Every once in a while, an artist comes along that blows me away…grabs me with their extraordinary talent and I cannot get enough of them. That describes this week’s artist from Fargo, ND (although I like to consider him from Minneapolis – that's where his band and first album release is from). His voice is rich like none other and his guitar solos are smokin’, which also happens to be the name of his first album.

Two tracks from Jonny Lang’s most recent CD Turn Around are today’s Friday Favorites. “One Person At A Time” is a great climb at 60 rpm’s, 3:03. The lyrics are great, Jonny’s voice is gravelly and he rocks the guitar as usual. Here is a live video from the Des Moines Rib Fest, but his studio track is much better:

I then roll right into “The Other Side of the Fence”, which is the next track. At 80 rpm’s, I ask my riders to hold the resistance/load they had while they were climbing to “One Person At A Time” and go anaerobic for approximately 3 minutes. The song is 3:04. Here is another live video, and again, the studio track is much better and the CD is well worth the money! I hope you love this guy because I will be featuring him again down the line. He is just so good and started the music scene at age 15.

Who said the Midwest doesn’t make Blues musicians?

And here is an excellent edit of Jonny Lang and Michael McDonald singing Thankful
