Description

As a renowned hot-rodder and speed-freak, perhaps its apt that Shreveport, Louisianas Kenny Wayne Shepherds musical career has no reverse gear. Awards, acclaim and platinum album sales flash by in a blur. Past glories vanish in the rear-view mirror. For this questing musician, the focus is always the horizon ahead, the next challenge, the new songs, the crowd out front stamping their feet. In 2017, Shepherd is reaching unstoppable momentum, and the proof is all over his eighth solo album, Lay It On Down. Were still breaking new ground, not just repeating ourselves, notes the standard-bearer for modern blues. Every album is representative of the things that are going on with me right now. Every album is another page in the book.
