    Long Time Coming

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 12, 2003 | 7 out of 8 found this Long Time Coming [14 Tracks] review helpful

    Pros: excellent new release from a great talent

    Cons: none

    A great new release from one of THE most talented performers out there today. Like his previous albums, this one will easily find it's way into your favorite cd rack. It's especially exciting to have the live track of Living for the City -... to give the listener a taste of what a Jonny Lang concert is really like. Part rock, part soul, part blues and a whole lot of quality music. If you're looking for another "Good morning little schoolgirl", this ain't it, this is much better. HEY, no disrespect intended, I've been a Blues FAN forever, and still am. This CD is not your grandma's blues. B.B. took it to another level, and so did Hendrix and Lenny Kravitz. Now, it's Jonny's turn. Jonny and his band pour their hearts into their performances, and this is no different. Those of us who have been fans for years find the CD title quite apropriate, as we have been patiently waiting for years for this new release. He doesn't insult the listener by cranking out cheesy, easy-to-assemble garbage, and we were happy to wait. Read more Less

    Pros: Music, band!!!!, singing!

    Cons: nothing

    I went to see Johnny Lang last night not expecting much, and I was blown away! What an awesome band. Johnny Lang is extremely talented and it shows! Best concert I have been to, and I will be at every one of his other concerts to come!

    Decent...but a little disappointed

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 16, 2003 | 1 out of 1 found this Long Time Coming [14 Tracks] review helpful

    Pros: One great song, a few good ones

    Cons: Shift from the blues influence unwelcome....by me

    I really wanted to like this album, being a Lang fan from the two previous albums. Make no mistake, he has made a genre shift from blues influenced rock to R&B/soul influenced. For starters I am a fan of "bluesrock" such as material from ...Eric Clapton and the Allmans. I am not a fan of soul music from Stevie WOnder. That being said it would be obvious that this new shift would not be appealing to me. At any rate I think also the amount of time between his last album and this one (5 years) only built the expectations to probably an unobtainable level. OK, enough of what I did not like about the album. It is decent and has one very good song (Red Light). Several others (about 3-4) are very catchy and will be listened to a lot by me. All in all though I have to be honest and say I was slightly disappointed and felt this album was not as good as previous material. Read more Less

    Longer time before I buy it....

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 15, 2003 | 2 out of 4 found this Long Time Coming [14 Tracks] review helpful

    Pros: I listened to the sample cuts BEFORE I wasted my money.

    Cons: This definitely AIN'T the "Kid" Jonny Lang & The Big Bang that debuted in Minneapolis in 1995 !!!

    I'm sorry, but I've been a fan of the "kid" since before most of the rest of the world had even heard of him. California hasn't been good for him - he's sold out to mass-appeal soft rock. What's that woman done to the b...oy, anyway ??? To hell with "smooth" - B.B. King, Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton must be having fits over this one... He sounds like Julian Lennon on Prozac for God's sake !!!I'm 46 years old, and I've been rockin' as long as I can remember (I heard The Beatles, The 'Stones, The Doors, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath the FIRST time around). This is the biggest sell-out I've seen yet !!! It even beats David Lee Roth & "I'm Just a Gigolo"...To quote the late Luther Allison, "Jonny Lang has the power to move the music into the next millennium by reaching the ears of a new generation. The great musicians have the power to break all of the 'isms' -race, age, sex, etc. Jonny Lang is one of those musicians." Luther must be spinning in his grave !!! Read more Less

    Where's The Blues?

    Pros: Previews are free

    Cons: I can't decide if Jonny has sold out or lost his gift of the blues

    For a young man that wowed the Blues world with his exceptional talent at such a young age this album is a huge step backwards.At Jonny's current rate of Blues decomposistion i'm afraid his next album will end up somewhere between a Boy band ...& Rap Crap. Read more Less

    Jonny Lang -Long Time Coming

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 8, 2003 | 1 out of 2 found this Long Time Coming [14 Tracks] review helpful

    Pros: The album is FINALLY done! His voice and playing are stronger than ever

    Cons: Would have liked to hear more blues

    I'm just glad this album is finally done! Jonny has a true gift and I will always be a faithful and devoted fan. I feel his voice and playing has gotten stronger and better in the past few years.I personally would have liked less love songs and... more upbeat blues,but I'll take anything I can get from this Northern Boy!

    Another Angle

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 22, 2005

    Pros: IT ROCKS!!

    Cons: I believe people see change as the downside...which it isnt

    Jonny Lang has evovled. Which is what music is about...I am not big on writing reviews or offering my opinion for things like this, but I feel if you only read these narrow reviews that you will be missing out. I love blues which is part of why I fel...l in love with his music in the first place, but I also love to see change in musicians,artists. Jonny lang has grown up from 13 and is continuing to do so and that is showing in his music. With growing up there will be changes but I feel nothing was left lacking. He incorporated blues because that is part of who he is but he added some rock and pop in his music and there is nothing wrong with that. He has simply evolved and I believe he evolved in a great way. You have to appreciate all sides to an artist. The lyrics are soul-touching and the music is foot-tapping good : ). Give it a try and look for yourself but expect the inevitable...change. Read more Less

    Pros: Guitar and sexy voice

    Cons: nothing

    I think that this is one of the best albums of 2003. It is so soothing and anyone that has heard it would agree. I have missed Johnny Lang since his last album and finally he has returned.I just love that kind of music and he definitly will be in my ...cd collection for years to come. Read more Less
