Blues might be a product of a single man’s lonesomeness, yet sometimes a collaboration emerges that focuses on synergy between two musicians, and that’s exactly how it’s panning out to be on a forthcoming album by artists from different generations. Separated by a whopping forty-four years, Bobby Rush and Kenny Wayne Shepherd have a lot in common though, and this “a lot” is mostly what they play.
KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD –
Young Fashioned Ways
And what the pair play on “Young Fashioned Ways” which will be out on March 21st is both original and faithful to tradition, what with their cut “Young Ways” being a take on Muddy Waters’ number that the record was titled after – and his number had been based on Willie Dixon’s piece – and four more compositions being fresh versions of Bobby’s classics. Quite alluring,
1. Who Was That
2. 40 Acres (How Long)
3. Hey Baby (What Are We Gonna Do)
4. Uncle Esau
5. Make Love To You
6. Long Way From Home
7. G String
8. You So Fine
9. Young Ways
10. What She Said
