Jonny Lang in session
Jonny Lang joins Paul for a rare live session, featuring songs from his new album Fight for My Soul.
It's been seven years since blues sensation Jonny Lang had a studio album out, but that changes today with the release of "Fight For My Soul".
The former teen sensation joins Paul in the studio to discuss his career and to play live acoustic versions of some of the songs on it.
Sixteen years ago, at the age of 16, Jonny Lang found incredible success with the release of his major label debut album Lie To Me. He grew up as a country farm boy from Fargo, ND who got his start in the local clubs of Minneapolis.
Lang shares, "The inspiration for the songs on the new record vary widely. Some are about personal struggles, some are focused on injustices I have seen. Some are random fictional stories that hopefully can relate to people in some way that is a blessing to them. I've wanted to make this album for a long time. Creatively, I think there is a lot more going on inside of me than I've been sharing on recordings. Much of what I've experienced through music and life in general is in these songs. I really like reaching out and connecting with people. For me, this is what it's all about.".
