No Point Slowing Down contains songs from Jeff's back catalogue, including long time faves like ‘Ravenswood’ and ‘Bateman’s Bay’ and a cluster from Everything Is Still recorded live in the USA. Those who own a copy of that album will find it interesting to chart the development of superb numbers like ‘Big Feeling’ and ‘Trainwreck 49’, which take on a different dynamic when delivered solo on stage.
As those who have seen him will know, Lang is a veritable one man band, capable of putting out a wall of sound comparable to John Butler’s, but there's also great artistry in his playing. Even the more boisterous numbers are wonderfully melodic and full of light and shade. While Jeff's voice has become progressively expressive and stronger over the years, it's still hard pressed to match the huge range of his guitar playing, which is utterly mesmerising. In the ferocious "Burn That Bridge" Lang shows the strumming technique of a flamenco maestro; in "Bateman's Bay" it's all subtelty and harmonic wizardry.
