Two years after this material was recorded, Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s latest release finally landed on the shelf in January. The sole purpose of this release was to preserve the heritage of blues music and document some blues legends of our time. Six of the artists that performed on this release have since passed on. Many other reviews and reviewers have missed the whole purpose of this project and have not given the producers and filmmakers of this project the credit they also deserve. For me, this would have been the ultimate road trip, traveling for ten days and visiting with and playing with local legends of the blues at every stop.

Kenny Wayne does an exceptional job of playing alongside these musicians and not soaking up the spotlight. I highly recommend watching the DVD first to fully understand what transpired during these ten days on the road, it really puts things into perspective about the whole project. Highlights of the DVD include visits in blues musicians homes (our beloved Henry Townsend with special guest Honeyboy Edwards), concerts with remaining members of Howlin’ Wolf’s Band and The Muddy Waters Band, a performance with B.B. King during his annual homecoming and an acoustic jam with Buddy Flett at Leadbelly’s grave. I give this package above and beyond a 5 out of 5 on my STLBluesometer.
