When talking about young and talented guitarists, a man who should be mentioned in that conversation is Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Shepherd is an amazing talent that broke onto the scene back in 1995 with his debut album Ledbetter Heights,which subsequently went platinum. He holds the record for the longest running album on Billboards Blues Charts with 1997s Trouble Is His newest effort, Live in Chicago, was released on 9/28/2010 and Backstageaxxess.com talked to him about his need to do a live album.
Currently KWS has been on tour with Experience Hendrix and has been ripping it up and stealing the show on most nights with his amazing renditions of various Hendrix tunes. We also asked him about how he got involved with this tour and his thoughts on playing Jimis original Fender Stratocaster which was used at Woodstock.
Backstageaxxess.com gives you an inside look at one of the most exceptional guitar talents around, Mr. Kenny Wayne Shepherd.
We would like to thank Kristin Forbes from Shepherd Entertainment for setting up the interview with KWS. For more information on him or the new CD, please go to: http://www.kennywayneshepherd
