Shepherd may only have been 18 at the time of releasing his debut album, Ledbetter Heights, but his exceptional technique marked him out as something special right away. The album was an immediate hit, topping Billboard’s blues album chart for a massive 20 weeks and eventually certifying platinum, a remarkable achievement for a debut and an even mo...
Two years after his debut, Shepherd returned with another serving of high voltage blues rock with his sophomore album, Trouble Is… It might not be a perfect album, but it is an enjoyable one, full of good time vibes and featuring some sensational guitar work from Shepherd. One of the album’s chief highlights is Somehow, Somewhere, Someway, which ro...
Of all Shepherd’s albums, 10 Days Out: Blues from the Backroads is perhaps the most intriguing, with Shepherd stepping back from the spotlight and letting his guests (who include blues legends Henry Townsend, Etta Baker, Pinetop Perkins, Cootie Stark, and Henry Gray) do all the talking. On U-Haul, blind guitarist Cootie Stark takes the lead, turnin...
Unsurprisingly, Shepherd credits Jimi Hendrix as one of his key influences. “Jimi Hendrix was instrumental in making me refuse to see any boundaries in my music. He gave me permission to try anything I wanted to try. Because that’s what he did: there was no limit to his inventiveness. His canvas stretched across the sky,”he’s told musicradar.comadd...
On 2017’s Lay It On Down, Shepherd showed he was as capable of handling soul, country, and hard rock as he was the blues. The end result is a rich, textured delight, with Shepherd delivering enough sensational solos to keep old school fans happy, but sufficient constraint to allow him to tackle the gentler numbers with aplomb. One of the key tracks...
With its big, beefy sound, funky horn section, and a wah-wah pedal guitar worthy of Mike Bloomfield, this sparkly blues number from 2017’s Lay It On Down should be considered essential listening for casual listeners and the devoted alike.
Like all of Shepherd’s albums (with the exception of 2004’s The Place You’re In), 2019’s The Traveler hit the number one spot on the Billboard Blues chart. Comprising of eight original songs and two originals, it’s a hugely enjoyable romp that finds Shepherd beefing up his classic blues-rock sound with a touch of everything from Americana and count...
After releasing Live On in 1999, Shepherd took a five-year break from recording. His time away wasn’t wasted. By the time he returned in 2004 with the album The Place You’re In, he was not only writing his own material, he was singing most of it too. With its classic guitar riffs and muscular production, it went down a storm on rock radio. Alive, a...
Shepherd has made several fine covers in his time, not least this superlative reading of Bob Dylan’s Everything is Broken. The song was already a classic even before he got his hands on it (Dylan’s output may have been hit and miss during the 1980s, but this was definitely one of the hits), but his bluesy reading elevated it to even greater heights...
