Gotcha both by 5&6 years, hell when it's good, no matter the genre ! If you can't bob yer head to it or tap yer toe, it may not be good ANY TYPE OF MUSIC ( except polkas ) depends on the wedding I guess ! And depending on the mood the louder the better, Buddy Guy, Hank Williams, Grand Funk, it doesn't matter !!!
Yeah, this song was a classic in its own time. He also helps other young blues stars get started. In the mid-00s, I met a then 18 year old who was invited to a show we helped with (he had dated my boss's daughter) who had already played for KWS and BB King by then.
When Kenny was like 8 or 9 years old, Stevie Ray Vaughan lifted him on stage, sat him on an amp and let him watch him play guitar. Changed his whole life.
Lex's reaction totally sums up my feelings on this song. First time I heard it, I was SOLD. You should try Jonny Lang "Lie to Me". I think you'll dig it.
Jonny Lang, Joe Bonamassa, Government Mule, Samantha Fish, Eric Gales, so many 'newer' blues acts that are killing it right now and barely get recognized.
Blues. Kenny's father's a well-known blues radio dj from Shreveport, LA. Look for the album, '10 Days Out'.. He tours across the South, finishing in a concert with old, established blues artists, playing along the way. Guests meeting up with him include BB King, Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown, Pinetop Perkins and others that played with Muddy Waters. My favorite is one he did with Bryan Lee. The song was, 'Tina Marie'.. if you want to hear some ROCKIN', this is it.
1:53 When this came out it played on all of the country, rock, and pop stations. Think that’s what makes it such a great song, it crosses and combines the best of a few different music genres.
I grew up in the same town in Louisiana as KWS and had mutual friends, it wasn’t uncommon to show up at parties and he’d be playing. His dad was a radio DJ and ended up buying the radio station. I got to see him open for Jeff Healey and BB King at a blues festival in 1994. I believe he opened for the Eagles around that time as a teenager. He is a phenomenal guitar player heavily inspired by SRV.
Yep, born & raised in S'port City, LA and listened to his Dad on KEEL AM radio, WAY back in the day! Home town boy done very well indeed!! (Go Cowboys! Beat Gators! and the rest of 'em too.)
Great song. Great vocals and great guitar. Great childhood friendship. Noah Hunt (vocalists)and KWS (guitarist) Noah's vocals and KWS's strat make it a magical experience to groove in. At 19!!
Thanks Brad for your comment about the electric guitar growing on you! Many ppl I know think it's hard to stand listening to, which I do not understand at all lol, but at least it can become a great sound when you keep letting it in and then get it!
@@jgox2 look for videos of Noah Hunt with Scotty Bratcher. I sell merch for Scotty. He and Noah play a lot together and have a side band called The 420 Allstars
Kenny Wayne Shepherd is a blues artist , he does all the guitar solos & Noah Hunt does the singing for him . Noah Hunt went from singing karaoke in a bar in Cincinnati Ohio to one of the best blues / rock singers out there .
contemporary Country has electric guitars, sometimes overdriven, even distorted. Kenny Wayne is a blues player. Whenever I listen to your reactions , it reminds of all the great and diverse music there was from the years 90 to about 2005.Alternative and Grunge, Metal, Nu Metal...sooo much great stuff...maybe it has to do more with my age at the time....20 to 35..those were the days...good times
This is blues Rock baby. And I think that lexy's line " There's something about the electric guitar the nourishes me. It gives more than it takes" is so on point. Hell, god damn insightful. You nailed it with that statement and I'm gonna steal that phrase
I took my oldest son to see him twice at a local club. He got to meet Kenny and hang out on the tour bus with him. He also signed my boy's Gibson, alongside BB King's signature. I got hugs from the whole band after one of the shows, they found out it was my birthday and hugged me one by one, and bought me beer. Great night. 🥰💜💚💛✌️
Kenny Wayne Shephard hails from Louisiana. Guitar virtuoso, made his first album at like 15 or 16. . Southern rock blues. It's good to see you younger folks enjoying music that really speaks. Keep listening keep broadening your horizons. Check out some Robin Trower, Daydream. You'll like it
Hey guys what's up! Greetings from South Florida! I've seen Kenny Wayne Shepherd twice, and in my opinion he's one of the best living guitar players of today. He is just a monster live! You guys rock! God bless you! Peace!
6:20 As an electric guitarist I understand exactly what she means. There's a level of emotion in that instrument that doesn't exist in any other. Such an incredible sound!
