LIVE! IN CHICAGO is a blues album by Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band. It was recorded live during The Blues From The Backroads Tour and released on 27th September 2010. Life came full circle when Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his band assembled several generations worth of blues legends at the House Of Blues in Chicago. Though an illness nearly kept Kenny Wayne Shepherd from performing that night, his heartfelt commitment to the music and quite a lot of adrenaline ensured that he took the stage, sharing with the audience one of the most spectacular performances of his career. In addition to his regular touring band, which includes two members of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Double Trouble, Shepherd is joined on stage by bluesmen Bryan Lee and Buddy Flett, legendary Howlin’ Wolf guitarist Hubert Sumlin, and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith, who is best known for his stint as the drummer in Muddy Waters’ band. That Shepherd is able to hold his own on a stage with this company is a feat in and of itself. That he still manages to be the “star” of the show is nothing short of spectacular. Over the course of the fourteen-track album Kenny Wayne Shepherd and vocalist Noah Hunt rip through five originals and nine covers by the likes of B.B. King, Jimmy Reed, Howlin’ Wolf, and Slim Harpo. But regardless of the material what really shines throughout the record is the amazing keyboard playing of Riley Osburn and the guitar mastery of Kenny Wayne Shepherd himself, who easily ranks among the best electric players working today. Ultimately, LIVE! IN CHICAGO is a must-have for those who are already Kenny Wayne Shepherd fans, but it also has the potential to win over scores of new fans. It’s a fun, passionate document of the type of show we all wish we were at and it could be the best pure guitar album in years.

First off, Kenny Wayne Shepherd was 33 years old at the release of this album, so he’s not a kid playing hot guitar anymore, he’s a grown man doing it. But over the years he’s also learned that the blues isn’t just about blazing lead licks, it’s also about letting the song say its say - and on LIVE! IN CHICAGO he does that. This is a concert full of songs and not just a bunch of guitar leads broken up by someone singing for a bit. Shepherd is also fully aware of the history of the blues and he honors of his heroes here and he doesn’t step all over them with his guitar playing - he supports them. The concert grew out of the tour Shepherd put together in support of 10 Days Out: Blues From The Backroads project, a documentary and album that featured Shepherd traveling around the country on a ten day trip interviewing and playing with icons from the blues world, making this show, recorded at the House Of Blues in Chicago, a kind of culmination. This isn’t just about the blues - it’s about living to play it. The whole disc is really of a piece, but among the highlights are a jaunty version of B.B. King's "Sell My Monkey", the blues ballad “Deju Voodoo” and the scorching take on Slim Harpo's “I’m A King Bee” which closes things out. This isn’t a live album from some teenaged savant - it’s an album from a grown man proud and honored to be playing the blues with some of his heroes.
