Review: Jonny Lang’s Turn Around
If you’re reading this review here at BluesRow, you’re probably a blues fan. You’re familiar
with Lang’s blazing blues guitar stylings and his bursting onto the scene at age 15. Well, it’s about 10 years later, and if you haven’t been following his career, Lang has taken a few steps away from the blues. This album pretty much buries the blues past.
I’ve got no problem with artists’ right to “grow”; hey, they’ve got to follow their muse. Lang’s muse has led him from blues to R&B, soul, funk, and on this record, gospel. He’s obviously had a religious change in his life (hence the album title), and he’s certainly welcome to it. Most of the songs on the album deal with spiritual themes with a touch of social commentary. The production is smooth; some, like me, might consider it overproduced. But most of the songs have a definite groove, and the album covers everything from acoustic bluesy folk to soul to funkified gospel rave-ups.
In short, if you’re a Jonny Lang fan and are in it for the long haul, you’ll probably like Turn Around. If you’re a fan of blues guitar, you’ll be disappointed. He’s definitely left the blues behind.
