It's been seven years since Jonny Lang released a new studio album but the wait ends on September 17 as Lang releases Fight For My Soul as the follow up to his 2006 Grammy Award-winning album Turn Around.
Fans can preview the entire album beginning today via The Wall Street Journal!
"This particular record has taken quite a long time to finish for a lot
of different reasons," Lang remarked. "Most of all, I started a family a
few years back. Between family time and being out on the road, I really
had to pick my spots to fit in recording."
Over a period of three years, Lang collaborated with producer/songwriter
Tommy Sims (who co-wrote Eric Clapton's GRAMMY-winning "Change the
World") crafting the album's elegant rock 'n' soul tracks from the
ground up.
"This album is something I've been wanting to do for a long time,"
offers Lang. "Some of these songs may surprise people, but that's what
it's all about. It keeps it fresh, and it keeps me growing.
Creatively, I think there is a lot more going on inside of me than I've
been sharing on record so far. Much of what I've experienced through
music and life in general is in these songs."
Since the release of his 1997 major label debut "Lie To Me", the then 16
year-old Lang has built a reputation as one of the best live performers
and guitarists of his generation. Jonny Lang will be on the road
leading up to and beyond the release date of Fight For My Soul.
In addition to a full North American tour schedule, in October Lang
will embark on his first extended European tour in over a decade.
