Review

Kenny Wayne Shepherd's second album, "Trouble Is...", released in 1997, radiates with the young guitarist's immense talent and fiery passion. This record marks an early outing for the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, featuring the soulful vocals of Noah Hunt. It's a masterwork of blues rock, paying homage to legends through heartfelt covers of Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix, while delivering powerful original compositions.

A true highlight is "Blue on Black," which soared to the top of the Mainstream Rock chart and secured a spot on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also boasts hits like "Slow Ride", "Somehow, Somewhere, Someway", and Bob Dylan’s “Everything Is Broken". Jerry Harrison’s polished production ensures every note and nuance shines, capturing the essence of each blues-infused track. With its well-deserved Gold and Platinum certifications, "Trouble Is..." stands as a timeless blend of classic blues and modern rock, a treat for aficionados of either genre. - Micah
