How many of you here have ever listened to Kenny Wayne Shepherd?

[coloradodem2005]

I think he is a pretty good guitar player, influenced by the blues greats like B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. I own a couple of his albums. Trouble Is... and Live On. He appearently released a new album earlier this month. I actually like the sound. It sounds like Lenny Kravitz. Though, it is a let down, because it got away from his more bluesy music that I really liked.

1. I got to see him live with BB King ... He's awesome

:headbang: I have his fist CD with blue on black .
I'll have to check out the new one .

2. I had exactly the same reaction to Johnny Lang's new CD

OK, but he got away from his blues roots more than I would like. Kenny Wayne is good, but not in the same league as Jimi and SRV.

3. I've met him, seen him perform..

I love the guy, helluva nice guy in person too. It was during a G3 tour he was with Satriani and Vai.

He let me and my buddies watch him rehearse.

I too though perfer Ledbetter Heights and Trouble Is overall.

4. Yup, he's pretty good

5. He is ahead of his time - we love him!

6. Inoffensive enough...

Influenced by, but not nearly as good as any of the above... Better than most of the teen angst / Blink 182 shit out there these days.

7. Yeah. I've seen him live several times.

Saw him on the G3 tour with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Also saw him opening for Van Halen. He's a good blues guitarist, and still pretty young and bound to get even better. I've never heard him do non-blues stuff.

8. Saw him live at a small theater, front row seats in 1997 or '98.

He one smokin' guitar player.

10. He'll improve with age.

Don't get me wrong--he's good right now--but when he's done a bit more living he's gonna be a lot better blues player. Hendrix and SRV both had walked some pretty dark streets by the time they hit their stride. I hope it doesn't take that for this kid.
