@@heikeleandra2927Ich auch.. bin 72 . Dieser Song ist einer für die Ewigkeit... der wird nicht alt, den höre ich immer wieder mit Genuss und bisweilen feuchten Augen..
Johnny Lang came out of the womb 50 yrs old and walked out of the maternity ward with George Thorogood smoking a pall mall stud looking for the nearest bar with live music.
Take note that Lang wrote the song at 15, you're watching him in this video at 16, & he was on his first world tour at 17. This LA native's seen many "legends", this guy's the real deal -
@@raiderfandew Surprised by comment, from everything I've read. Did look it up. Song was a collaboration between Lang and Bruce McCabe. So, while not the sole author, still pretty impressive for a fifteen-year-old.
Heard this song on the radio 23 years ago. Told my husband, get that cd! Expecting an old black guy on the cover 😂. A 17 year old white kid from ND!!! was killing the blues. Life lesson.... try not to pre judge. Still love the song.
I remember seeing him perform on the Nickelodeon channel is the 90s when he was a kid. I expected a mature man to be singing and was so surprised to see that this voice was coming from a kid. So talented.

I would absolutely love to hear MELODY CRISTEA OF LILIAC sing this, either as a cover with her band, or a featured guest signer along with JL! I think she has a voice with the power to match JL!
I still love John Kay. I still listen to him. I'm 63 and I still think he never got the praise he deserves. Forgotten Songs and Unsung Heros is still my favorite album. I bought it at Paris Flea Market in OKC, OK for 1.00. I still believe it was the best dollar I ever spent ❤🦅 Aug. 18, 2024
I’m a 58 y/o woman who found him when he first started. This song, in particular, never fails to get me to turn it to ‘11’. ALWAYS be one of my fav songs ever.
It’s awesome to see he still has a great following! Im actually his second cousin, though I’ve only met him once at a wedding on the Langseth side(most people don’t realize his full last name was Langseth) He’s very loved by our family and the people of Minnesota and north dokota, but awesome to see others still jamming to him!
I'll be 30 years old in Apr and I remember being a kid, listening to this album while my Mom danced around and cleaned the house on Sunday mornings. I miss you Momma ❤
I'll be a lot older, at the end of this month, I used to do the same thing, listening to Johnny, well, the dancin' around part with my little ones around, those are good memories for me, and for them too, I hope, I'm glad you have those memories of your momma, it's a beautiful thing ~ God bless, Ashley & take care ~
Hearing this back when for the first time, I was expecting to see an older, grizzled white blues singer with the more typical good-looking black female black back-up singers. The video presents a well-packaged demographically reverse engineered commercial product, but I can't complain about what I'm hearing. A hot groove.
sHIT i GREW UP WITH TOPHER PETERSON IN KNOX INDIANA . THE BLUES RUN THROUGH HIS VEINS, HE MAKES FRANK SOUND GOOD LMAO. TRUE FACTS LOOK THEM UP AND LET ME KNOW LOL
It's about the time his Dad took away his Sega Game Gear for a week, and then added another week at the end of the first week. Turns out his Dad bought himself some new games and was having a blast playing them. Dad was lying. Jonny Lang sure knows the blues.
Still remember, as a 14 year old kid, him playing at the Bayfront Blues Festival, in '95, and coming down off the stage, only to stand RIGHT in front of me, playing about a 10 minute guitar solo, with his hair waving all over the place! And I had just put my camera away.......lol
@Pauline Chapman....he was all of 16 when I first saw him, and hiding behind his hair. Some guys who'd obviously not heard him yet were yapping away, "who's this kid"? When he finally opened his mouth to sing, their jaws dropped. Fine example of never judge the book by its' cover...
I'm now almost 79 years old and still listen to this every once in a while. I saw him in concert in Boise, Idaho about 20 years ago and he blew me away. A true talent. They say you have to live it before you can sing the blues, but he proved them wrong.
He was a genius player at 14 when he was taking lessons from a guy in The Bad Medicine Blues Band. He learned so quick and was so good they asked him to join the band, at 14 freakin years old and changed the bands name to Kid Johnny Lang and The Big Bang then a rep from A&M signed him to make solo records. Kid was a natural. He gets together every year with other musicians and guitarists mostly to pay tribute to Jimmy Hendrix. Kids a class act.
He played a saxophone solo for his 7th grade band concert. It blew everyone away. Everybody was like....what just happened? I know because I was also in that band. Hahahah
Jonny Lang came to our High School in 1996-1997 up in Montreal, Quebec. Nobody eveb knew who this kid was, but I was floored by his voice. Very underrated artist.
My son gave this CD to me in. '96 he would not tell me how old Jonny is until I heard him play and sing. He knew I would not waste time on a 16 year old blues man. Fell deeply instantly. Still can't get too much
Johnny my friend….Jesus was a heck of a savior, but who needs guitar strings when that God guy can make himself perfectly solid, no disappearing act is better than the holy person that never gives in until he realizes he just doesn’t like the way you are and knew all along the only way to resolve that was to take lessons from the world famous crystal clear man!!!
@@user-ne4sq9ct8t 🤣🤣 Get a clue. The backup singer is Bekka Bramlett. No relation to Jonny. She is however, the daughter of songwriting duo Delaney and Bonnie.
all these years later, and I STILL have a hard time believing that this voice and this sound came from a young 14-15 year old boy! SUCH AN AMAZING SOUND! gives me chills.
I remember seeing him play his HS Homecoming game 1/2 time show back in the day. Too bad he 'changed' and is now 'lost' the the BB King status he once had.
He is great,how csn someone as young as him have some much feeling and sound .its a gift and he has it .ive seen him about 3times .i love him .so good.
