Was it difficult for you to get the right balance between singing and guitar in an album like this? I’ve had a chance to hear “Signs." Love the album. You have to ask your mom about the other stuff.’"

I just told them, ‘If you end up not doing music, I don’t think I’ll be able to help you because I don’t know how to do anything else. If they want to play, sing, or not or whatever, man. If they don’t like music, that’s cool too. I just want them to love music, whatever kind of music they like is cool. Having those things in my head kind of worked against me a little bit. I used to make all those distinctions and try to apply them to myself and my career. I’ve tried to not tell them, ‘OK, this is what you’re listening to’ and ‘This is the genre of music that you’re listening to right now.’ I don’t know if I want to be the one to build those distinctions, you know? I kind of let them do that on their own, because I’ve found for me later in life that music is just kind of music, man. They don’t give much thought to what the style is. So what kind of music do your kids listen to? Are they into blues? That feeling is the same, no matter who it is."
I find it’s pretty much every different style of music I’ve ever heard, I feel inspired by some artist in that style. I get inspired by what I get inspired by. "If I were to give you a list of 50 songs that are my favorite songs, and you were to distinguish those into their respective genres, they’d be all over the place. I’m real lucky to be able to have family and to do what I do."ĭo you lean more toward blues or toward rock, or does it just depend on what you want to do? She kind of holds the whole thing together. Fortunately, my wife is basically a superhero when it comes to our family and her role in our family. I just try to make the most of the time that I do have when I’m with them. But the catch is you’ve got to be away from them most of the time to do it. I get to make a living at it and support my family doing it. It’s the only downside to the whole thing, because I love what I do.
"I’ve found that there really isn’t a balance to be had, you know. What’s it been like doing all the touring that this kind of life requires and home life as well? How do you keep the balance between them? One of the things that’s changed for you is that you have a family of your own now. When I think back, 20 is just like a big number for that amount of time." "In some ways it does, and in some ways it doesn’t. Lang took some time to answer a few questions ahead of his Montgomery show:ĭoes it really feel like more than 20 years have passed by since "Lie to Me" came out? King, and Buddy Guy, who he still tours with. Lang has had the opportunity to play with the likes of the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, B.B. They’re available at or the MPAC box office. That tour makes a stop this Saturday at the Montgomery Performing Arts Centre. Lang’s latest album is 2017’s “Signs,” which he’s currently on a world tour for. He won a Grammy for “Turn Around” in 2006 in the rock/rap gospel category.
He’s released six more albums since then that range in influence from blues and rock to R&B and contemporary gospel. 1 on the charts with his platinum album “Lie to Me” in 1997. Lang learned to play guitar at age 12, and just three years later found himself sitting at No. Lang is still a young man (he just turned 37 in January), but has been in the business a long time.
"It’s my favorite thing to do, and it’s pretty cool,” “I can’t wait to go there and share some music with everybody,” said blues and rock singer and guitarist Jonny Lang, who is making his way into Montgomery for a visit this weekend.
