E316 Kenny Wayne Shepherd on 23 Years of Sobriety, 30 Years of Ledbetter Heights, and 92 Years of Bobby Rush
This week, we're scratching The Itch to sing the blues ... again! Grammy nominee Kenny Wayne Shepherd returns in celebration of the 30th anniversary of his debut album Ledbetter Heights. In addition to a re-recording to be released in May, Kenny and his band are playing the album in full on this tour alongside some old faces and some who will be playing the songs for the first time! Plus, we discuss Kenny's recent tribute to B.B. King and collaboration with Bobby Rush, showing that you can still be a young man in the blues world at 48. And Kenny celebrates 23 years of proving that you don't have to party to make life a party. Enjoy.
