Acclaimed Australian guitarist, 3-time ARIA winner, singer-songwriter and producer, Jeff Lang, today releases his brilliant new album More Life. As Jeff tells us in our interview, More Life is the culmination of three to four years of work, beginning with the concept of an album of songs co-written by Lang and some of his favourite artists.
The album More Life features songs Jeff Lang co-wrote and performed with: John Butler, Liz Stringer, Don Walker, Fred Leone, Kerri Simpson, William Crighton, Suzannah Espie, Hat Fitz & Cara and Asin Khan Langa, and includes guest appearances from Bassekou Kouyate and Debashish Bhattacharya.
It was only six months ago that we sat down for an in-depth interview with Jeff about his career as our Musician of the Month for May.
Australian Musician editor Greg Phillips was pleased to catch up with Jeff Lang again over a zoom call to chat about the creation of his new album More Life and the upcoming tour (dates below).
More life comes as both a CD and a deluxe double gatefold vinyl album with artwork by iconic US cartoonist, Jim Woodring.
