"Dave Lang has lived all over this fine country, from Inuvik to Victoria to [Saskatchewan] (which he now calls home), and has in the process discovered a vision of Canadiana that has eluded most Canadian musicians. Stompin' Tom lived it in the 50's and 60's... Lang has the 21st Century version. It's amazing how much it has changed, and how much it has stayed the same."

"Dave Lang’s songs capture the complexity of relationships with catchiness and wit while delving into the lesser-known elements of small town life. The [Saskatchewan] based singer-songwriter seems to be most comfortable trolling around in the murk of the human heart."

"Dave Lang writes perfect songs. He's a master storyteller with a sly, incisive wit. I've seen him about 20 times and it's always great."
12345- Geoff Berner
"Not only are the songs as humourous as they are rocking, but he is also an amazing showman - whether solo with an acoustic guitar or with an ace backing band."

"Straight outta nowhere, seemingly heard by almost nobody – although perhaps not for long – comes [Saskatchewan''s] Dave Lang..."
12345- Rick Overwater, FFWD Magazine
"This is a rootsy music that is like an overfilled glass of beer. It slops around and spills but tastes good."

"Lang proves himself a committed smart-ass on "Live And In Quonset", a studio album recorded with drummer Garth Johnson and Carolyn Mark sideman Tolan McNeil. In the tradition of Dean and Gene Ween, the singer and guitarist mixes and matches musical genres with impish abandon, dabbling in sweeter-than-Sweet glam, loping alt-country, CBGB-indebted punk, heartland rock, and thunderstruck metal. Lyrically, Lang understands that there’s a fine line between clever and overly cute, and he keeps on the right side of it with Kids In The Hall-calibre offerings like “Just because I never said that I love you don’t mean I’d be happier, if you was dead.”

"[Becky Is A Farmer] is the Canadian version of "Judy Is A Punk!"
12345- Andrea Hunter, CBC Radio One
"..the best album to never come out of the 70's...Trust us, you'll need this album in the summer for spur of the moment road trips, drunken camping fiascoes and just sittin' in the back yard crankin' your music and annoying the neighbours."
12345- Andrew Pearson, Red Cat Records
"Dave Lang's brand of roots, folk, rock and country is always fun and sometimes very funny, but quick wit and jocularity seem never to detract from some excellent songwriting."
12345- Gerry Krochak, Regina Leader-Post
"Live And In Quonset grabs you in a friendly way, and bids you to sit down with beer(s) in hand, digging the raw vibes and hip humourous songwriting."
12345- Dean Gordon-Smith, Vernon Morning Star
"Lang's "Live And In Quonset" shows a magpie sensibility, a clever thief borrowing licks and feels from the nests of the musical great birds - there are echoes of Bruce Springsteen, The Who, Adam Sandler, ZZ Top, all done with a twist."
