ironwoods Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Hi, we don't listen to the music per se, but our Klipsch speakers.... so it's all "good". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpm Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 WTF? You saying you're all about the sound of the speakers and not the music being played. Sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirsty Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Kenny Wayne Shepard has good music.....Southern rock Blues. But Stevie ray Vaughan was the best if you like that type of music.....he may have been one of the best guitarists ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjgeraci Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I agree with Thirsty. Shepherd jams in that style of music, but SRV was the master. If you want the understudy, buy KWS. If you want the teacher, pick up Stevie Ray Vaughn. Oh, some of the immortals died so young. One of the biggest guitar tragedies that I can think of (along with Hendrix and Rhodes). Carl. P.S. Notwithstanding the above, Shepherd still put out some quality stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 KWS is good. He has a few albums, but does not sing, for that reason along, although his guitar style is like SRV there is no comparision. His first or first two albums had a different front man then his last. Blue on Black is one of my favorites of his, again not his voice, he wrote it and played guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpm Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 I have all of Stevie Ray's stuff (that I'm aware of anyway), but Stevie is dead, so I think I'll pick up some of Shepherd's stuff for a listen. Thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpm Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Nupe, don't have that one. I only have a straight CDP, not SACD. Bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbsl Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 JPM find the SACD 'In Sessions' w/ Albert King and SRV' and look on the back to see if it will play in a regular cd player. Some SACDs will play in a regular player so maybe this one will. Xman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-malotky Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I've been listening to Bryan Lee lately. Give that a listen. His solo stuff is not as flashy as SRV, a bit more old school guts with a touch of flash. Excellent blues story teller. There is one CD out, cant remember the name, but it was recorded the last weekend before the closed the Absenth house in New Orleans. Has Kenny Wayne and Frank M as guests. Good stuff.

scotbuck Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Greetings, I saw KWS open for B.B. King some years back. He struck me as being a poor man's Stevie Ray Vaughn; as such, I wasn't overly impressed. I'd recommend spending your $$$ on SRV albums instead (and then get some Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, T-Bone Walker, John Lee Hooker.......... ) Take care, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ears Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 KWS's best album is Ledbetter Heights, named after the neighborhood where SRV grew up in Oak Cliff, Texas, it's his tribute to SRV. He is from Shrevport, LA and his father was in the biz (promoter, I think) I also think his best song is Blue on Black. If you want some fresh but kickin blues, give Walter Trout a spin. I made a post about his DVD here: http://forums.klipsch.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=68938&forumID=86&catID=24&search=1&searchstring=&sessionID={5521DEA1-FC6A-4ADE-8DE2-31E99A5526E1} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codhead Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Johnny Lang is another if you're into the Blues/Southern Rock sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg928gts Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I was just going to suggest Johnny Lang, but I see codhead has it covered. Lang's cd's are very good sounding by the way. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 "Just checking but do you have 'In Sessions' w/ Albert King and SRV?, its available in SACD. Another worthwhile pick up if you don't." It's also available on CD. I have the SACD and the CD. The SACD is worth the upgrade. This is one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolbyscat Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Both KWS and johnny Lang make for some good listening IMHO,if the blues is what your into,as i am,then you'll certainly find they hit the spot.Sure there not BB, Buddy or SRV, but a lot of those same old masters heap plenty of praise on these young pretenders,and for good reason.Also when you listen to LedBetter Heights's all the more amazing to think that KWS was around sixteen years old at the time.I've been playing the blues for 35 years,i'd like to sit down for just 35 minutes with either one of em.

mikea57 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 If you like Blues Rock, check out Buddy Guy. He's not as much rock and heavier Blues, but he is one hell of a playa!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Tab Benoit is also another good choice. Blues and touch of zydico. Good singing voice, slightly raspy, and great guitar player. The albums I have of his are also very well recorded (Telarc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 You might try Debbie Davies...Robert Cray...Johnny Taylor,,,Joss Stone...a few i like to listen to.Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
