"...it's the voice that transcends the years - pure, honest, uncompromising, true..."

Penny Lang

"An incredible record. I totally get her now – the communication, the vulnerability. The arrangements are stunning – a world class package. I really, really, really, really like it!"
–Larry LeBlanc
Canadian Bureau Chief, Billboard


"Lang’s vocal depth and projection enhanced by her flawless interpretation of the song message borders on being of divine right as she attracts the listener to her inner sanctum.."
–Walt Grealis
RPM Weekly


"One of Canada’s undeniable treasures."
–Montréal International Jazz Festival

"Most of us never get the chance to turn back the clock; many wouldn't want to even if it were possible.

Fortunately for those who enjoy music that defies the tarnish of time, Montreal's Penny lang has put together a collection of 16 songs spanning 15 years, from 1963 through 1978.

Gather Honey brings together previously unreleased material (both live and studio recordings) beginning with the first recording a a Leadbelly tune she cut when she was a 21 -year-old secretary at the YMCA who just happened to possess a voice to die for.

Lang had a great ear from the get-go, as is indicated by the songs she covered from the pens of Bonnie Raitt, Buffy Ste.-Marie and Janis Ian, not to mention many important songwriters of the day including Bruce Murdoch, Chris Kearney, Paul Lauzon and Chris Rawlings. Although she has never been a prolific writer, an early original, Senses of Your Life, is also included.

But it's the voice that transcend the years - pure, honest, uncompromising, true - whether alone with guitar or in the company of other musicians."
-Robert Reid, Roots Music
Nightlife, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph
