Long before there existed a category called “singer-songwriter” Don Lange was a singer-songwriter. A Twin Cities DJ with a drive time radio show, a guy named Garrison Keillor, played his songs. His tunes have been sung and recorded by the likes of Pete Seeger, Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl, Christy Moore, John Gorka, Gordon Bok, Pricilla Herdman, The Cache Valley Drifters, Kate Wolf, and many others. He recorded three albums for the original Flying Fish Record Company and won a songwriting grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Daily Texan, in Austin, probably said it best, “Like most songwriters, Don Lange has a lot to say. Unlike most, he has the faculty to say it.” He is, simply, the finest songwriter to make great new world Pinot noir and the best winemaker to ever write great songs. Buy the CD and enjoy it with a fine bottle of Lange’s Oregon Pinot noir!

Comfortable, profound, very human.....

Listening to "A Change in the Air" is not unlike sitting on the deck with an old friend, playing a guitar, swapping stories, and, in the process, seeing what really matters after all this time. Songs vary in pace and tempo, shuttle between playfulness ("Darcy's Got a Coup de Ville", subliminated grief ("The Wall"), and righteous outrage ("Strange Gumbo") but in the end we feel Don Lange's wisdom. We hear the dignity and strength of his words, delivered without a whole lot of embellishment. He lays it out there for us, and it is up to us to listen to it, to absorb the melodies, to embrace the words and their images, and, in the end, to continue to learn what it means to be human.

Received both CD's. Love the lyrics, love the music, love the voice. They have alternated between the car and the home stereo since I picked them up in the mail. Thanks for the memories.
