SUMMARY:Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band
DESCRIPTION:Recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals\, Alabama\, Dirt On My Diamonds\, Vol. 1 captures a new chapter for Kenny Wayne Shepherd\, the Grammy-nominated\, multi-platinum guitarist and songwriter who continues to shape the future of the blues. The album blends modern production with emotional storytelling\, highlighting themes of resilience and authenticity. Featuring standout tracks like “Sweet & Low\,” “Best of Times\,” and a fiery cover of Elton John’s “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting\,” the record showcases Shepherd’s trademark blend of grit\, groove\, and heart. \nThirty years ago\, a Fender Strat-wielding teenager from Shreveport\, Louisiana by the name of Kenny Wayne Shepherd brought the blues back to the mainstream. It was 1995\, the era of furrow-browed grungesters\, when a sandy-haired guitar prodigy unapologetically celebrated a genre often pushed to the margins. With his fiery fretwork\, pop-rock hooks\, and reverence for the blues\, Shepherd’s arrival was a much-needed palette-cleanser from the existential dread of the times.\nNow\, three decades later\, Shepherd is as vital as ever. No longer the child prodigy\, he has ascended to master. Still touring\, recording\, collaborating\, and evolving\, he’s returned to where it all began\, Ledbetter Heights. Shepherd’s latest is a re-recording of his landmark first album\, in honor of its 30th anniversary. In early 2026\, he and his band will launch a national tour celebrating the milestone’s anniversary. \n“This is the album that put me on the map\, and I still enjoy listening to it because my goal has always been to make music I want to listen to\,” Shepherd says. “Unfiltered and straight from the heart.” In a short time\, Shepherd rocketed from small clubs to cracking the Top 10 with his debut album. Ledbetter Heights was an unequivocal success\, earning critical praise\, industry accolades\, a highly engaged fanbase that continues to this day\, and the respect of blues and rock heavyweights across generations. The album went Gold within months and was certified Platinum by early 1996. That same year\, Guitar World ranked Shepherd No. 3 blues artist behind only B.B. King and Eric Clapton. \nHis sophomore album\, 1997’s Trouble Is…\, garnered his first Grammy nomination and went on to become the longest-running album on the Billboard Blues Chart\, spending 20 consecutive weeks there. Since then\, Shepherd has earned five Grammy nominations; multiple Platinum and Gold-selling CDs; two Billboard Music Awards\, two Blues Music Awards\, and two Orville H. Gibson awards. He’s performed on major late-night shows\, headlined worldwide tours\, and has toured with legendary acts such as Van Halen\, Bob Dylan\, Aerosmith\, The Rolling Stones\, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. \nShepherd’s longevity is rare for an artist who broke through so young\, rooted in a niche genre such as the blues. That could be because of Shepherd’s refusal to stand still. He’s a restless creative who has always had one foot firmly planted in the blues tradition and the other roaming the vast rock n’ roll landscape. His 12-album oeuvre (plus a pair of albums with his supergroup\, The Rides\, featuring Stephen Stills and Barry Goldberg) showcases a wildly weaving artistic continuum spanning classic and contemporary sounds. Case in point: His last album was a collaboration with 91-years-old blues icon\, Bobby Rush\, and before that he released a double album of revved up\, genre-busting blues-rock. \nThat wanderlust was evident on Ledbetter Heights\, and Shepherd revisits the 12-song collection with gusto on this faithful re- recording. The perceivable differences between the albums are a refined musicality evident in the arrangements\, and the more nuanced and intentional guitar playing\, though the fire still rages – check out the bluesy bluster on the opener\, “Born with a Broken Heart.” Only one track\, “Riverside\,” deviates significantly. Slowed down and smokier\, it brings a quiet fire vibe not found in the 1995 version. In addition\, fans will no doubt enjoy hearing longtime Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band co-vocalist Noah Hunt sing these songs. Noah has been with Shepherd for 28 years and has sung on every other album. This completes the sonic circle. Another longtime collaborator on the re-record is legendary drummer Chris “Whipper” Layton. Layton was a founding member of Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble\, and he has been with Shepherd since the original Ledbetter Heights. “I met him when I was 15\, and every night when I turn around and lock eyes with him\, I’m reminded of how incredible it is to be playing with him\,” Shepherd says. Shepherd co-produced the project with legendary producer Jerry Harrison (Live\, Big Head Todd and The Monsters\, Talking Heads)\, who has produced four KWS-albums including Trouble Is…\, and its 25th anniversary re-recording. Guitar nerds will be pleased to know Shepherd re-recorded the tracks with his original 1995 rig. “Before I could identify with the lyrics\, I always could identify with the feeling of the blues. When you pour your heart out\, everyone can feel that\,” Shepherd says. While other kids played outside\, he holed up in his room with an imitation Strat\, learning Hendrix\, ZZ Top\, and SRV licks from a cassette. He emerged a self-taught\, self- made bluesman at 13\, wowing audiences in the Louisiana area. One thing that distinguished Shepherd from other young blues guitar slingers at the time was his dedication to songcraft. Shepherd wrote or co-wrote all but four songs on his debut album. “I grew up hearing great choruses and melodies on the radio\, and I’ve appliedthat recipe to the blues\,” Shepherd says. \nSigned by legendary executive Irving Azoff at 16\, Shepherd recorded his debut while still in high school. While recording the album\, Shepherd went to school Monday through Wednesday and then drove to Memphis to track Ledbetter Heights. He squeezed in extra schoolwork between recording sessions and live gigs. He named the album Ledbetter Heights in honor of an historic neighborhood in his hometown that pays homage to another blues great and Northwest Louisiana native\, Huddie Ledbetter. The album catapulted Shepherd into the mainstream\, and as a torchbearer of the blues – something he continues to take very seriously to this day. “When I signed my first record deal\, my mission was no matter how big or small my career became\, I was going to spread the word about the music and musicians that inspire me\,” Shepherd says. He’s made good on that promise with the release of his award- winning documentary “10 Days Out; Blues From the Backroads\, scorching appearances on the Experience Hendrix tour\, film placements like Flight Risk\, and collaborations that bring the genre into new spaces. Shepherd has become one of the blues’ most consistent and credible ambassadors. \nUp next\, Shepherd and his band will be hitting the road for the Ledbetter Heights 30th Anniversary Tour. The shows will include a performance of the full 12-track album\, along with another set featuring highlights from his 30-year career. “Revisiting this album put me back in touch with the wonder and excitement of those days. I didn’t know what lay ahead\,” he reflects. “I’m so grateful for this album – it gave me everything.”
