Lie to Me (1997)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Lead Performance: Jonny Lang; Genre: Blues

The ripe, vibrant voice of contemporary blues singer and guitarist Jonny Lang is so compelling, it would be an exceptional major-label debut even if he weren't only 16. Although the pacing isn't as varied as it could be, Lang's choice of strong new songs on Lie to Me (the ardent title track and wistful ''Missing Your Love,'' which he cowrote) suggests a savviness beyond his years.
