Interesting...
It kind of resembles Jonny Lang's recent shift in that the style is completely different. I find it rather interesting that a guitarist with such a fantastic blues style and huge following would change directions so drastically. Don't get me wrong, the music is good, its just that it isn't what his fans are used to hearing from him and it gets lost in a sea of other artists that have a similar sound. A good comparison would be a recent Jonny Lang concert that I attended at which he barely played his guitar and the music was largely unrecognizable due to the artist making "creative changes". If you are a blues fan like me than you'll probably agree that we can only hope that both of these artists will someday find their way back to the blues roots that made them famous. .


Not without Noah Hunt's vocals
He just should not put any album without Noah Hunt's vocals. Kenny is a great artist. Together, they have a great chemistry to create amazing music and Noah's vocals is what make it to work for them.


KWS "THE PLACE YOU'RE IN"
BUT IT WAS A GOOD EFFORT AND A GREAT LOOK. THIS CD IS GOOD-MUSIC IS OUTSTANDING-BUT KENNY WAYNE NEEDS TO STICK TO THE GUITAR!! HIS VOCALS ARE OK, BUT, ONCE YOU'VE HEARD THE KWS BAND-YOU WILL WANT TO HEAR NOAH HUNT ON VOCALS.


Open your mind to great music
This is a great blues-inspired rock album. Obviously, the majority of reviewers for this album are fans of the blues, not fans of Kenny Wayne Shephard or good music in general. I could have done without the Kid Rock song, but everything else is totally solid. There is plenty of the soulful playing that made KWS a star, it's just that most of the songs are a little more upbeat. I like blues and rock, so I think this is a phenomenal album that steered KWS away from the rut into which he had been settling. .


What Could of Been
The blues, totally gone and as far as a rock effort goes its not bad. I hate to criticize music, seems to be too many people doing so and its all quite subjective anyway but I was confused as to what direction Kenny is going on this disc. However, Kenny taking over most of the vocals duties from Noah was a serious mistake. Kenny's voice is alright but it lacks that distinction that makes Noah's vocals stand out. I think if he wanted to release a rock album he should of called it by another name because fans of the blues are going to miss out big time on this disc. .
