10 DAYS OUT: BLUES FROM THE BACKROADS is a CD/DVD and is the fifth release from American blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd. 10 DAYS OUT: BLUES FROM THE BACKROADS was nominated for two Grammys, Grammy Award For Best Long Form Music Video and Grammy Award For Best Traditional Blues Album at the 50th Grammy Awards and won the 2008 Blues Music Award for Best DVD and the 2008 Keeping The Blues Alive Award under the category of Film, Television or Video. 10 DAYS OUT: BLUES FROM THE BACKROADS may well be Kenny Wayne Shepherd's most important and intriguing album, even though the guitarist is hardly the featured artist on any of these tracks, working instead more as a sideman and facilitator for the impressive cast of venerable blues players who get a chance to shine here. Make no mistake about it, this recording belongs to such senior citizens as Henry Townsend, Etta Baker, Pinetop Perkins, and Henry Gray, and Shepherd's presence simply helps to focus the attention on these veteran blues players. Kenny Wayne Shepherd embarked on a ten-day journey into the American South in 2004 with a documentary film crew, a portable recording studio, and Double Trouble as a house band in an effort to catch the blues in its natural habitat of living rooms, kitchens, porches, back yards, and local watering holes, and the performances that resulted are priceless. Here is one-armed harp player Neal Pattman and blind guitarist Cootie Stark turning in a joyous, ramshackle version of "Prison Blues". A little later, Cootie Stark delivers further on a delightful song called "U-Haul", complete with a marvelous improvised rap over the tune's run-out coda. Here, too, is the then-96-year-old Henry Townsend turning in a poignant "Tears Came Rollin' Down". Etta Baker, then 93, shows that age hadn't slowed her as a guitarist at all as she delivers an elegant "Knoxville Rag". Kenny Wayne Shepherd wisely stays in the background on cut after cut, allowing these amazing musical treasures to unfold naturally and without intrusive elements. There are absolutely no hotshot guitar histrionics anywhere on this disc, which speaks to Shepherd's sincere vision for this project. He's after the preservation of blues history with 10 DAYS OUT: BLUES FROM THE BACKROADS. As if to underscore that aim, before the album and concurrent documentary film were finally completed and released in 2007, at least eleven of the featured musicians have died, adding a cultural significance to the content. Kenny Wayne Shepherd knows full well to whom this album belongs, and to his immense credit, those are the voices he lets speak the loudest. Kenny Wayne Shepherd's reverence for his musical roots are center-stage. This "back-to-the-roots" road-trip documentary CD/DVD from blues-rocking guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd can be viewed in two ways--it's either the culmination of a long-held desire to promote and play with some unheralded blues veterans before they pass away or a way to regain the blues audience. Ultimately, it succeeds on both accounts. Regardless of the project's inspiration, the results by and large justify whatever the means might have been to get this show on the road - literally and figuratively. A closing concert featuring members of Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters' bands never quite generates the heat it should, but country bluesmen Cootie Stark, Neil Pattman, and harmonica ace Jerry "Boogie" McCain provide plenty of sparks. Shepherd seems sincere enough, but the real stars are the ageing musicians who have maintained their chops and intensity through a lifetime of performing music that clearly comes from the soul.
