The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band returns with LAY IT ON DOWN, the group’s first effort since 2014’s Goin’ Home, and the first batch of original material since 2011’s How I Go. From start to finish, LAY IT ON DOWN delivers blues rock of the highest quality. Kenny Wayne Shepherd is already considered to be at the forefront of contemporary blues. Kenny applied his talents to writing by woodshedding with several prominent Nashville hit song-writing teams. Marrying these songs with his trademark guitar-playing will help expand his already growing base. In January 2017, The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band went into the studio to record a new album of all newly written songs titled LAY IT ON DOWN and released the album on 21st July 2017 in Europe on Mascot Label Group and on 4th August 2017 in US. LAY IT ON DOWN is the eighth record by The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band to debut at No. One on the Billboard Blues Chart. This album absolutely delivers. Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Noah Hunt pretty evenly split lead vocal duties on this album, and you'll really notice an improvement in Kenny's vocal style. Noah's contributions are excellent. Chris Layton is as crisp as ever, and newcomers to the band Kevin McCormick and Jimmy McGorman make their mark as well.
PERSONNEL: Kenny Wayne Shepherd - guitar, vocals; Noah Hunt - vocals; Chris "Whipper" Layton - drums; Kevin McCormick - bass; Jimmy McGorman - keyboards; Marshall Altman - additional keys, percussion, backing vocals; Russ Pahl - pedal steel guitar; Carlos Sosa - saxophone; Raul Vallejo - trombone; Paul Armstrong - trumpet.
LAY IT ON DOWN feels like an intentional retort to Goin' Home, Kenny Wayne Shepherd's 2014 back-to-the-blues platter. Although Shepherd never abandons the blues, either as a color or a sensibility, he expands his palette considerably on this 2017 album, opening himself up to soul, country, and hard rock. Kenny Wayne Shepherd takes pains to make LAY IT ON DOWN feel like a classic rock record, recording on analog and keeping its ten tracks weighing in at a tight forty one minutes. Another old-fashioned hallmark flaunted on LAY IT ON DOWN is how the focus is on vibe, Shepherd digging into the grooves even when the song is a sepia-toned bit of folk-rock. Naturally, there is plenty of space for chops and solos, but Shepherd shows restraint, riding the rhythms of his Southern soul vamps, nocturnal riffs, backwoods picking, and gospel ballads. This variety, when melded with such tasteful execution, turns LAY IT ON DOWN into not only one of Shepherd's richest records but one of his best. With this being the first batch of original material from the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band in six years expectations were high. Consider those expectations exceeded. LAY IT ON DOWN runs the gamut of modern day blues rock with its great songs, playing, and variety. LAY IT ON DOWN is blues rock at its finest and a strong album of the year contender. Limited Edition includes acoustic bonus track.
