Jonny Lang has the power to move the music into the next millennium by reaching the ears of a new generation. The great musicians have the power to break all of the 'isms'-race, age, sex, et cetera. Jonny Lang is one of those musicians.

I've been waiting for that bright sunshine to show up and shine in my back door someday.

I want to play in a place people want to hear me.

The blues is the foundation, and it's got to carry the top. The other part of the scene, the rock 'n' roll and the jazz, are the walls of the blues.

I have as much input to the blues; I just never got the chance, the opportunity or maybe the respect.

What I want to do, is play music for somebody who believe in me.

Before I left, I opened a lot of doors for a lot of people to play the blues.