I am so happy for you both that you are allowing different kinds of music in your life. I know quite a few people who just listen to one kind of music. That''s kinda sad. There is so much music to digest and take in. Imagine only watching one genre of movies and that's it. Only scary movies and nothing else. What a boring life that would be..lol It's the same with music. There is something to enjoy in every genre, there really is. You just have to open your mind and heart to it. You two have done just that!!
That's a lesson that has yet escaped Brad. Hopefully, he'll get it eventually. It'll be tough for him since he focuses on categories and lyrics but misses the "feel".
EXACTLY! I started enjoying music in the early 70's .So I was raised on great music.We had AM radio back then.So it was all played , either Soft or Hard Rock! We didn't have FM, until late 70's.But Country Music was Real Country back then. People didn't put music in a genre for many years to come. Most times we didn't even know the lyrics.Ive sang songs for over 20 years, the wrong words.But hey it sounded good to me.lol But yeah, he needs to listen more with out his eyes. The message is very clear. All these things he talks about in the song, mean nothing in the long run.Like Blue on Black.They redid this a few years ago for first responders, it has Five finger death punch, Brian May, Brantly Gilbert, it is alot heavier , but still really good.
I saw KWS at the Electric Factory. He had Stevie Ray Vaughn's band Double Trouble on bass and drums. What a show! He finished with Voodoo Chile SRV style. It was as close to seeing SRV as I'll ever get
You 2 remind me of me. In one hand. Very thoughtful and analytical. The other. I feel it down to my soul and letting move and grove me in any funky way it does. It's great to watch.
If you liked this tune, you will love Kenny Wayne Shepherd's first big song "Deja Voodoo" from his debut album "Ledbetter Heights." It was the first of his tunes I'd ever heard, and it reminded me a lot of Stevie Ray Vaughan's style. I immediately bought the album and I still love it. Most folks thought he sounded a lot like SRV as well - so much so that a couple of years after Stevie died, Double Trouble drummer Chris Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon toured with Kenny, performing live together. Fun Fact, Kenny Wayne Sheppard recorded the album Ledbetter Heights when he was 17...
this song never struck me as telling a specific story so much as just conveying a general feeling, and the feeling this song conveys is a general lament for being too small to change the things that are wrong with the world.
This song was all over the radio & what got me into him. Its a total vibe. He didnt start out singing but does now. He was 17 when he recorded his 1st album with his original singer. Noah Hunt joined him for his 2nd album with this song. Kenny Wayne is a shredder. Check out his version of *Voodoo Child* 🤟 He also has a side project with Steven Stills called The Rides 🚘
Kenny Wayne Shepherd is an absolute guitar prodigy, had a re record deal at 16 and re recorded this song at 19, he is AMAZING live too, I had the pleasure of see him in concert in the late 80's...
There's a cool detail in the lyrics that I've never seen any reactor notice: the last phrase of the choruses before "blue on black" alternates between the incorrect form of the negative 3rd person ("don't bring you back") and the correct form of the negative 3rd person ("doesn't bring you back"). I don't know if it was a conscious decision or not but whatever the reason, it gives a certain "unpredictability" to the chorus. 🙂
Written by KWS along with Mark Otis Selby and Mark's wife, Tia Sillers. Mark is a blues songwriter from Oklahoma who moved to Nashville, thus the country influence you heard Lex. Good listen! Mark also wrote "There's Your Trouble" which the Dixie Chicks made into a country hit.
Only got to see these guys play once & they opened for Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes. I didn't know they were playing that night so we missed most of their set but they played some great Hendrix stuff. Their lead player can really play!
Kenny is a amazing, so much talent, he’s played with the likes of B.B. King and Eric Clapton incredible at such a young age. Hey Brad don’t feel bad I’m not allowed to sing Happy Birthday lol 😂
Saw him in Cleveland and he brought Stevie's band Double Trouble with him and after his set list he brought them out and they played their asses off it was one of the best shows I've ever seen!!!
Just enjoy the smoothness of this song. Believe me when I say the more you listen to it the more you will enjoy the subtlety of the guitar sounds he produces.
The demo of this song was given out on the Levi's Nu Grooves sampler back in the day. It also featured One Week by Barenaked Ladies.... Which you two should watch.
I'm nearly 60 now, but Lex reacts to these songs from the 70s, 80s, and 90s just like I did when I was 10, 20, and 30. Love seeing her get into a song I love.
