Kenny Wayne Shepherd is great...but he was so heavily influenced by SRV that after Ledbetter Heights I basically told myself "I can just listen to SRV albums instead," and kind-of lost interest.

Yea you can tell SRV really influenced him but he also influenced a bunch of other artists as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr. Jerk Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I misread the title as "I Went to Kanye West last night." Glad it didn't come to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaoulDuke79 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 He's as good as anyone out there on guitar. He hasn't been as commercially successful as many other terrible bands, but he can bend those strings and that's all I care about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw KWS as part of the, "Experience Hendrix," tour, for years ago. While I agree that it's very clear that Hendrix and SRV were his primary influences, he's definitely got his own style. He absolutely destroyed every other guitarist during that show (including Buddy Guy, Dweezil Zappa and Jonny Lang). My point is that he's not just a copy cat, by any means. I'm going to see him this Friday night in Albany and I cannot wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best guitar players I’ve ever seen, seriously talented! I saw that Beth Hart had to cancel due to a jaw injury. I can't find much more on it. I'm wondering if she'll be ready to go this Friday. A couple of the guys I'm going with are huge Beth Hart fans (I honestly don't care if she performs, or not; she's good, but it won't break my heart to get an extra set out of KWS over seeing her) and are looking forward to seeing her as much as I'm looking forward to seeing KWS.

Yea , I’m Not exactly sure what happened to Hart, but some people at the concert were saying she broke her jaw? if she broke it I can’t imagine her playing yet... i did get a free concert ticket to canal side because she cancelled! KWS rocked down the house, there were atleast 10 thousand there and it was rocking! He knew how to put on a show and played some great blues tunes as well! There lead singer was fantastic too! Didn’t know what to expect but they were a super tight band! Keyboard player and all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
