Many, many moons ago. I fell in love with him shortly after I did Jonny Lang. These guys are so awesome!!! It was after Trouble Is... came out and he was just a kid (just like Jonny). Not a bad song on that album. Noah Hunt is a fantastic vocalist.

My favorite Kenny album is Ledbetter Heights (the first album). It actually had Corey Sterling as the lead singer on this one.

My favorite Kenny songs are:

Blue On Black (of course)
Deja Voodoo
Shame, Shame, Shame
The Place You're In
Born With A Broken Heart
Trouble Is
In 2 Deep
Shotgun Blues
Believe

And when he does some of the old blues standards like Red Rooster & The Thrill Is Gone.... he's amazing!!!

Little trivia---did you know he's married to Mel Gibson's daughter? They have 3 kids.

Here's a picture of a poster I have had for years of him & Jonny from Guitar magazine. It was probably 1995 or 1996?

Don't know him very well, but 2 songs I really like are Blue on Black and Somewhere, Somehow, Someway. Also his new one: Come On Over.

I wanted to see him in Springfield (IL) on the 15th but from what I see - tix are sold out. He was playing with Robert Cray.

I love KWS' music. I've talked to him via Twitter a few times about guitar stuff and he was the one that turned me onto a particular guitar pedal that I can't live without now (Analog Man King Of Tone for those wondering. :hilarious:).

Yeah, the name of the ticket vendor is probably Let's Sell This Ticket And Make A Buck, or something like that. :eyebrow: :hilarious:

Have a great time Austin!

For those that didn't see my Facebook mini-review - it was KILLER!!! KWS stole the show and was the highlight of the night for me. He went on first and IMO that was a mistake on Cray's part because no one could top the intensity that KWS brought. I haven't seen anything like it since SRV.

Here's one pic for now! I have all of them on FB though.
