Recently played Colbert American Songwriter gives four stars to the new Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band album “Guitar-slinging rockers like Kenny Wayne Shepherd don’t typically get much respect from the singer-songwriter community. Perhaps that’s because many of them stick to well-worn tropes, both musically and lyrically, and are unable or unwilling to color outside those defined lines. But the best of the batch, whether it’s Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan or more recently Gary Clark Jr., use their blues roots, amped up sound and six-string chops to add sizzle to original songs that would be just as impressive stripped down to acoustic guitar. Shepherd understood this as far back as his second album, 1997’s Grammy-nom- inated, platinum-selling Trouble Is … That’s where the youngster — only 20 at the time — not only covered both Hendrix and Bob Dylan deep cuts, but was savvy enough to employ established Nashville-based songwriters such as the team of Mark Selby and to crank out quality tunes like “.” Fast-forward two decades and Shepherd (possibly inspired by hanging out with an iconic songwriter like in The Rides side project) continues to focus on superior tunes for his first album of originals in six years. Shepherd made multiple Nashville trips to co-write with not only Selby and Sillers (who contribute the bit- tersweet, sympathetic acoustic ballad title track about a once-influential, now broken down woman), but Keith Stegall and Marshall Altman, the latter of whom also co-produced. The result is not only some terrific new ma- terial in the sweeping country/folk of “Hard Lesson Learned,” featuring pedal steel guitar and a dynamic Shep- herd solo, and the gutsy funked-up “Nothing But the Night,” but also a handful of gritty yet creatively penned blues-rockers such as the horn bolstered “Diamonds & Gold” and the opening riff-rocking “Baby Got Gone.” Even when the lyrics aren’t exactly up to Stills’, let alone Dylan or Hendrix’s, standards (“She’ll light you up/ like a 220 socket” and “She’s too hot/ I can’t stand it/ what she’s got I gotta have it now” both from the sopho- moric “She’s $$$”), the inventive changes and Shepherd’s veteran band featuring ex-Vaughan drummer Chris Layton, lay down an irresistible tough and occasionally tender groove that will satisfy the guitarist’s longtime fan base. Largely recorded live in the studio with minimal overdubbing in Shepherd’s home town of Shreveport, Loui- siana, (we’ll forgive the clichéd “Louisiana Rain,” a Selby-Sillers original and not the Tom Petty classic or Tony Joe White’s composition) the music is diverse and the songs so consistently strong that even by-the-numbers blues rockers such as the simplistic Stevie Ray Vaughan riff happy “Down for Love” feels natural and inspired, if not exactly ground breaking. There’s sufficient nitro-burning, blues-drenched shredding to keep live audiences playing their air guitars. But Shepherd’s obvious attention to and insistence on exceptional material with musical, if perhaps not always lyri- cal, inventiveness continues to impress, and 22 years into his career raises him and Lay It On Down above his plentiful competition.” - American Songwriter, 8/1/17, rating: 4 out of 5 stars Cold War Kids get back on the road in support of “So Tied Up” 8/2 Louisville, KY 8/18 Las Vegas, NV 9/9 Chicago, IL 9/23 Miami, FL 8/3 Sterling Heights, MI 8/19 Reno, NV 9/10 Columbus, OH 9/25 Athens, GA 8/4 St. Louis, MO 8/20 Eugene, OR 9/12 Providence, RI 9/26 Birmingham, AL 8/5 Kansas City, MO 8/21 Sacramento, CA 9/13 New York, NY 9/28 City, OK 8/6 Sioux Falls, SD 8/23 Phoenix, AZ 9/14 Boston, MA 9/29 Irving, TX 8/8 Papillion, NE 8/24 San Diego, CA 9/15 Philadelphia, PA 9/30 Houston, TX 8/10 Boise, ID 8/25 Santa Barbara, CA 9/16 Columbia, MD Fall Festivals: 8/11 Seattle, WA 8/26 Irvine, CA 9/19 Charlottesville, VA 10/6-7 Memphis, TN 8/15 Morrison, CO 9/7 Cincinnati, OH 9/21 Orlando, FL 10/27-29 New Orleans, LA 8/17 Albuquerque, NM 9/8 Nashville, TN 9/22 Jacksonville, FL 11/18-19 Mexico City Coming up... 8/14: JD McPherson “Lucky Penny,” Alex Lahey “Every Day’s the Weekend”... 8/21: , Jonny Lang, This Is Us soundtrack...
