Since bursting onto the scene with his debut smash ‘Ledbetter Heights’, guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd has sold millions of records, received five Grammy nominations and scored six #1 blues albums, including his acclaimed CD/documentary project ‘10 Days Out: Blues from the Backroads’. In 2010, Shepherd even had the rare opportunity of playing the same Fender Stratocaster Jimi Hendrix most notably made famous during his performance at the Woodstock Festival in August of 1969. For Shepherd’s new album, “Goin’ Home” (Release date: May 20th) we find the blues wizard returning to his hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana to revisit a dozen vintage blues classics. Songs that first ignited Shepherd’s passion for guitar as well as his desire to make music his life. Shepherd’s guitar prowess brilliantly shines through on songs originally popularized by such Blues icons as B.B. King, Albert King, Muddy Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. In addition to contributions by Shepherd’s electrifying band, which consists of singer Noah Hunt, ex-Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble drummer Chris Layton, former Firm bassist Tony Franklin and keyboardist Riley Osbourn; Goin’ Home also features performances by Joe Walsh, Warren Haynes as well as Shepherd’s longtime friend, Ringo Starr.
