Jay Lang is a Mississippi native who grew up in the Delta, where he attended many local blues festivals featuring the Piedmont and Delta styled blues. T-Model Ford was an early influence. Later he moved to Oxford, Mississippi where he played with members of the Burnside family and started his first band, Jay Lang & The Devils Due. Jay has since moved to Wisconsin, but his focus is still on the music he grew up listening to and playing. This is his third album release.
The album grew out of the pandemic. During his downtime, he reviewed his backlog of unrecorded songs and determined the time was right to do an acoustic record. The album consists of ten original songs and one cover. Jay plays guitar and bass on most cuts along with providing all vocals. He is joined on some cuts by Paul Taylor or Brad Porter on drums, Harold Tremblay on harmonica, Eric Carlton on piano, Bob Dowell on trombone on one track, and with Nate Robbins playing bass on tracks 8 & 10.
Jay is a talented songwriter with some interesting stories to tell, all of which just adds to his warm vocals and intriguing acoustic and slide guitar work. While his solo efforts stand out, his band’s performers provide an added range and edge to every song, each of which are clearly from the Delta. /John Sacksteder, Blues Blast Magazine
