Kenny Wayne Shepherd

I love his tone, and fender will release his strat signature.


I love the Concept That for me is unique actually of his new album. Kenny Wayne made a trip of 10 days in the US to meet and play with his idols (B. B. King, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Hubert Sumlin, Pinetop Perkins, Henry Townsend, Honeyboy Edwards, Cootie Stark, Neal Pattman, and Etta Baker, Jerry "Boogie" McCain, Buddy Flett, Bryan Lee, John Dee Holeman, The Howlin' Wolf Band and thee Muddy Waters Band ).
This new release is a combo of CD/DVD. The CD is the soundtrack of the DVD Documentary. We found some compositions of the meeting bluesmen and for one time the CD is full !! 80 Minutes of pure good blues. There is a good mix between Acoustic and electric.

The DVD is very good but it’s a documentary and not a DVD Live, Of course we can see some part of the performance but necessary complete except for the last day who was a Live show on a church with the Members of the Howling Wolf band and after with the members of the Muddy Water Band.

Partial proceeds of this project are being donated to Music Maker Relief Foundation

Have you some suggests of artiste for me ?

The only bad thing about that album and DVD is: If you're a true KWS fan and you're looking to see him play... that's that the DVD for you. It's mostly a blues tribute where he lets the old guys go at it.... Which is still very cool. It's nice to see a modern blues musician try to open more minds and expose more people to the world of blues.

Kenny Wayne has been one of my fav. modern blues men for a few years now. When I'm in more of a rock mood I'll put his stuff on. I LOVE his riffage on Get It Together and Alive... He's got a more riff based blues rock style than the traditional blues style but it's still all good stuff.

Him and Joe Bonamassa should hook up at some point and cut a track.
