Kenny Wayne Shepherd- Blues guitarist, General Lee fan and muscle car collector

Kenny Wayne Shepherd is a pretty good Blues musician and songwriter, in fact, Guitar World placed him number three on the list of their top blues guitarists, behind BB King and Eric Clapton. Not bad for a thirty-something kid who picked up his first guitar at eight, taught himself to play and released his first platinum album Ledbetter Heights when he was only 18.  Two more platinum albums, 4 Grammy nominations and 6 Top Ten singles later, many music aficionados agree that Kenny just gets better as he matures.

One of Kenny’s off-tour passions is collector and muscle cars. He currently is a big Mopar fan, between his 1969 Charger, 1970 Duster, 1972 Charger and two late model SRT-8s, Kenny also has a pretty nice chopped and channeled 1950 Ford business coupe.

Kenny’s latest endeavor 10 Days Out: Blues from the Backroads chronicles his travels throughout the South tracking down and jamming with other renowned blues musicians such as Etta Baker, Honeyboy Edwards, Gatemouth Brown and BB King.
