Inside Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s Songbook: The Stories Behind the Songs (feat. Kenny Wayne Shepherd)
Description
This week, I’m joined by modern blues legend Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and we’re diving into songs from across his entire discography — along with the stories behind several tracks from his new album, Dirt On My Diamonds, Vol. 1.
Along the way, we discuss: his experience on the Experience Hendrix Tour; recording with Les Claypool on his cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well”; the vocal dynamics of being a co-lead singer alongside Noah Hunt; performing with Double Trouble members Chris Layton, Reese Wynans, and Tommy Shannon; the remarkable longevity of “Blue On Black” — including the Five Finger Death Punch cover featuring Kenny, Brantley Gilbert, and Queen’s Brian May — and the (ahem) dirt on Dirt On My Diamonds, Vol. 2.
