Description:

Personnel: Kenny Wayne Shepherd (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar); Noah Hunt, Kid Rock (vocals); Marti Frederiksen (guitar, Hammond b-3 organ, keyboards, bass guitar, percussion, background vocals); Mikal Reid (guitar); Jim Cox (piano, Clavinet, Hammond b-3 organ); Brian Tichy (drums); Pat Hodges (background vocals).
Saddled with the "blues wunderkind" tag since breaking on the music scene with 1995`s LEDBETTER HEIGHTS at age 18, Kenny Wayne Shepherd used a five-year hiatus that began in `99 as a step to the next level. The result is 2004`s THE PLACE YOU`RE IN, a project helmed by producer Marti Frederiksen that takes more of a hard-rock approach, a move sure to surprise some of Shepherd`s diehard blues fans. The album also marks the first time Shepherd sings over the course of an entire record.
Despite theses changes of tack, the Louisiana native`s string-bending skills are still something to hear, from the very Lenny Kravitz-like funk of "Be Mine" to the Blue Cheer-y instrumental "A Little Bit More." The quality of Shepherd`s singing is impressive, thanks to smooth phrasing that works particularly well on the soulful, piano-based "Hey, What Do You Say" and "Spank," a funky strut that doubles as a Kid Rock duet. Longtime fans will be relieved to discover Shepherd`s former vocalist Noah Hunt putting in cameos, both on the soaring "Believe" and pleading power-ballad "Burdens."
