Jonny Lang Tour Dates: Jonny Lang readies new album, adds dates >> liveDaily


Lang co-wrote the 14 songs on "Turn Around" with collaborators that included Grammy winners Drew Ramsey and Shannon Sanders, as well as five-time Grammy winner Steven Curtis Chapman, who is the most awarded artist in the history of the Gospel Music Association.

"I'm very honored to have had the privilege of writing with Jonny for this record and our friendship has shown me that he's a man that's passionate about his faith as a Christian and is committed to reflecting that in his music," Chapman said in a statement.

I've admired Jonny Lang's music since I first heard him. AS a 14 year old guitar phenom, he held his own with Buddy Guy, B.B. King, and others, in fact B.B. said "if he's this good now, how good will he get?" So to hear that he's coming within easy driving distance AND to hear that this album will reflect his faith and his artistry - sweet!

Needless to say, I'll be there on Oct 27th at the Saenger Theatre.
