Jonny Lang says his new album, “Signs” is an example of just letting an album be what it wants to be musically.
“I don’t know what will come next,” Lang said in a recent phone interview. “But yeah, this one was just the record that felt right in this season of my life.”
“Signs” is the kind of album that’s likely to please a lot of longtime fans who first heard Lang when he was in his teens and releasing the albums “Lie To Me” in 1997 and “Wander This World” a year later.
Now Lang is getting the chance to see how his new songs – as well as his lyrics – translate to live performance – something that should be fairly effortless considering his touring rhythm section of Barry Alexander on drums and Jim Anton on bass played on the album and most of the tracking was done with the musicians playing together live in the studio.