I turned 70 this year and have had a crush on this kid and his talent forever. He effing rocks and I grew up during the time when music was really music
I agree. But maybe music is still music but viewer and viewer of our younger "generationals" do not get introduced to real music. That's the real sad part.
Jonny Lang cut his debut album in Memphis when he was just 15, and, upon its release in 1996, the guitar prodigy from Minneapolis instantly became one of the leading lights of modern blues. He's a fast and flashy player whose approach rests equally on technical assurance and musical intelligence. Sizing up a dozen songs, he gets a pleasing, razor-sharp sound out of his ax while building excitement in his lead lines

I got to back stage with Jonny on his 21st birthday in St Louis at the Pagent and he was so humble and honest with all of us there and I'll never forget it. He is a class act and a great guitar player and singer! You rocked it my man. Thanks for letting me enjoy the moment with you my man!! You are the greatest Jonny!
Wow. You rocked your world that night. WTG GIRL !! ONCE IT STARTS ..IT DON'T STOP...I MET A FAMOUS PERSON AND WAS HOOKED...SO, I MET ABOUT 50 FAMOUS PEOPLE..
Johnny Lang , best artist of the year for the lie to me album , period ! At 16 years old to manifest this kind of creativity and soul connection is phenomenal and near impossible ! Thank you Johnny and long life to you , you’ve touched the hearts of the most sensitive people in the music world and we love you!
Still great after all these years. Imagine being 17 years old, playing an unbelievable set, and the whisky bar owner saying, "Great set. Still can't serve you for 4 years!"
He came out of the womb with the blues! I've seen him twice in concert, and he was fantastic. The fact that he's toured with people like B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Aerosmith and the Stones when he was still a teenager tells you everything you need to know about him.
Great music, As a local native to his town, there's never been a good thing said about him. However he will wave at you and I think he just wants to live his own.
He is one of the most underrated blues artists. I discovered him and this song about 6 years ago and couldn't believe the talent behind this 17 year old. Timeless! His passion is as strong as his vocals, and I've made him a staple in my Playlist. I hope to see him live one day. 🙏 ❤❤❤ 🙏
@spongebobsquaretits I have heard of him actually. However, another underrated artist where I'm from. Well, Mr. SBST, I just have to admit I'm living in the wrong state. I hope to do something about that sooner rather than later. 😉 Thank you for the reminder of another gem artist. It's been a minute with my broad taste in music.
Just discovered this young man a couple of months ago and now have all his cds and am a forever fan. Damn! There is still hope for new generations!!! This guy has it going on for sure!!
He sounds like Joe Cocker. Once Boloxi, I heard my name called over the mic and this voice says I'm gonna do this song for my girlfriend Jackie... When I could finally see who it was, it was my boyfriend. With the mic and while he sang sounded just like Joe Cocker !! Oh BTW he sang::: "you are so beautiful"
I was at a college bar in Winona, MN in 1996 playing pool when this young punk jumps up on the pool table with an electric guitar and starts jamming to us. I couldn't believe it. He couldn't have been 15 years old at the time. So much natural talent.
White boys CAN plays the blues! Some people listen to great music ( Buddy Guy, B.B. King etc.) get inspired and do what they do. Jonny is a great musician. Hope he’s living his life to his best!
SO lucky I got to see him play live. I grew up and heard my mom listen to his music. She passed away and my older sis and I were lucky enough to see him play live in Saskatoon, SK!
His voice just sucks you in. Awsome guitarist. What a breathe of fresh air that can carry the "greats". Very talented man. He loves his music, no doubt.
Blues favorite music, and JL has become one of the top feature writers, composers, singer, guitar player in the Blues industry. Put the Blues back on the map. We need more Blues festivals where you take your own chair and sit on a lawn and watch as the bands change over a weekend. Once Upon a Time in Sacramento. Need it to come back.!
I agree...it's like he's got an old soul inside a young body. I do believe in reincarnation, so... I have seen him in concert and he's just as amazing!!
Jonny opened for The Rolling Stones @ 19yrs young. First time I saw them, both of them were great!! Couldn’t believe how young he was, a massive talent!! 💗
Jonny is a classic great guitarist and blues vocalist. I love his blues and rockin tunes. This is one of my favorite CD's. Yes I still listen to those! He was amazing. I realize now he has medical issues, but who know if he will return to this genre again. One can only hope.
The first time I heard him was on a job site, stopped on my way home and bought this CD. Was I shocked when I saw that he was a young white kid!! Have loved his music since I first heard him. He was born with this incredible talent!!
Omg baby this my jam tonight love these men trying to play me I can't be fooled lie to me baby love it lie to me baby I'm going to say Jesus loves you till eternity
There is nothing better than to see a truly talented artist play and feel his music through every pore in his body! Jonny has always done this and you will always get 110% out of his music.
Lie to me and tell me everything is alright Lie to me and tell me that you're stayin' the night Tell me that you'll never leave Oh, and I'll just try to make believe that everything, everything you're tellin' me is true Come on baby won't you just (Lie to me) Come on baby (Go ahead and lie to me, woah, oh, oh, lie to me) You know how I'm sorry about it Lie to me It doesn't matter anymore It could never be The way it was before If I can't hold on to you leave me somethin' I can hold onto for just a little while won'tcha won'tcha let me dream, yeah Come on an' Oooh, anyone can see that you love him more than me but right now baby, let me pretend that our love will never end yeah, come on baby (Go ahead and lie to me) You know just what I'm talkin' about (Whoa, lie to me) Come on an' (Go ahead and lie to me) You know just what I'm talkin' about now, baby Come on an' (Oh, lie to me) Yeah, yeah baby (Go ahead and lie to me) Come on, come on, babe why don'tcha (Lie to me) Never saw it comin' (Go ahead and lie to me) Come on, I just want you to lie to me.
