“When an artist decides to record a song that is already a classic, it is usually because they love that song so much that they just cannot get it out of their head. This must have been the mindset of Kelly Lang when she went into the studio to record “Midnight Train To Georgia.” She did not try to outdo the original. Instead, Kelly dug deep and found something within her own soul that embraced the same emotion that she heard in the very first Gladys Knight recording. Kelly did not only glean from this classic, she reimagined her own deep emotion. Kelly’s voice is convincing and crystal clear!” – Duane Allen, Oak Ridge Boys

“Kelly Lang’s version of ‘Midnight Train to Georgia’ will take you back to when music touched our soul and will make you sway back and forth. A true classic done with love and passion.” – Judy Shields, The Hollywood Times

I am so thankful for Foxnews.com for sharing our video with their audience allowing them to slip back in time for this oldie but goodie.”
