Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band's 'Lay It On Down' out Today on Concord Records
By: Caryn Robbins Aug. 04, 2017
Recorded at Echophone Studios in Shepherd's hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana and produced by Shepherd with Marshall Altman (Matt Nathanson, Natasha Bedingfield, Kate Voegele), the album was largely recorded live in the studio to analog tape. "Diamonds & Gold," the latest single off Lay It On Down, recently premiered via Guitar Player. Additionally, Billboard premiered the record's title track, while CMT Music premiered the video for the album's first single, "Baby Got Gone."
Shepherd will celebrate the album's release with a U.S. tour that kicks off August 9 in Westbury, NY. See below for a list of dates; additional shows to be announced shortly.
Lay It On Down finds Shepherd two decades into a recording career that began when he was 16. Shepherd has sold millions of albums worldwide and, in addition to his five Grammy nominations, he has won two Billboard Music Awards, a pair of Orville H. Gibson awards, the Blues Foundation's Keeping The Blues Alive award and two Blues Music awards. He's had six #1 blues albums and a string of #1 mainstream rock singles, and his acclaimed documentary project 10 Days Out: Blues from the Backroads was the top-selling blues album of 2007. Shepherd's last release, 2014's Goin' Home (Concord Records), debuted at #25 on Billboard's Top 200 chart and spent several weeks at #1 on the Billboard Blues chart.
