Peter LangPioneering American Primitive guitarist Peter Lang is back with a new album and a CD release party at The Cedar! Peter Lang: Live at Charlotte's Web is a marvelous 2 CD plus DVD package that is a must have for Lang fans and fans of guitar music in general. The CDs are archival recordings from the late 70s and represent some of Peter's best tracks of early original material. The DVD is a live concert performance featuring Lang and fellow Takoma records label mate Michael Gulezian.

Grammy-nominated artist Peter Lang was discovered and recorded in 1972 by the legendary guitarist John Fahey who signed Lang to his own label, Takoma Records. Fahey launched the careers of other notable artists on Takoma, including Leo Kottke, George Winston, Robbie Basho, Bola Sete and others. Peter Lang toured, recorded and performed for nearly ten years, developing a reputation as one of the nations top acoustic players. In the 70’s he was in good company, having recorded or performed with Ry Cooder, John Fahey, Jerry Garcia, Chet Atkins, John Hartford, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Emmylou Harris, Leo Kottke, Freddie King, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, John Hammond, Keith Jarrett, Phoebe Snow, Maria Muldaur, The Yellowjackets, Robben Ford, and many others.

"Lang is still firmly rooted in the 60s/70's John Fahey/Leo Kottke blues/folk/Americana styling that he helped pioneer, and it is certainly refreshing to hear it being played this well by one of the old masters" Dirty Linen, May 2002
