Music reviews of 10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads)/ (CD/DVD)
Music Review: Kenny Wayne Shepherd "Blues from the Backroads" DVD
Rating: 5 Stars
This is an outstanding archival history of down-south backwoods blues, containing performances by legendary blues musicians, along with collaborations with Kennny Wayne Sheperd, Chris Layton and Tommmy Shannon
(both from Stevie Ray Vaunghn's "Double Trouble"). This is a 5 star classic blues documentary and performance DVD. It was named DVD of the year 2007, by the Blues Foundation in Memphis, TN. The performances were filmed throughout the south, on site at homes, front yards, BBQ's, a church and even a cemetary. The DVD was produced by Jerry Harrison, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and former member of the "Talking Heads".
It begins in New Orleans, with a performance of "Tina Marie" with Bryan Lee, and then a performance of "Born in Louisiana" with "GateMouth" Brown.
Then there is a performance of "Honey Tonk" with Buddy Flett filmed near Shreveport,LA at Morningport LA at the gravesite of the legendary "Leadbelly". Then its off to a BBQ in Indianola,MS the home town of B.B. King for a performance of "the Thrill is Gone". The blues journey continues to Gadsden, Al for a performance of "Potato Patch" by Jerry "Boogie" McCain. He plays great harmonica music!
Next, the blues journey is in North Carolina, the land of the Piedmont Blues, with a perfomance of "Prison Blues" with Cootie Stark and Neal
Pattman. Next, a performance of "Chapel Hill Boogie" with John Dee Holeman. Then, a performance of "U-Haul" with Cootie Stark. This a greart blues number, its about "I've searched and searched but I ain't never seen a U-Haul trailer behind a herse". There is a performance of "Knoxville Rag" with Etta Baker in her home. She speaks of the Peidmont Blues as being a "happier kinda blues".
The journey continues to St.Louis, where you get an interview with Henry Townsend. He actually played with the legendary Robert Johnson. He was originally from the Mississippi Delta. There is also an interview with Honeyboy Edwards, he was actually with Robert Johnson when he died.
Then its on to a "Blues" Church in Salina, KS, for a performance with Hubert Sumlin on guitar (Howling Wolf taught him to play without a pick),
also, George "Wild Child" Butler (of "Wolf's band) plays harmonica, and Henry Gray (of Wolf's band) plays piano and sings "Little Red Rooster". Next, the group plays "Spoonful". Then there's a performance of "Grindin Man" featuring "Pinetop Perkins" on piano and vocals and other members of "Muddy Waters' band. Then a performance of "Got my MoJo Working" by the same group.
The Dvd concludes with a summation by Kenny Wayne Sheperd along with Jerry Harrison. There are bonus performances also. This is an outstanding piece of "blues" and "american music" history. It's a 5 Star Classic.
Description of 10 Days Out (Blues from the Backroads)/ (CD/DVD)
Kenny Wayne Shepherd's reverence for his musical roots are center-stage on Ten Days Out...Blues From The Backroads, a CD+DVD package that features the guitarslinger and Double Trouble rhythm section of bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton performing with some of the greatest blues players of our time as well as lesser-known but historically significant bluesmen. Traveling to their hometowns to record everywhere from juke joints to front porches, from New Orleans to Kansas, Shepherd celebrates and becomes part of blues history with Ten Days Out...Blues From The Backroads.This "back-to-the-roots" road-trip documentary CD/DVD from blues-rocking guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd can be viewed in two ways--it's either the culmination of a long-held desire to promote and play with some unheralded blues veterans before they pass away (as six had already done since the recording was made, 2½ years before its early 2007 release) or a way to regain the blues audience Shepherd all but alienated on his artistically and commercially disappointing 2004 hard-rock release, The Place You're In. Ultimately, it succeeds on both accounts. Regardless of the project's inspiration, the results by and large justify whatever the means might have been to get this show on the road--literally and figuratively. Shepherd hit the highway for a week and a half along with producer Jerry Harrison (ex-Talking Heads), a portable studio, and backup musicians including the rhythm section from Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble. He searched out blues artists both obscure (the late guitarist Etta Baker, who plays in her kitchen, is a highlight) and better known (Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and B.B. King) for a series of acoustic and electric jams, all of which feature Shepherd--who, to his credit, generally keeps his hot-dogging tendencies in check. A closing concert featuring members of Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters' bands never quite generates the heat it should, but country bluesmen Cootie Stark, Neil Pattman, and harmonica ace Jerry "Boogie" McCain provide plenty of sparks. Shepherd seems sincere enough, but the real stars are the ageing musicians who have maintained their chops and intensity through a lifetime of performing music that clearly comes from the soul. --Hal Horowitz
