Review

Dirty Linen (p.52) - "[With] full songs on the segments with both the Muddy Waters Band and Howlin' Wolf's outfit, and they are excellent....[The CD does] a good job of mixing up the music and presenting many facets of the blues, interspersing electric and acoustic music..."
Living Blues (p.36) - "[A] tour de force of jams and stories from artists you know and ones you need to know on this documentary CD..."

Title Note

Personnel: Kenny Wayne Shepherd (vocals, guitar); Tommy Shannon (bass guitar); Chris Layton (drums); Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Cootie Stark, Etta Baker, George "Wild Child" Butler, Henry Gray, Henry Townsend, Hubert Sumlin, Jerry "Boogie" McCain, John Dee Holeman, Muddy Waters Band, Neal Pattman, Pinetop Perkins, B.B. King, Bryan Lee, Buddy Flett.

More than a mere live album, this collection of impromptu performances, recorded at both established venues and in kitchens and on front porches throughout the American South, captures a rapidly vanishing generation of bluesmen and women singing and playing with the blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his Double Trouble rhythm section. Featuring well-known artists such as B.B. King and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, as well as lesser-known performers such as Wild Child Butler and Cootie Stark, this combination CD and DVD is both a tribute to and a record of the musicians who influenced Shepherd, and a chance to observe the art form that laid the foundations for much of modern music. Often supported only by Shepherd's acoustic guitar, artists of the caliber of Cootie Stark, whose "Prison Blues" is a highlight, and the pianist Pinetop Perkins, whose "Grindin' Man" is accompanied by Muddy Waters' band, exude a matter-of-fact mastery born of decades of hard-won experience.

5 out of 5 stars Musical appreicaition beyond the Blues, June 15, 2008
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.
