Kenny Wayne Shepherd exploded onto the blues rock scene in the 1990s with a sound steeped in the Texas blues tradition. Shepherd’s Stratocaster tone, soaked in reverb and overdrive, brings out the best of his aggressive, high-energy playing. Shepherd’s style, heard on tracks like “Blue on Black,” combines the fire of Stevie Ray Vaughan with his own melodic sensibility, creating a sound that balances power and finesse. “Blue on Black” is one of the biggest hits a blues rock artist has ever written and still gets lots of radio play.
