Jeff Lang- New CD
Jeff Lang has new CD out, "You have to dig deep to bury daddy".
I've only heard one track-"And all the snow melted".
Beautiful song, slow and spooky, with some great melodious slide playing.
I seen Jeff play live a few years back, and it was like, OK, how fast can I pick? I didn't enjoy the show, even though I like fast picking, his playing just did nothing for me.
I changed my mind after recently hearing his live album "No point slowing down".
He's a very talented guitarist, and has obviously put in an incredible amount of effort to get so good.
In fact, he's probably one of the most talented slide guitarists I've heard.
"No point slowing down", has some exceptional slide playing, and has a classy laid back feel that is great to chill out to.
He mixes a few different styles of slide playing to come up with a unique flavour; sort of newage blues with a hint of curry.
His vocals are good, but I'd prefer to listen to the music minus the singing; but hey, if you want great singing just listen to Englebert Humperdinck!
He very nearly rivals Tommy as one of Australia's greatest guitarists.
I'd rather a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
