Mayer but I've always been more partial to Jonny Lang's music. It's more raw to me and the way he brings it is just awesome.
My favorite song by Jonny Lang is Still Rainin. I first was introduced to his music by watching PBS' Austin City Limits. Then I saw him in concert in the ATL years later. I just had to go to that concert. Purchase two cds after watching him in concert. Cherry Red Wine and the Levee are my two other favorites. He can play that guitar and the music goes all through him.
Johnny is one of the best, if not the best, blues guitarist and singers in the modern era. He is so underrated. He has continuously put out fantastic music for over 20 yrs now. Having the honor of hearing him perform live is an experience. It's never the same way twice. I have seen him 3 times now and I will be seeing him again next year when he comes through Atlanta.
This kid is true to the game, he's a real musician and stands by the blues. Unlike the tilted cap followers who make a sudden hit by spinning a few records no instruments involved. His style, the look on his face, the profound grit he belts out lyrics with screams he is here to perform. We all agree on many things we love about him, well here is one more, he no doubt blew the frigging doors off the Conan show and most likely had to politely decline possible lip synching by saying I can't fake the blues, but as a true showman I will give you a top shelf performance
Incredibly talented… but what really blows me away is having the gusto to go out, at that age, live on national TV in front of a live audience… and just destroy it! It’s something 99.9% of people just don’t have in em. It makes me laugh it’s so surreal. Johnny is still kicking it too and doing great, and hasn’t “sold out” which is also great to see!
Unbelievable at his voice 16 yes old and can sing a song and play a guitar like Jonny does is a talent that very few has just can't stop listening to him he can belt a blues song as good or better then anyone that I've ever heard
Love love love this guy! This is the very DEFINITION of full body emotion, expression and intensity !couple that with his amazing guitar skills and youthful good looks and you have the total performer and entertainer!!
I saw him playing on Beale St. in Memphis Tenn. at BB Kings place I believe he was only 13 at that time and was just as good then.... Awesome performer with MASSIVE TALENT...
Seen him live in my home town...😮..and only a few people were there at the venue...what a way for my boyfriend and I to have that opportunity...he got his drummers sticks😮❤
Came here after hearing all concerts cancelled for now due to voice health. Honestly, I have seen him live and love his energy, but even without his voice he is a great guitar performer and I think he could do a whole album just playing guitar and having different guest singers and it would still sell ! (I know I'd buy it). Hope his voice heals up for him.
I love Johnny Lang got to see him live in Portland Oregon. One of the best concerts. Saw him years ago with BB King. What a great musican singer. Thank you for your reaction videos. PLEASE Do More Videos. This Grandma still Rocks to him.
Fucking awesome song ,,great blues song,,,well Jonny Lang,,wish him all the best ,,hopefully he will tour Australia one time,,keep on plucking those strings forever more,,he reminds of The Great Stevie Ray Vaughan !,,cheers Dougie Maxwell Dowerin Western Australia
👍 🎸 🎤, esp by a 16 yr old boy! I’m about 70, and only just discovered Jonny Lang a week ago. The video I 1st saw was fairly recent, and he was his mid 40’s IIRC. Now I found another one to keep searching for more music from! Reminds me of the young Derek Trucks - when someone is that talented so young, they must have been born with music in their blood 🩸!
There used to be a file-sharing service called AudioGalaxy, from which I used to listen to stuff, about 19 or so years ago. I heard an unbelievable version of Robert Johnson's 'Malted Milk' on it, by an act called 'Jonny Lang and The Big Bang', from an EP (I think) called 'Smokin'. Little did I then know that it was being performed by a 13-14 year-old Jonny Lang. It was just brilliant! Been a fan ever since.
