Blues From the Backroads.

Hey guys,
Just got done with Kenny Wayne Shepherd's film: 10 Days Out... Blues From the Backroads...I've got to say, there's some incredible guitar playing in that film. I had all but forgotten about Hubert Sumlin, and never was real familiar with his music, but man, at 80-something, that man can still do his thing on that Strat! :shock:

And although I've always been a fan, I almost forgot how good a player KWS is until I watched this DVD.
So, basically, I said all that to say this...If you haven't seen it, check out 10 Days Out... Blues From the Backroads.

+1 Tim, even the unknown players in that film are great. I like how Kenny takes a backseat to the other players as well, sure he busts out some great solos but he lets the featured player do their thing. It's a a documentary about southern music, not KWS.

Thanks for the heads up, Hubert Sumlin should be declared a National Treasure down there. I have to say he was one of the nicest people I everhad the privilge to meet. I hung out with him for three days back in 1970 when he was playing with the Wolf at the Colonial in Toronto, where I had the amazement of seeing him hand Jeff Beck his head on a platter lol. (long story).

Tim, Thanks for sharing. I'm sure to put this film on my list. Did I date Myself by using the word FILM? :lol:

Yeah, he definitely did a good job of 'hanging out' back in the mix...he did tear it up a few times, but certainly wanted to let the real stars shine. I was most impressed with the acoustic performance at Leadbelly's grave with Buddy Flett. I'd never heard of him before, but his voice is crazy good.

Maybe a little Danny...but I prefer the term film as well. :wink:

Wow, really? Hubert was on most of Howlin' Wolf's hit recordings. I've backed him several times.

I had heard of him and heard his music only a few times. After seeing this film though, I am a fan for sure. Just rediscovering Hubert's music makes me wish I'd seen this film earlier.

Man Tony,I need to check out your music....I've heard a couple of songs and liked them.

My respect for KWS (previously shaky and tenuous at best) increased twentyfold after watching that video.

I liked some of his music ("Blue on Black" was one of the best blues/rock songs of the late 1990s, and "Aberdeen" was a very cool--and atypical for him--song), but my overall impression of him was just another "Vaughan-a-be"...

But seeing that DVD made me see his respect for his elders as well as his ability to branch out from the SRV/Hendrix licks...that was still a part of his vocabulary and his performances, but I found out he had a "second gear."

I have to agree with you all, this DVD (and CD!) truly is a great work! I'm a fan of KWS, and I thought it was great to see all of those amazing guitar players he got to jam with -- I hope that I'm still able to play guitar when I'm in my 90's!! haha Some of the people he played along with I previously didn't know about, and was pleasantly surprised with their talent!

I thought it was great how respectful Kenny was and how he would take the back seat and just watch and learn from the blues greats. I also thought that the DVD showed how great an individual Kenny Wayne is, on a personal level. It's always nice to know your favorite musicians are good-hearted folk.

Anyway, I definitely recommend the DVD/CD set to anyone who hasn't seen this yet!!

You and me both! If I can still play a chord or two when I'm at that age, I'll be happy!
