Crazy...Ronnie Lang and Friends - a guitar compilation

When I first started this project, I had no idea that I would make a full length CD. In my mind I thought I would record a few songs, tweak them a little, and make a few copies for close friends. Well, that idea went out the window and what you have is Ronnie Lang and some of his very talented “friends”. Please listen and enjoy.

I would like to dedicate this CD to my family: Becky, Aaron, Rebecca, Andrew, Caitlyn, Christa, Summer, Brandon, Amanda, Jacob, Chaya, Marley, Papa, Grandma, and UB. You all mean so very much to me and you are all somewhere in at least one of my songs.

I would also like to thank each of the artists that gave so freely of their time and were kind enough to contribute their songs for this project. You are all awesome artists and great “friends”. This project would have been much less without each of your contributions. Thanks also to Glen Pridgen for allowing me to record “Walk Don’t Run”. I know this song is very personal to you and you have blessed me beyond belief by allowing me to intrepret it my way. Ollie and Darlene, you guys blow me away. What a privilege to have your amazing talents represented here. Thanks to the Randels – Mike, Bronwyn, Mick, Kate and Jesse for all of those weekends. A special thanks to Swede and Jen at www.fatcatradio.com. You guys are doing so much for Indie music. Jim, what can I say, you are simply the best musician, friend, co-producer and engineer that a person could have. This project would never have happened without your time and energy. You are the “Chief Musician”.
