With good reason: On just the second show on the European leg of the Signs tour, he had blown the roof off. At goodbye, Lang couldnвЂ™t keep from showing off those prominent pearly whites of his. The mood shifted from wistful to ecstatic again when the band returned to take the final song home. IвЂ™d be shocked if there werenвЂ™t a few misty eyes in the house. This group of top-notch players ceded the stage to Lang as he finished the show with his acoustic medley of вЂњBreakinвЂ™ MeвЂќ and вЂњLie To MeвЂќ вЂ“ a compelling performance that showed just how much he has matured in the past two decades. Drummer Barry Alexander, bassist James Anton, keyboarder Dwan Hill and second guitarist Zane Carney each had their moment to shine. New: вЂњSnakes,вЂќ вЂњLast Man Standing,вЂќ a gentle вЂњBring Me Back Home.вЂќД«orrowed: Stevie WonderвЂ™s вЂњLiving For The City,вЂќ Muddy WatersвЂ™ вЂњForty Days and Forty Nights.вЂќД«lue: Everything! Lang inhabited each song as if his life depended on it, leaving no doubt that he is the blues, even when heвЂ™s not playing the blues.ДЄnd it wasnвЂ™t just Lang. Old: вЂњA Quitter Never Wins,вЂќ вЂњRed Light,вЂќ the swinging вЂњRack вЂ™em Up.вЂќ Some more newbies were still to come, along with staples from his back catalog and a few well-placed covers in a thrilling two-hour set that mixed the old, new, borrowed and blue. Chunky, hoochie-coochie style guitar blues. Lang and his able four-piece followed up the funky вЂњDonвЂ™t StopвЂќ with the title song from Signs. His lean, sharply contoured guitar playing dazzled at every turn. Like the ferocious rendition of вЂњDonвЂ™t Stop (For Anything)вЂќ with which Lang opened his show at the Gloria theater in Cologne.ДЇrom the start, he was in outstanding form vocally, fully engaged and putting every fiber of his body into the performance. Much of Signs is raw, edgy and guitar-driven. With the arrival of his latest album Signs, the 36-year-old singer and guitarist appears to have reconnected with his blues roots. Disappointingly, a handful of songs have caused many blues fans to turn away from Lang since he took the scene by storm as a teenager in the mid-1990s, though he remains one of the most commercially successful blues artists of recent years. Depending on which producer happened to have his hands on the faders, it has led to the odd saccharine moment over the course of his recording career. But theyвЂ™re often colored by soul, gospel, rock, modern R&B and pop. The next time I hear someone knock Jonny Lang for being not gritty or gutty or bluesy enough, I am going to whack him upside the head.Д«ut maybe it would be smarter to send them to the nearest Jonny Lang concert, where the evidence will surely speak for itself вЂ“ as it did on this colossally beautiful October evening in Cologne.Дo LangвЂ™s songs conform to the standard twelve-bar blues, 1-4-5 format?

One day, I heard the song from.Jonny Lang's album. that I am now driving because, of a wheel chair.

When some one, or something comes along thatвЂ™s helps you do is god. But a quitter never wins Well, you've walked out on our lovin' But I've stayed through thick and thin And you know our love is on and off again I know you want to quit me But a quitter never wins Seems like now days love is a word that no one means Ya said you'd never leave me Then ya upped and walked right out on me And now our love is on and. I have to find my love ones and make sure that they are at peace. I have opened the door and stepped in to a room in which that door behind me has been shut. I lost my mother and my son.and am now caring for a brother, with cerebral palsy.I have learned that this is the real stuff.

Jonny lang a quitter never wins
