I just picked up Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s (@KWShepherd‘s) new album, Live in Chicago, and it is fantastic! 17 tracks of pure blues bliss.
Kenny plays with blues legends Hubert Sumlin, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith, Bryan Lee, and fellow Shreveport, Louisiana native Buddy Fett. What I love about Kenny and this album in particular, is how he pays tribute to the blues roots. Check it out!
Be sure to get the “Special Edition” album which has three extra tracks, including Kenny’s smokin’ version of Voodoo Child (Slight Return).
Here’s Kenny talking about each song on the CD:
