Straight to you - live

"This is a song album, not a blues jam production. As such, most of the songs are under seven minutes-with no fill, just taut lines and performances. There's almost no time between cuts, so this is a nearly 80-minute package of blues-rock at its finest. High energy. Astounding musicianship. Great song selection. Definitely not kid stuff. Kenny Wayne Shepherd is a full-grown man, playing the blues in ways that only somebody who has experienced life can do. Aging never sounded so good".

"Expertly produced, the recording finds the live-in-concert sweet spot that eludes so many other attempts at capturing a performance faithfully, without sacrificing quality. Crowd noise is audible but not distracting, and the mix preserves the individual members' contributions without sounding sterile, or cherry-picked. Admittedly, the band makes this rather easy through their nearly-perfect set. A ten year gap between official live offerings is a long wait, but the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band has always chosen quality over quantity. True to form, Straight To You Live stakes its claim as a candidate for best live album of 2020".
