Le Soleil, Quebec
“Jeff Lang is, in my humble opinion, a national treasure, a truly gifted songwriter and an outstanding guitarist. He has been inspiration to countless Australian and internationally renowned roots artists and surely has a place in history as one of this generation’s finest.
He has really touched me and musically, I had a kind of revelation…”
John Butler, John Butler Trio
“We’re treated to moody atmospheric textures, ripping electric lap-steel riffs, delicate acoustic picking, trippy backwards leads, oddball percussion, throbbing tremolo, and unconventional lyrics – all of which Lang blends like some crazed sonic alchemist. “
Andy Ellis, Guitar Player Magazine, USA
Leo B. Jahn, is a German and yet truly Chinese, he likes to port German songs into Chinese versions for friends. His own compositions feature witful German humor and reveal romantism. Humble singing simply accompanied by piano and yet rich in expression, the songs will take you into a foreign and yet familiar realm of music.
