Kenny Wayne Shepherd - WHILE WE CRY

It's hard to believe that I have been a Kenny Wayne Shepherd fan for 25 years. 

Another Louisiana native, Shepherd was discovered at a young age and came on to the blues scene.  I was watching one of those news magazine shows one evening and the story was on a 'new crop' of guitar players who were coming on the scene.   'Monster' Mike Welch, Jonny Lang and  Kenny Wayne Shepherd.  

I have fortunate enough to see them all play live and while they were all great shows, I will not forget when a friend of mine called me one day to tell me that Kenny Wayne was doing a show not far from where he was living at the time - in New Jersey.  So off we went and the show delivered... and I was particularly moved by While We Cry.  I had heard the songs many times before....but there was something about this performance of this song that was just magical.

If you are not familiar with Kenny Wayne,  Blue on Black, Somehow Somewhere Someday, and King's Highway are a few good ones to get you started..

Have a listen to 

While We Cry