Amazing blues guitar,along with Stevie Ray and Johnny Lang,one of the best this song doesn't showcase his talent's all that much but it's definitely worth hearing more.
The name is The Kenny Wayne Shepard Band. The singer on this is Noah Hunt. Kenny is the lead guitarist. Like Mike and the Mechanics, the named performer (Mike Rutherford, also plays in Genesis) is not the lead singer.
Kenny is awesome! He and Jonny Lang are two men who started playing blues about the same time. They're both great. Check out "Shame, Shame, Shame", "Aberdeen", and "Live On" by Kenny and "Lie to Me" and "Angel of Mercy" by Jonny..
As a young man that played guitar, when I first heard this guitar solo it changed my perspective on what guitar could be. The tone, the feeling. A true master of Texas blues.
I love watching Lex react to rock and roll and blues music. She puts me in mind of a rocker from back in the day. I can totally see her setting in a room with a black light, posters on the walls, a smoke being passed around and her just rocking out. Oh, and she is gorgeous too. Am I wrong? LOL
I love this song. Kenny Wayne was a prodigy back in the day. Never quite got the commercial success a lot thought he'd become. This is random but Lex you're killing me. Mad Season - River of Deceit. PLEASE. It's Layne Staley (Alice in Chains) with Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) and Screaming Trees on bass and drums. It's a beautiful song with lyrics just for Brad.
I just saw them last weekend in Santa Barbara with my two teenage daughters and Kenny and company were as good as ever. He is, in my opinion, the most fluid guitar player I have seen of his generation. They played this song live and it is was spectacular. I highly recommend you check him out live when you get the chance.
Oh y'all done stepped into the rhelm of blues/rock. Strap in and enjoy the smooth ride! Lots of KWS is awesome, maybe try "live on" "deja Voodoo" "last goodbye" "shotgun blues"... the list goes on and on. And Johnny Lang is another one from the 90s to check out he is a badass.
I remember when I heard his music for the first time. Couldn't believe how young he was. You guys need to check out Johnny Lang. The song "Lie to Me" is incredible because he was in his teens as well. They both had great songs around the same time frame if I remember correctly.
KWSB ROCKS! #BluesRock Kenny Wayne Shepherd is a Masterful Guitar player. I’ve had the privilege to see the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band on several occasions in 2000 & 2001.
Hello Brad & Lexi, hope yall are well. An amazing song. Unfortunately Kenny fell short because of alcohol. He is sober now but his career was stomped because of his addiction. He is a very gifted guitarist. The band still tours now but not at the same level. It is blues/rock music, hope yall check out his other early cd's. There are many other great songs on those cd's
I loved this song the first time I heard it on the radio. Kenny does it with Five Finger Death Punch, Brantley Gilbert, Brian May as one of the most beautiful tributes to our first responders: th-cam.com/video/p8NQUbLQGio/w-d-xo.html
Les Paul & Mary Ford "How High the Moon" (1951 or so) demonstrates very early sound-on-sound recording which later became almost a given for studio recording.
In an August 2017 interview, Shepherd discussed the song's origins: We wrote that when we were down in New Orleans - me, Mark and Tia. I had the music, and Mark and I were just rolling with the music and tried to develop things up. Tia came up with this idea based on a shirt that I was wearing that was blue and black. She noticed the two colors that were dominant on my shirt, and if you mix those two colors together, black consumes the blue. It doesn't amount to anything if you put the two together: You still have one color, instead of creating a new color. So she built on that idea, and it became this really deep song. It's really up to the listener to determine how they apply it. So many people have applied it to a death in the family, an abusive relationship, a broken relationship, or whatever. There are so many different ways. That's what's beautiful about music and lyrics is trying to write a song that the listener can apply to their own experience in whatever way seems fit. And that's one of those songs.[1]
This song was a classic in its own time, for sure! His version of "If The House Is A-Rockin'" is definitely one to check out too. He's just a great musician all the way around.
Southern Rock. Kenny is from Shreveport Louisiana and that's where his roots are from. He sounds a lot like Stevie Ray Vaughn at times, but not quite as good as the master. This song is more commercial. Most of his stuff is obvious Blues to the ear. Do a live version of Kenny doing Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child.
"There's something about the electric guitar that nourishes me." Well said.
That's a Strat for you
"it gives more than it takes", she has a way with words
Well said Lex!!
In my 62 years on this Earth, One thing is clear, I have heard the greatest music in the history of music throughout my life.
With you buddy. 61 myself.
