In 1997, at the age of 15, he released his major-label debut, 'Lie to Me'. Though it picked up mixed critical reviews, the album served as a commercial breakthrough, with single "Lie to Me" particularly receiving much airplay and earning the #12 slot on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. That blues rock track continues to be beloved by Lang's fan-base.
Lang followed with 'Wander This World', released on October 20, 1998. Broadening his sound somewhat with influences from classic soul and modern rock, the release experienced widespread success. His singles, "Wander This World" and "Still Rainin'", did particularly well, the latter tune reaching the #8 slot on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.
Several releases and constant touring later, Lang's latest work is 'Fight For My Soul', released on September 2, 2013. The album has received critical acclaim from publications such has Allmusic, with the reviewers remarking that Lang "dives headfirst into classic soul and R&B, its elastic, funky grooves allowing the guitarist plenty of space to solo". It also hit the #20 slot on Billboard's 'Top Rock Albums' chart, selling extremely well.
Part of his success has been due to a voice that sounds somewhat like that of a 40-year-old blues veteran, containing what fans have seen as a harshness tempered by a fine falsetto that has taken prominence in his newest albums. Another part of his success is his scorching, electrifying guitar solos, which display a prodigious natural talent honed by years of practice and playing. Whatever the secret to his success, the youngster has quickly become a fixture in the blues world, drawing crowds wherever he goes.
Lang has drawn deeply from the wellspring of influences from the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, Luther Allison, and Albert Collins. Many blues artists have also been encouraged to pick up the guitar from his example. As he becomes more confident in his role as a musical veteran instead of a boy wonder, one can see the possibilities he has yet to share with his fans.
06-Back For A Taste Of Your Love
Jonny Lang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm coming for a taste of your love.
Here I come, baby
Because I like what you do for me.
Little by little, bit by bit.
I'm falling in love all over again.
I'm coming for a taste of your love
Here I come now, baby
just like I did before.
And I'm coming back
'Cause this time I'm sure.
It takes two, to make it
And I know you can take it, again.
Here I come
I'm back for a taste of your Love.
Here I come
I'm coming back for you now.
What you've been
Just come down on me.
You've got the lock, pretty baby
but I've got the key.
Little by little, bit by bit
I'm falling in Love all over again.
Here I come
I'm coming for a taste of your love
Here I come now baby,
I'm back for a taste of your love.
You know, I'm coming back for a taste of your love
You know, I've got to come back now baby.
The lyrics of Jonny Lang's "A Taste of Your Love" describe the singer's desire to be in a romantic relationship with someone they are deeply infatuated with. The opening lines, "Here I come / I'm coming for a taste of your love" indicate the singer's eagerness to pursue this person and see where their chemistry leads. The repetition of the phrase "here I come" suggests the singer is confident in their feelings and their willingness to pursue this person.
The chorus, which is also the title of the song, reinforces this pursuit: "Here I come / I'm back for a taste of your love." The phrase "back for a taste" implies the singer has experienced this person's love before and wants to rekindle that feeling. The line "What you've been / Just come down on me" implies that the person's love has affected the singer deeply, to the point where they can't resist the pull of it.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that a relationship takes effort from both parties: "It takes two, to make it / And I know you can take it, again." The singer is aware that a successful relationship takes work and expresses their confidence that the person they're pursuing is capable of putting in that effort.
Overall, "A Taste of Your Love" is about the thrill of pursuing someone you're deeply attracted to and the willingness to put in the effort required for a successful relationship.

Heard this song on the radio 23 years ago. Told my husband, get that cd! Expecting an old black guy on the cover 😂. A 17 year old white kid from ND!!! was killing the blues. Life lesson.... try not to pre judge. Still love the song.
