About this episode

Cutter interviews Kenny Wayne Shepherd about his career and the 30th anniversary of his debut album.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd is by far one of the most prolific modern blues musicians and one of the few that have had crossover hit songs on rock radio. 32 years ago he released his debut album Ledbetter Heights to huge success, and remember this is the album before his timeless mainstay "Blue on Black." Featuring hit radio songs "Deja Voodoo" and "Aberdeen" it reasonated with millions of people at a time when hair metal had faded and grunge was all the rave. Now 30 years later Kenny has been on the road playing the album from start to finish and put out a re-recorded version called Ledbetter Heights (30th Anniversary Sessions). This conversation was also recorded for my morning show WAPL Mornings With Laura Lee & Cutter along with my show The Cutting Edge Countdown, so Laura joined me for the talk and Kenny has some nice words for his history with the station WAPL.