63 years old we had the best music ever it's great to see young people like Brad and lex getting into it
i'm 65 and you are sooo right!!

If you can't bob yer head to it or tap yer toe, it may not be good ANY TYPE OF MUSIC ( except polkas ) depends on the wedding I guess !

Just jumped on the 60 boat myself.
Recorded this at age 19! Blues playing prodigy... love this song

awww, isn't that cute... sounds like some BS story to pump up KWS fans.
Lol, what was he doing at 8 or 9 before the change ?
His father was a radio executive for the station that was sponsoring the SRV concert. Its true he watched sitting on a speaker
@@wtritt5818 Yes but the comment said he was 8 or 9 and it changed his life, changed it from what ?
@@65cj55 dude, what is your problem?
Brad, you are one of the coolest, most thoughtful reactors out there. And Lex, you FEEL the music unlike most! Y'all are fun to watch.
Glad to hear Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Blues NOT country. He's talking about things that don't make difference.
Nice this sounds good. Like old school southern rock. A mix of rock, blues and country music.
Love this album...this song rocked when it hit and still does to this day!
IMO this is the best blues/rock song ever made.
No trucks, guns, or cheatin hearts mentioned. It’s rock. Blues Rock. And its all good.
A complete lack of Dog issues is also a tell-tale sign.
So glad you two found Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Absolutely amazing guitarist!
He's talking about things that make no difference. Tears on a river, whisper on a scream. . . .things that are lost.
This, he's saying it's pointless. There is nothing he can do that will change it. It's like blue on black. Worthless.
@@ArcDevErik exactly, it makes no impact.
7:00 "Good music is good music, no matter the genre." Totally agree.
And for full on blues...Robert Cray. Amazing guitar and vocals.
Lex's reaction totally sums up my feelings on this song. First time I heard it, I was SOLD.
You should try Jonny Lang "Lie to Me". I think you'll dig it.
I was about to say the same
Jonny Lang, Joe Bonamassa, Government Mule, Samantha Fish, Eric Gales, so many 'newer' blues acts that are killing it right now and barely get recognized.
The entire album set a new bar and I believe he may have only been 14 when it was recorded.
@@Kid-8888 I think you're right, I remember him being just a teenager.
Agree about Lie to me !
Blues.

Lex, the way you feel and describe songs is usually how I feel !!! If it makes you feel good who cares if the words add up.
The fact that this was on main stream rock stations really says something about how much "rock" stations have changed since the 90s.
Noah Hunt has a wonderful, soulful voice. Very underrated as a vocalist.
I was gonna say... KWS is good, but his vocalist has a marvelous voice, might be too refined for Kenny's gutty playing style.
Noah is a friend of mine. Really great guy.
I have them in concert probably 8 times. They sound just as good live.

I saw Kenny Wayne Shepherd perform this song in Macon, Georgia b4 it was released. Best concert I've ever been to.
You 2 remind me of me. In one hand. Very thoughtful and analytical. The other. I feel it down to my soul and letting move and grove me in any funky way it does. It's great to watch.

I don't know if it was a conscious decision or not but whatever the reason, it gives a certain "unpredictability" to the chorus. 🙂
Saw Kenny Wayne just before the pandemic at Bedford Bluesfest. He's finally beginning to find his voice and sing on some of his tracks.
Written by KWS along with Mark Otis Selby and Mark's wife, Tia Sillers. Mark is a blues songwriter from Oklahoma who moved to Nashville, thus the country influence you heard Lex. Good listen! Mark also wrote "There's Your Trouble" which the Dixie Chicks made into a country hit.

Kenny is a amazing, so much talent, he’s played with the likes of B.B. King and Eric Clapton incredible at such a young age. Hey Brad don’t feel bad I’m not allowed to sing Happy Birthday lol 😂
And Noahs vocals are perfect for Kennys style.
I think many of us were kinda hoping he could pick up the torch from SRV, but ...

I think a lot of people would throw this into the "Southern Rock" category, being mostly rock with the accent and the heavy blues influence
Vocally, lyrically and instrumentally, a total masterpiece.
Don't be so quick to label, music only needs to move you. That's the deal❤️❤️🎵 This is beautifully written and played. Enjoy✌️❤️🎵
This is a genre we called southern rock back in the day. Think Lynyrd Skynyrd. It's definitely a fusion of rock, the blues and country.
I love this song. Kenny Wayne was a prodigy back in the day. Never quite got the commercial success a lot thought he'd become.
