DJ Hayley Interview Series Episode 3: Kenny Vaughan

WLRA Promotions Director Hayley Boyd sits down for a chat with Kenny Vaughan of Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives.

[@lindadanton-vizor2133]

Live Kenny he is such a fantastic guitar player but so nice and down to earth. Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives have to be the best band around. Every member is a genius.

[@berniesnodgrass2349]

Every dog has his day and the notoriety for Kenny is long overdue. Great to see him all over youtube playing and giving interviews.

[@JohnnyBeeDawg]

Kenny is nice as can be, and this young interviewer is too. What a thoroughly pleasant exchange. Love this.

[@dhix2388]

Kenny a subtle genius guitar player. plays excatley what the song requires. and such a humble person. One of the BEST.

[@scottscott8230]

Kenny is absolutely one of the best all-around guitarists you will ever hear

[@floridadawg9857]

Love Kenny's style... very humble and one of the best guitarist around

[@kennyvaughan4094]

I set up a Kenny Vaughan Acoustic page for all my acoustic guitar songs and got lots of likes, turns out they all thought I was this legendary Kenny Vaughan and not me. Blessed to share the name with such a humble hero!

[@mairianncullen8753]

All of the Fabulous Superlatives are musical geniuses so it is very touching to hear Kenny praise Chris Scruggs' multi-instrumentalist skills and talent like that. I love that Kenny V is still such a music fan, as well as an awesome guitarist, songwriter and singer!

[@davemilke3110]

I would probably enjoy listening to Kenny Vaughan talk about mowing his lawn - such a cool guy, with tons of great experiences and(importantly) an understated flare for bringing them to life.

[@lanehowell605]

Thanks DJ Hayley and "Cousin" Kenny Vaughn for an enlightening, wonderful interview ~!

[@davidh8928]

Impressive young interviewer. Very professional and courteous. I'm a Kenny Vaughan fan. His stories are great.

[@paulbillingham6769]

What a great interview. So informative and interesting, especially when you know how Kenny can play. Hayley did well to recognise when to not interrupt the flow, unlike a lot of other interviewers.

[@drutgat2]

Thanks. That was a great interview - so many interviewers do not listen, and they interrupt, but you, Hayley, were great, and you used what Kenney said in answer to some questions to inform your other questions. Also Kenney is a wonderful interview subject, as well as being a great guitarist.

[@johnsouth9267]

He's the most entertaining guitar player I've ever seen. And he sings good too.

[@denniswebb3992]

Another great interview with Mr. Vaughan. Great to hear the story about Chris Scruggs. He is so talented. I was so lucky to hear Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives playing the 50th Sweetheart of the Rodeo tour.

[@timdavis970]

That show was the shit. Saw them in Akron Ohio at an awesome atmospheric theater.

[@majortwang6211]

i wish i had a friend like Kenny

[@EXQCmoi]

My eye fell on him at the Lucinda Williams tour. That show is legendary.

[@ChiefThundermoon]

Thank you Cuzzin Kenny for signing my guitar in Bakersfield at Bucks place..

[@ronramsay8587]

Kenny was very generous and forthcoming, especially when the interviewer couldn't bounce off his comments that great.

[@shea086]

Great interview and great guitarist. It rang a bell with me when he talked about learning faster by playing with older more experienced musicians. That's certainly true. Your always on your toes and not getting held back by bad slow learners.

[@randybolt1021]

I bumped into Kenny at a Colorado State Park the other day. A very humble nice man! He had a Martin D-41 with him and I am so thankful that I didn't ask him if I could play it!

[@dionst.michael1482]

I've loved this guy for years. One of the biggest underrated country pickers in the industry as far as I'm concerned. And that's just one of his many talents. He's so damn kewl

[@WillyPDX94]

Coming late to the party, but I'm always glad to find a KV interview I haven't seen. I loved the way he explained some of his musical references. I'm just a few years older than Kenny myself and all the musicians and singers he mentioned were ones in my life as well. But I also like it when he references something I'm not familiar with or have largely forgotten. I pause the video and go look it up on KZbin. He's definitely turned me on to some people I would not otherwise have paid attention to. Lovely interview.

[@andyinoregon]

Right there with you, Will.

[@sundownsigns]

Wonderful interview of a wonderful guitar player.

[@JeffCrowell11]

Nice interview of a fascinating artist. Thank you.

[@bsherbine]

kenny vaughn is the absolute man! what a player

[@joyceb.sachsesachse1242]

Love Kenny , he is so special and to play with Marty for so long , must be great and so happy that Marty won a well deserved awards. This band is the real deal and was Bakersfield sound way before Dwight. This band is so good and love them like the Hacienda Brothers , another band that never get it's rewards for their Texas sound country music..

[@stringbender57]

Thanks to 'WLRA' and DJ Hayley for having 'Kenny Vaughan' on. Great job Hayley! Kenny is such a cool laid back guy and one of the most solid guitar players in Nashville. I really enjoyed hearing his stories. I didn't have a clue his dad was friends with the famous jazz great 'Johnny Smith' and as such Kenny knew him too! I hope to meet Kenny now that I live near Nashville.

[@marybattiata9463]

Wow - what a terrific interview - really enjoyable and I learned a lot, too. Hats off to the people on both sides of the mic.

[@danmcmahon8566]

Wonderful interview. I'm so glad I saw this. Thanks, Kenny and Hayley. I appreciated his honesty and sincerity and how detailed he was about his influences and background.

[@rhapsody5876]

Great interview Hayley..Kenny rocks, and talks well too ..!

[@toastoftowne1076]

Kenny is by far the best entrainment on the internet.

[@ChiefThundermoon]

The best group of guys i ever met and FUN,they have fun playing and it draws in the audience,i had a friggin blast!!

[@ianlearningcom]

Great interview.

[@MonteD1]

Love Kenny's work. He has high praise for Chris Scruggs.

[@helmsleyy]

Thanks...................................

[@harlanclayton1761]

1 of my top 3 musicians...Met him and the band after one of their gigs here in NE FL....I was awestruck and enjoyed their performance....The most talented band hands down out and about performing currently....👍🥰👍

[@weehudyy]

" The Great Credibility Scare ... Steve Earl and the Dukes , Rosanne Cash , the O'Kanes , Lyle Lovett ... On the radio ... having hits . Then Garth Brooks came along and wiped it out ". .. hey , Lucinda Williams did some pretty amazing s**t too ... Love Cousin Kenny

[@bobdowling3083]

Love this,brilliant guy!!!!

[@martinhanley9524]

Great band the superlatives - really good and eclectic

[@edspengeman8621]

Great video. Thanks

[@paulbcote]

Great interview! Thanks.

[@leonnaveaux9414]

An amazing player !!!!

[@tedszweb5268]

It’s funny , Kenny is talking about Merle Haggard & I was first turned on to Kenny when I went to see Merle Haggard & Marty Stuart’s Band was playing with him. Kenny really stood out that night & Ive been a fan of his since.

[@talbotsplace7316]

Kenny V is a goldmine of music history and a great player. A note for the interviewer, suggestion: put a foam glove over your mic to cut the sharper edge off your voice. (Some of us have had to do that playing in bands)

[@fredderf6208]

Hey! Late to the show but great interview. Thanks so much. Love Kenny’s guitar playing. Just saw them recently and they were killing’ it, The Kessler in Dallas.

[@iamryanman]

Legend

[@andyinoregon]

First saw Kenny in concert with The Sweethearts of the Rodeo in late July 1987 at the Washington County Fair in Hillsboro, Oregon. I went to the autograph table after the show and asked Janis and Kristine where they found that great picker with the Buddy Holly glasses. They laughed and said, "We stole him from Denver, Colorado!"

[@direwolf6234]

was comforting to hear that he experienced the grateful dead and knew they knew music....

[@felineth56]

Outstanding guitar playing! Plus I like that he got the the same last name as Jimmy Vaughan another favorite of mine!

[@douglaschristmann7053]

He mentions my sister's ex, Ken Whitney, and true that we did call him "Cousin Kenny". And if I'm not mistaken I think his Dad was a Ken as well (RIP). Keep on rippin' it up Cousin Kenny!

[@davedinkins5082]

Splendid

[@independencemp3]

Kenny’s Right On

[@HootNightowl]

Cousin Kenny is what I would call, " humbly cool". I just made that up, like just now. He seems like a just genuine good guy. Would love to just "shoot the bull", with him.

[@HootNightowl]

"Then Garth Brooks came along & wiped it out". Too funny!

[@DavidSmith-ss1cg]

About that time I heard that someone asked Texas humorist Kinky Freedman about Garth Brooks, and he said that Garth Brooks was "The Anti-Hank."😄🤠

[@jeffreybiscoe6]

Two thumbs up to the lady interviewer. Finally someone who lets the artist talk without interruptions.

[@randersson3672]

Another amazing musician who is a down to earth great guy, problem is they are getting old..the few that is still around....

[@Tonetwisters]

Miss Hayley, you are so cute, and I love your T-shirt. Kenny is a fab player and performer, to say the least.

[@johnmitchelljr]

A super great player who is naturally worth listening to. Watch his clip about Jerry Lee Lewis. Great interview , thank you.

[@SeeCSeesCC]

❤️ I think I love Kenny Vaughn.

[@dorothygillespie4466]

Nope. I DO!!😄😅😘

[@davymedd753]

Coolest guitar slinger on the planet

[@robertscoggin]

Cool that he dared basically say Garth Brooks ended the credibility era 😆

[@rutledgeleland2538]

Wes Montgomery is a good choice / favorites are silly no limits !

[@NoCoverCharge]

Kenny is the man…harry stinson is awesome drummer

[@rickstrandberg6398]

Wow, Kenny and marty , and chris is better!?

[@drumminsonlive9199]

A very nice young man…

[@Troy1g]

I want to take lessons from Kenny and I have been playing for 30 years

[@paulcowart3174]

Cool guy... helluva picker too Wonder if he ran into Tommy Bolin in Colorado

[@semilivesixstringstrumist5595]

If you think the Beatles wrote all those songs, IDK what to tell you.

[@richardlanahan8089]

Great credibility scare, yes music not made just to make money.

[@joblo6394]

when you gotta throw away yer cowboy boots cause they stink, that’s shitty

[@joblo6394]

great interview….Kenny’s a true superlative 🙌🏼🙏🏼
