| | Kenny Wayne Shepherd Place You're In CD Kenny Wayne Shepherd Discography of CDs
 (20 Customer Reviews)
Despite theses changes of tack, the Louisiana native's string-bending skills are still something to hear, from the very Lenny Kravitz-like funk of "Be Mine" to the Blue Cheer-y instrumental "A Little Bit More." The quality of Shepherd's singing is impressive, thanks to smooth phrasing that works particularly well on the soulful, piano-based "Hey, What Do You Say" and "Spank," a funky strut that doubles as a Kid Rock duet. Longtime fans will be relieved to discover Shepherd's former vocalist Noah Hunt putting in cameos, both on the soaring "Believe" and pleading power-ballad "Burdens."
Saddled with the "blues wunderkind" tag since breaking on the music scene with 1995's LEDBETTER HEIGHTS at age 18, Kenny Wayne Shepherd used a five-year hiatus that began in '99 as a step to the next level. The result is 2004's THE PLACE YOU'RE IN, a project helmed by producer Marti Frederiksen that takes more of a hard-rock approach, a move sure to surprise some of Shepherd's diehard blues fans. The album also marks the first time Shepherd sings over the course of an entire record.
Personnel: Kenny Wayne Shepherd (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar); Kid Rock, Noah Hunt (vocals); Marti Frederiksen (guitar, Hammond b-3 organ, keyboards, bass guitar, percussion, background vocals); Mikal Reid (guitar); Jim Cox (piano, Clavinet, Hammond b-3 organ); Brian Tichy (drums); Pat Hodges (background vocals).

This is a great CD!
Kenny Wayne Shepherd is a serious student of musical history. Blending past sounds with a modern approach, this cd is a great ride with a brilliant guitarist. His first time lead vocals are impressive as well. I'm really looking forward to the next 10 years of this guy's career!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Doesn't work
I tried and tried for many months to like this CD, but I just could not get in to it. I saw KWS at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach on his first two tours and when opened for Aerosmith he was blew the doors of off everyone. The only songs that I really liked were the ones Noah sang. I appreciate his try, but I don't listen this CD anymore.

 lip synced
I saw KWS live and he lip synced the vacals. If you don't have confidence with your voice then let the other dude sing.

I miss Noah
This cd is ok but the absence of Noah's vocals is blatantly obvious. I played it at work and another long time fan of KWS agreed with me: we miss Noah's vocals.
Reminds me of one of my favorite sayings : if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Go back to the blues/rock with great vocals and your always great guitar. They go great together.

LONG TIME COMING may be Jonny Lang's third album, but in terms of creative growth, it may as well be considered a debut for this 22-year-old, who started out as a hotshot teenage guitar prodigy. Teaming with Pink/Aerosmith producer Marti Frederiksen, Lang took five years between albums and emerged with a collection of songs predominantly co-written by himself and Frederiksen, moving him well past an image that found ...

Nebraska is probably the album that has more critical respect, from both writers and musicians, than any other Bruce Springsteen project. It's likely that no other Springsteen album could have brought together the mainstream and indie acts on this track-by-track re-creation of the record, the cast including Chrissie Hynde (dueting with Adam Seymour), Los Lobos, Ani DiFranco, Son Volt, ...
