Kenny Wayne ShepherdDirt on My Diamonds

Blistering blues-rock guitar with a Southern strut, all distortion and long, singing sustain that nods to Hendrix and Stevie Ray without aping either. The title track snarls and swaggers, while 'Sweet & Low' digs into a slow, smoky burn that lets the tone hang in the air. Recorded live in the room, the band locks tight and Shepherd solos over the top with the ease of someone who's been at this since sixteen. Crank it and let the amps breathe.
