What do you think of Kenny Wayne Shepherd?

Do you like his music? I think it is pretty good. He is an excellent guitarist.

1. Myself and some friends went to see him last month

At the brand new Cleveland House Of Blues.

This was about the 5th time for me, and I'll tell you, the man hasn't stopped evolving artistically.
He's gone from "Stevie Ray wanna be" to one of the most innovative guitar geniuses out there.

His new show (and CD) is jaw dropping good. He is even singing some of the songs himself now. (this's the first I've seen that)

If you've never seen him live, I can tell you KWS is in his milieu on a stage. The energy level doesn't wane until the third encore.
Probably the best show I saw in '04.

The only artist I saw last year that came close was Anthony Gomes.
He's another young upstart that took the blues guitar genre and ran in a completely unexpected and original direction.
If you get a chance to see either...you won't leave disappointed.

3. I would like to get the album.

The only problem is that Kid Rock is on one of the tracks.

4. KWS doesn't play blues anymore...It's all rock

He's found a niche, and he's got it down and original.
Odds are you've already heard his new single, It's getting a lot of mainstream airplay.

I wish I could remember the title....Dammit
Uhhh.. Brain.. not. working.
