The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band will be releasing their first ever live concert video this winter. 'Straight To You: Live' will be released on 27th November via Provogue. It will be released on DVD+CD, Blu-Ray+CD, 2LP red transparent vinyl and digitally.
'The Traveler' was released in May last year, giving the band their 8th US Billboard Blues #1 album, when they hit the road. The 'Traveler World Tour' was interrupted when the Covid-19 pandemic broke, and the world came to a standstill. This show took place at the famous Leverkusen Jazzstage for the iconic German TV show, Rockpalast on 25th November 2019.
The release of 'Straight To You: Live' comes during a time when there is no live music and the world looks a very different place to 12 months previously, and as the seven-piece Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band bow out on a phenomenal finale of Jimi Hendrix's 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return),' they wave goodbye to the cheering Leverkusen crowd and it reignites that love of live music and the hope that is to come.
Signed copies available from The Official KWS store
Watch "Diamonds andamp; Gold" taken from Straight To You: Live
On the news of the release, Kenny Wayne describes the song, "Diamonds andamp; Gold is one of my favorite songs from our 2017 release “Lay It On Down”. To me it has all the right elements. A thick groove, hooky guitar riffs and chorus, the horns... everything comes together to create a song that makes you feel good with a bit of humor in the lyrics."
