By smacklby
This album is awesome! But, if you do not appreciate the Blues, and the essence
of what todays Rock n Roll should be, then you would unfortunately be incapable
of fully appreciating this album. There are few modern day musicians who really
get what music is about, who understand the essence of Rock n Roll, Rock ‘n Roll
with any substance and composition is an extension of the Blues (in the words of
Eric Clapton, I believe). Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Johnny Lang are the only
modern day musicians who really get it. While they may not be the best guitar
soloists of our time, what good are even the best guitar solos, when they exist
within a song with no substance? Music isnt about the best guitar solo,
although I love listening to guitars sing, it’s about composition of musical
harmony. This album isnt really much about Kenny Wayne Shepherd. But it’s
rather a tribute to some of the best Blues musicians of this century it’s about
the musicians who have and continue to inspire the musical aspirations of Kenny,
and hopefully many more modern musicians. Kenny is not the solo guitar soloist
on this album, only a small, but integral one among some of the best Blues
guitarist of all time! As for Johnny Lang, I hope he finds his Blues riffs
again on his next album. There is nothing wrong with finding Religion and
Faith. There are a lot of uplifting songs on his last album. But, Johnny can
make a guitar sing, and his Faith should never get in the way of that, lest it
be the wrong Faith. Kenny’s latest gets my 5 Stars.

Unfortunately Shepherd is lacking in a couple of areas that make this album rub
me the wrong way. Hell never be a legend, but then again how many really are.
For an average blues musician this album has some meat to it.
