Kenny Wayne Shepherd - 10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads)/ (CD/DVD)

What is left to say?

I initially wasn't going to add anything to this heavily reviewed item except to note that there is a reason this project generated so much buzz. Now that many of the artists featured are deceased, it reinforces how valuable the effort was and how noble the intent. I bought this package along with "Live On", and listened to that one first. Wasn't really enthused about it, decided to not review it. Then I watched "10 Days Out" and have had the CD in my truck ever since. Make sure to watch the Extras on the DVD as well, to catch Kenny and Buddy Flett light off a smokin' version of Flett's "Dance For Me Girl". Also - as an aside, I am getting to see BB later this month at age 82. If it wasn't for this DVD, I really wouldn't have appreciated how much this is an opportunity that must not be missed. It isn't very often that an artist puts something out that leaves you feeling grateful. Thanks to all involved. July 5, 2008

music review

Awesome cd. Great music. If you love the blues buy this cd. you won't be sorry. June 30, 2008

excellent music - fascinating musicians

I listened to the CD portion of this set first, in the car, and really enjoyed it. Then, as I later had time to watch the DVD, knew that I'd enjoy the CD even more when I could visualize the musicians making it. Kenny Wayne and the video guys obviously had a good time doing it, and their respect for the blues musicians (very few of which I had previously heard of) is obvious. Then, to hear these men (and one woman) talking about making music for 30, 40, 60 years - however long - is fascinating. It kinda makes you catch your breath and say, 'Wow!' The jams you get to see and hear are what getting blues musicians together is all about. Awesome CD / DVD set. June 21, 2008

great music

I thoroughly enjoy this CD, being able to hear some great blues singers that may not be around much longer. Thanks to KWS for taking the time to go and see these people. June 4, 2008

10 days out kenny wayne shepherd

This was one of the best pieces of history I have seen in a very long time. Many of the blues players interviewed will not be with us much longer, and Mr. Shepherd captured true living history. It is not necessary to be into the blues music to appreciate this DVD and CD. It is America at it's finest moments and some embarassing moments. May 27, 2008
