Show Notes
This week, I’m joined by modern blues legend Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and we’re diving into songs from across his entire discography — along with the stories behind several tracks from his new album, Dirt On My Diamonds, Vol. 1.
Along the way, we discuss: his experience on the Experience Hendrix Tour; recording with Les Claypool on his cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well”; the vocal dynamics of being a co-lead singer alongside Noah Hunt; performing with Double Trouble members Chris Layton, Reese Wynans, and Tommy Shannon; the remarkable longevity of “Blue On Black” — including the Five Finger Death Punch cover featuring Kenny, Brantley Gilbert, and Queen’s Brian May — and the (ahem) dirt on Dirt On My Diamonds, Vol. 2.
