Blues infused Guitar-Driven Rock N Roll! Double 150 Gram Vinyl Mastered by Bob Ludwig!
The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band is a Five time Grammy nominee and a Two time Billboard Award recipient!
This is the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Bands first studio album since signing with Roadrunner/Loud & Proud Records and follows the release of the GRAMMY nominated album Live! In Chicago.
Recorded in Sausalito, Californias Studio D, and produced by both Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his longtime collaborator and producer Jerry Harrison (Trouble Is, Live On, 10 Days Out, Blues From The Backroads, Live! In Chicago), How I Go signals the bands welcome return to the studio. With the help of co-writers Mark Selby and Tia Sellers (Blue on Black), as well as Zac Maloy and Danny Tate, the album offers a bounty of new material as well as covers from Albert King, Bessie Smith and The Beatles.
Kenny and his band, which features Noah Hunt, Chris Layton, and Riley Osbourn along with special guest Tommy Shannon, have delivered a refreshing and inspiring take on guitar-driven rock n roll. How I Go offers a blues infused collection of music and more. Shepherd said, We poured our hearts and souls into the recording of How I Go. My goal was to give longtime fans exactly what they want to hear on one of my records, while providing new fans an opportunity to experience my brand of blues based rock. Im certain music lovers will clearly hear our musical roots while experiencing the growth and emotion that this record represents.
There are few artists whose names are synonymous with one instrument and how it's played in service to an entire genre. Utter the phrase "young blues guitarist" within earshot of anyone with even a cursory knowledge of the modern musical vanguard and the first name they are most likely to respond with will be Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Still barely in his 30s, the Louisiana born axeman and songsmith has been selling millions of albums, throwing singles into the Top 10, shining a light on the rich blues of the past and forging ahead with his own modern twist on a classic sound he has embodied since his teens. He met Stevie Ray Vaughn at 7, shared the stage with New Orleans legend Bryan Lee at13. As an adult, he continues to create genre-defining blues-infused rock n' roll.
Since releasing his first record at the age of 17, Kenny has enjoyed two Platinum and one Gold album, six Top 10 singles, and his album Trouble Is holds the distinction of being the longest running album on the Billboard Blues Charts, hitting the two year mark. Kennys five albums have spent a combined 93 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Blues chart, tying with luminary B.B. King for most weeks ever atop the chart. 2010s Live! In Chicago was Kennys 5th straight #1 blues album, an achievement matched solely by fellow guitar man Eric Clapton.
Over the course of his career, Kenny has amassed five GRAMMY nominations, two Billboard Music Awards, two Orville H. Gibson Awards, the Blues Foundations Keeping the Blues Alive award and a Blues Music Award. In 2008, Fender released the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Signature Series Stratocaster. 2007s CD/DVD 10 Days Out: Blues from the Backroads (WEACD49294). was nominated for two GRAMMY Awards, aired on PBS television nationwide and has been certified RIAA Gold as a Long Form Video.
