Lang's first solo album, The Thing at the Nursery Room Window was released in 1972 on Takoma Records.

Along with Lang, John Fahey launched the careers of other notable artists on Takoma, including Leo Kottke.

Unlike Fahey or, say, Robbie Basho, however, Lang's fingerpicking seldom uses dissonance or shows the influence of Eastern music...

Most of the pieces on Dharma Blues are self-penned and have enough bite to keep them from falling into new age sameness.
