A leading performer in the Australian roots music scene and purveyer of his self-described "disturbed folk" style, which incorporates primarily folk, blues and rock.

He plays various types of guitar, both slide and standard, as well as banjo, mandolin, Chumbush and drums. In Addition to other awards Lang's 1996 album Native Dog Creek was named 'Best Australian Blues Album' in a Rhythms Magazine readers poll, as were his 2005 release You Have To Dig Deep To Bury Daddy and the 2006 album Dislocation Blues, a collaboration with the late Chris Whitley, while his 2002 collaboration with Bob Brozman won an ARIA award for Best Blues and Roots Music album. In 2012, Jeff was presented with the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia's National Folk Recording Award.

Just heard 'Frightened Fool' - what a GREAT song; the tempo, vibe, lyric, etc. I have never heard it before and was very impressed. Loved it. Now I will have to buy some of his stuff.

My favourite Jeff Lang instrumental, and played twice in just over a week!! I believe the correct title is "I'm Not The One Sweating Like They Just Told a Lie".
