Long Time Coming is a studio album by Jonny Lang.[5][6] It was recorded at MF Studio and The Attic, Monrovia, California, and released on October 14, 2003. The album had been a "long time coming," with five years passing since the release of Wander This World.

Lang incorporated more R&B influences into his overall musical style, without neglecting his love for the blues. The album has more rock-elements compared to his previous work, and features one ballad with beat and arrangement comparable to modern R&B/Pop ("Touch"). One of the songs is a cover of Edgar Winter's "Dying to Live." The album also features Aerosmith's Steven Tyler on "Happiness and Misery," where he plays the harmonica.

The album peaked at #17 on the Billboard 200 album chart.[7]
