Biography

There are few artists whose names are synonymous with one instrument and how it's played in service to an entire genre.

Utter the phrase "young blues guitarist" within earshot of anyone with even a cursory knowledge of the modern musical vanguard and the first name they are most likely to respond with will be Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Still barely in his 30s, the Louisiana born ... Read more in Amazon's Kenny Wayne Shepherd Store

Editorial Reviews

Special Edition includes 4 bonus studio recordings as well as expanded artwork in a Digipak.


Kenny Wayne Shepherd's How I Go not only serves as a strong reminder of the chops that caused Guitar World to place him right behind B.B. King and Eric Clapton on their list of blues guitarists, but it's the strongest indication yet of his gifted songwriting talent. The album pairs Kenny's deeply soulful and impassioned takes on classic material like Bessie Smith's "Blackwater Blues," Albert King's "Oh, Pretty Woman" and The Beatles "Yer Blues" alongside the strongest writing and co-writing of his career thus far.


The hard-rocking, blues-based, guitar-driven album sounds young, it sounds fresh. Yet it has that distinctive energy and vibe drawn from the deep heritage of the genre. Kenny Wayne Shepherd is growing as a songwriter, musician and producer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good 'ol fashioned, hard driving, blues driven rock! August 2, 2011
Format:Audio CD
Kenny Wayne Shepherd is one of the most amazing guitar players of our time, and his new album "How I Go" rocks! Featuring cover songs by Albert King ("Oh, Pretty Woman"), Bessie Smith ("Blackwater Blues,") and the Beatles ("Yer Blues"), as well as plenty of original songs, this album is full of powerful guitar driven tunes that will immediately grab you by the neck and reel you in. Shepherd is a master of infusing blues oriented riffs with rock and roll and the results are amazing. "Never Lookin' Back" opens up the album and is a straight ahead rocker with a ton of energy that will blow your mind. "Cold" has a driving rhythm that shows his true nature as a virtuoso. He alternates between a straight ahead attack and the perfect blend of melody and a solo in which he SHREDS the guitar. "The Wire" comes as close to being heavy metal as you can be while still maintaining the unique sound of his blues-rock approach. The sheer impact of this song will hit you like a sonic explosion. "Dark Side of Love" is yet another hard driving song but uses several horns to give it an added and unique texture. Things slow down a little with the beautiful and catchy power ballad "Who's Gonna Catch You Now" which features an incredible, melodic guitar solo that will leave you breathless. Every song on this album is awesome; there is not one filler. If you like your blues loud and powerful infused with rock and some funk, you will love this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best KWS album in forever! August 2, 2011
Format:MP3 Music
I've been a fan of Kenny since he was a long haired kid back on Ledbetter Heights. I'm also a big time fan of SRV, BB King, Clapton, Johnny Lang, Joe Bonamassa, Warren Haynes, John Mayer, Buddaheads, etc. and so on. Blues - and its many iterations - is my fave music style.

The last few albums from KWS were diverse, with some serious hits and misses. But this one is probably his best to date. Period. I'm not gonna repeat all the other reviewer's praises about how great his guitar work is... just reiterate them.

Heck, I didn't even realize he had a new album until a few hours ago! I previewed it once, downloaded it, and have played it 3 times back to back. If you're a KWS fan... buy this. If you're not, buy it and be introduced to one of the best blues bands going, and one of the best guitar gods on the planet.

$11 for 17 songs... all of which kick various kinds of ass (Never Lookin' Back has to be my fave at this point). It's a steal! It's How I Go...

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank God for Noah August 2, 2011
Format:Audio CD
It has been a very long time since Mr. Noah's vocals have fully fronted a release of new material and THANK GOD for Noah Hunt!!! There are not many blues volcals compare to that of Mr. Noah. My ears are now back in Heaven!!!

Sure Kenny's guitar brilliance is here and as strong as usual but he did the right thing and let the real voice of KWSB shine like it should. As shone in the last full length "The Place You're In" Kenny's vocals just don't cut it. Maybe that is why I don't like the song "Cold" and "Who's Gonna Catch You Now" very much.

4.0 out of 5 stars I like the album
I can listen to the whole album if I leave it play. I find its getting harder and harder to enjoy an entire album. These days there is usually 1 good song and the rest is junk. Read more

Good overall CD for the Blues Rock fan. If you liked this, try Kenny Wayne Live in Chicago which would be highly recommended.
