Sure, he’s been in touch before, speaking often with his guitar in the language of deep blues and searing rock & roll.
But Turn Around is different. The guitar is still there, whispering sometimes, occasionally even screaming. Now, though, it’s just one voice in a chorus of sounds – the tight band, the passionate singing, and lyrics that conjure beauty as well as pain and speak the truth, all at the same time.
The Grammy winning, former prodigy instrumentalist, who topped the Billboard New Artist chart with his first album at age 15, stands now as a mature creative force, made more sensitive yet also toughened by life’s adventures. He’s learned what it means to rise above hard times and to find meaning where chaos seemed to rule.
These insights, and the emotions they unleash, makes Turn Around the pivotal album of Jonny Lang’s career to date – a passage that links the triumphs of his past to the promise of his future.
