Option One: Read this amazing review of last night's Jonny Lang show, published in the Edmonton Sun today. (Oh, yeah, Jonny and that other dude he was playing with. Wink!)

Option Two: If you're too lazy to read that (which I totally understand, by the way), read these highlights:
"...on a whole other level. He was just jaw-dropping, blitheringly amazing."
"...beyond intense. His vocals weren’t just soulful, they were anguished."
"His guitar solos came from another dimension, and you could tell he felt each and every note with his entire body, not just his “guitar face,” one of the best guitar faces in show business." (OHHHH that guitar face... youtube 'Jonny Lang guitar solos' for some hilariously awesome ones, aside from the ones I've included!)
"... incredible falsetto."
"...never an insincere or clichéd moment..."
"...a formidable presence, proving himself a consummate artist and showman."
"Hey, if God can forgive anything, He certainly can forgive Jonny Lang for so thoroughly upstaging the headliner."
Insert squee here! Ha! (To be fair, Buddy Guy is a serious blues legend and he did fabulously too. But anyways, back to Jonny...)
I love it when my Jonny boy gets the credit he deserves! In fact, truly talented musicians rarely get the credit they deserve! So here's your third option: Go and pick out some lesser-known bands at your local record store and buy their albums! Destroy all your Katy Perry tunes, kids. Time to hear some real music.
LOVE a man in plaid {or a t-shirt}, jeans and Converse... add a guitar to that and Hessie needs to take a cold shower...
Having a great week so far! Hope yours is going just as awesome as mine! :)
