180 gram vinyl.<br/><br/>It's 2017, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd is reaching unstoppable momentum - the proof is all over his eighth solo album, Lay It On Down. As a renowned hot-rodder, it's apt that Shepherd's musical career has no reverse gear. Awards, acclaim and platinum album sales flash by in a blur, vanishing in the rear-view mirror. For this questing musician, the focus is always the horizon, the next challenge, the new songs, the crowd out front stamping their feet. "We're still breaking new ground, not just repeating ourselves," notes the standard-bearer for modern blues. "Every album is representative of the things that are going on with me right now. Every album is another page in the book."<br/><br/>True to the brief, Lay It On Down is a tracklisting that runs the musical gamut, with songs that will be embraced by Shepherd's long-standing fans, alongside moments that strike out in fresh directions. "There's certain songs on this album that I think have balls and rock pretty hard," he nods. "Like Baby Got Gone, Ride Of Your Life and Down For Love. Those songs have what a lot of people will expect to hear from me and my band. Blazing guitar, rocking grooves, aggressive playing and stuff. But I wanted there to be a variety of textures and grooves and feelings and emotions conveyed through this record. So Nothing But The Night, I don't know what you'd compare that to. It doesn't sound like any other song we've ever recorded. It's a smoky, vibey kind of song."

180 gram vinyl.<br/><br/>Five-time Grammy-nominated multi-platinum selling blues/rock guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd has announced the release of his new record Goin' Home, to be released on May 5, 2014 through the Mascot Label Group. The new album is an exploration into the music of Shepherd's biggest influences and features guest performances by some of Shepherd's friends (who also happen to be some of the greatest musicians performing today), including Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh, Warren Haynes, Keb' Mo', Robert Randolph, Kim Wilson (Fabulous Thunderbirds), Pastor Brady Blade, Sr. and the Rebirth Brass Band. <br/> <br/>The album features songs originally recorded by some of Shepherd's heroes such as B.B. King, Albert King, Bo Diddley, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Lee Dorsey and many other icons of the Blues. He reached deep into their catalogs and chose songs that inspired him when he was learning to play the guitar. "The end result is a great recording that I believe pays homage to the spirit of the original music," says Shepherd, "At the same time, it shows our appreciation for the musicians and genre that have inspired us to make music for decades."

Svart 180 gram vinyl.<br/><br/>En hyllning till the British Blues Explosion, med otroliga versioner av låtar av Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck och Jimmy Page! Joe Bonamassa hyllade sina brittiska blues-hjältar på en kort 5-dagars turné i Storbritannien. Denna inspelning gjordes på Greenwich Music Time vid The Old Royal Naval College i Greenwich, London den 7 juli, 2016.<br/> <br/>Den brittiska bluesen är den musik som mest kommit att influera Joe Bonamassa. Redan vid unga år fastnade han för den råa och skitiga musiken som spelades i Storbritannien i mitten av sextiotalet. Särskilt fastnade han för de egensinniga och innovativa gitarristerna och då framför allt de tre tungviktarna Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck och Jimmy Page. Han hyser den djupaste respekt för vad de har åstakommit. <br/> <br/>Joe Bonamassas kärlek till den brittiska blues-rocken är själva hjärtat i all den musik som inspirerat honom och för första gången fick han tillfälle att visa sin aktning och respekt för alla dessa artister men främst då Clapton, Beck och Page.<br/> <br/>I femmannabandet ingick Michael Rhodes (bas), Reese Wynans (klaviaturer), Anton Fig (trummor) och Russ Irwin (kompgitarr och stämsång).<br/> <br/>Joe Bonamassa anser det nödvändigt att lyfta fram dessa fantastiska musiker för framtida generationers bluesartister. "Om det inte vore för dessa brittiska bluesmusiker så skulle nog inte bluesen haft den stora inverkan på rockmusiken som den har idag och skulle kanske rent av förpassats till historieböckerna," säger Bonamassa.