This is random but Lex you're killing me. Mad Season - River of Deceit. PLEASE. It's Layne Staley (Alice in Chains) with Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) and Screaming Trees on bass and drums. It's a beautiful song with lyrics just for Brad.
Absolutely!
Never got the commercial success? This song was on the radio every day multiple times a day for like 10 years.
I love that song....
@@vagabondwastrel2361 Agreed this song was but Kenny Wayne was supposed to be the next Stevie Ray and just never happened at any level was my point.
I've been asking them to do mad season for awhile. I think lex would probably like wake up or long gone day.
I just saw them last weekend in Santa Barbara with my two teenage daughters and Kenny and company were as good as ever. He is, in my opinion, the most fluid guitar player I have seen of his generation. They played this song live and it is was spectacular. I highly recommend you check him out live when you get the chance.
Trust me I've come across many, but the end of this video I realized it's the best review I've ever known of this song.
Such a great song
When music meant something &
you felt it in your soul.
Oh y'all done stepped into the rhelm of blues/rock. Strap in and enjoy the smooth ride! Lots of KWS is awesome, maybe try "live on" "deja Voodoo" "last goodbye" "shotgun blues"... the list goes on and on. And Johnny Lang is another one from the 90s to check out he is a badass.
I remember when I heard his music for the first time. Couldn't believe how young he was. You guys need to check out Johnny Lang. The song "Lie to Me" is incredible because he was in his teens as well. They both had great songs around the same time frame if I remember correctly.
I 💯 agree, Jonny is amazing!!! I saw him when he was 16 and opened for Aerosmith. My favorite by him is darker side though.
KWSB ROCKS! #BluesRock
Kenny Wayne Shepherd is a Masterful Guitar player. I’ve had the privilege to see the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band on several occasions in 2000 & 2001.
Great song!!! Glad the guitar is growing on you Brad!+! It's an amazing instrument!!
Hello Brad & Lexi, hope yall are well. An amazing song. Unfortunately Kenny fell short because of alcohol. He is sober now but his career was stomped because of his addiction. He is a very gifted guitarist. The band still tours now but not at the same level. It is blues/rock music, hope yall check out his other early cd's. There are many other great songs on those cd's
This whole album is fantastic, there is even a phenomenal cover of Hendrix I don’t live today👍
The Blues make me feel Oh so Good 🎸✌️
I loved this song the first time I heard it on the radio. Kenny does it with Five Finger Death Punch, Brantley Gilbert, Brian May as one of the most beautiful tributes to our first responders: th-cam.com/video/p8NQUbLQGio/w-d-xo.html
A MUST WATCH Video very Tear-jerking! 💜🇺🇲😭
Les Paul & Mary Ford "How High the Moon" (1951 or so) demonstrates very early sound-on-sound recording which later became almost a given for studio recording.
In an August 2017 interview, Shepherd discussed the song's origins:
We wrote that when we were down in New Orleans - me, Mark and Tia. I had the music, and Mark and I were just rolling with the music and tried to develop things up. Tia came up with this idea based on a shirt that I was wearing that was blue and black. She noticed the two colors that were dominant on my shirt, and if you mix those two colors together, black consumes the blue. It doesn't amount to anything if you put the two together: You still have one color, instead of creating a new color. So she built on that idea, and it became this really deep song. It's really up to the listener to determine how they apply it. So many people have applied it to a death in the family, an abusive relationship, a broken relationship, or whatever. There are so many different ways. That's what's beautiful about music and lyrics is trying to write a song that the listener can apply to their own experience in whatever way seems fit. And that's one of those songs.[1]
Brad just sits there studiously, and Lex is just movin' and a-groovin'. Real good review.
He CHANNELED Hendrix in that solo
This entire album is PERFECT...Thank you for your reaction.
I got to see Kenny Wayne Shepherd with Double Trouble one time, great show. Keep rocking
Gary from Tennessee ✌️🤘
This song was a classic in its own time, for sure! His version of "If The House Is A-Rockin'" is definitely one to check out too. He's just a great musician all the way around.
When Kenny Wayne Shepherd first started I heard him called the new Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Kenny is the guitarist here. The Genre' is called "Americana"
Southern Rock. Kenny is from Shreveport Louisiana and that's where his roots are from. He sounds a lot like Stevie Ray Vaughn at times, but not quite as good as the master. This song is more commercial. Most of his stuff is obvious Blues to the ear. Do a live version of Kenny doing Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child.
