Kenny Wayne Shepherd "Voodoo Child" | Live

[@MicrosoftsourceCode]

For some reason I never tire of hearing modern groups playing Hendrix tunes live. This was an excellent version.

[@rickpoker]

absolutely amazing.!anyone that doesnt like this has never picked up a guitar and tried to play!

[@sallie46]

I saw KWS last year, and personally, I think both Jimi and Stevie would say 'well done, little brother'!

[@ryanmedic789]

I called into DAWG FM today (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) and I was lucky enough to win a "meet and greet with KWS - SWEEEEEEEEEETTT!!

[@artiert5224]

When I first heard KWS play live, I thought I was hearing SRV reborn. How can so many IDIOTS espouse such a dislike of someone who covers another artist? To me, that's an honor to the artist. I've said it before: if you think the cost of education is high, consider the price of ignorance. Long Rock KWS!

[@syndesamtransformers-alia3664]

thats not srv not a little bit nobody can be srv or play like him

[@artiert5224]

syndesam transformers-alia I did NOT say it WAS SRV. In case you can't read......

[@Luckydan050]

Kenneth Wayne Shepherd is an incredible, powerful blues guitarist. Nuff said.

[@MusicDude86]

Noah Hunt is such a great, soulful singer. Kick ass rendition from the guys!!!!

[@nathanneider5860]

As a wana be vocaliest. Always been jelious of his hard tight pipes

[@rockhaze]

I'm a huge critic of anyone who attempts these legendary songs, and even by my high snobbish standards, this guy is great. You cannot deny that he is very talented.

[@precbsfender]

Agreed! Kenny did a damn good job.

Kws is a nature force. He plays with taste and passion. A true bluesman! Those who critizise him are a bunch of envious punks.

[@empereurjustinien2082]

Armando Pace man i saw this guy live he was facemelting

[@perboirmoreirafilho]

Saw him live in 2011 in New Orleans. The guy was supposed to play for just an hour and fifteen minutes, but, instead, he gave us two and a half hours of pure energy. If Kevin Shirley was associated with him.....

[@mikebaker3932]

Love Kenny's style. I have a signed guitar and pick he handed to me. I was in the front row.

[@mikebaker3932]

Kenny just shreds a guitar.

Am I the only one who got an adrenaline rush off this?.....Kenny definitely has "it"!....Thanks to guys like him, Jimi's music will forever be played, heard and honored...

Best blues guitarist alive, hands down!!!

[@rkatz0]

Man it's great to see someone younger playing this stuff so well!

[@darkhorse651]

KWS is one of a kind thanks for keeping the blues alive and having not only a knowledge of the past but an appreciation for it

[@bluecollarwelding2215]

All the people who say Kenny is "copying" srv, I'd like to see you get up there and do that. Bet you can't. Have some respect for the guy.

[@professormusica1109]

You don't get it do you? Guitarists give cred when due. SRV always did re: Jimi, Clapton does re: Muddy and Freddie King. KWS seldom does. If YOU played guitar you'd see how much he's copied the man. RIP SRV

[@ciaranw520]

I actually don't think he is copying SRV so much at all, sure there are a few of his licks in there but what good blues guitarist post SRV doesn't steal a few of his licks, he was a genius. I actually think there's lot of Hendrix's studio licks in here for note, you don't hear them from many other people, they tend to do their own live improv stuff but this is a really nice mix of great licks and is unique. I'd never seen this guy until today and I'm love Jimi and SRV to bits, but this guy gets my respect too today.

[@JohnMiller-so7ry]

Ciaran Williams Well said.

[@nathanneider5860]

Its awsome to see and hear a child that grew up a man. Following such fantastic chops as S R V

[@brianbyrum5213]

Stevie taught Kenny how to play and took him off the streets after he ran away from home with only his guitar. He's not copying, he's paying tribute to SRV and Jimi.

[@mikegottschau4224]

Kenny Wayne is amazing. Stevie Ray and Jimi would be proud

[@chrissams65]

This is the best version of of Voodoo child. I have ever heard including Jimi

[@frankmoody-thefrank-9473]

It's srv's 😄. Love every version, this guy rocks

[@ErroneousTheory]

Certainly one of the best living blues players out there.

[@jacobtarring2455]

Can I just clarify, I think this version of this song is awesome, i've never said it sucks. I'm lost with all the comments. I don't play the guitar so i can't say whether technically this is good, but, what i hear in my ears sounds fucking amazing, that is all.

[@precbsfender]

Its hard to believe that Jimi wrote Voodoo Child almost fifty years ago, his brilliant and masterful licks are absolutely timeless..

[@williamdowling5833]

Him, SRV, and Jimmi Hendrix are the most talented musicians to ever live.

[@davidfarris894]

Along with Santana,Eric Clapton,Alvin Lee,Roy Buchanan,BB King,etc.

[@jacobtarring2455]

I can't believe all the negative comments about this.....some people really don't understand music do they. They say they do, but I bet they just research it via Google or something to make themselves look like they know what they are talking about. Anyone can use Google, try using your ears. Smashing performance and I do hope they play like this when i see them next year.

[@jp022x]

What are you talking about? All of the comments that aren't circle jerking this guys non existent talent are simply stating that Jimi and SRV did this song better...and truth is they did. Have you took the time to educate yourself on their performances of this song? If you did you'd realize every single lick this guy played was coped from either SRV or Jimi. Hell he even starts playing Jimi's Power to Soul towards the end. I think most of the people who aren't impressed by this realize that he isn't bringing anything original to the table (which i believe he could) because every lick was coming from SRV or Hendrix. He's not bad but he's not amazing either. (At least in this cover)

[@TheLilBolivian]

the truth is everyone steals licks from their heros but the point is to make all the licks flow in your own signature way. Sure the ability to do this is AMAZING but i believe creativity is more impressive and there is little to none here... i mean cmon... this isn't a srv tribute band... the guy is capable of being creative i wish he would have been....

[@morpheushill1908]

jp022x I've been playing guitar for 12 years now and I can tell you that man is talented especially based on one thing which is actually what you think is a negative. He played it exactly what it's like on the CD which is harder to do than adding on your own "flavor" because you don't have the ability to repeat exactly what was copied onto that track at that time. that takes talent. You people need to actually pick up an instrument and if you already have then actually play with a band before you try to critique other artist on something you know nothing about.

[@jacobtarring2455]

Mr White, I totally agree with you, I'm referring to previous comments about how shit certain people feel this performance is. Ok, so it's not Jimi Hendrix or SRV but bloody hell, to play like that still takes talent. I can't wait to see him and his band.

[@jp022x]

Mr White What track are you referring to? This is more a conglomeration of as many SRV licks as he could fit . My critique has less to do with his skill and more his dependence on SRV. He obviously has skill because you can't just pick up a guitar and play this. He's Kenny Wayne Shepherd not the SRV cover band, right? For me I feel like the highlights of his guitar playing are just straight from Stevie Ray's playing

[@theartist124]

The respect he shows for our true American legend, by playing all of those nuanced notes is so amazing and so cool!!!

[@bassinblue]

the artist Hendrix belongs to Britain. We discovered him first ;)

[@bluemonstr]

Kenny is one of the last great musician's to PROVE himself on his way up - not winning contests but showing what he could do with other musician's on stage (at the age of 13 no less). This guy has been doing blues since he's started - did his first album (that I know of) when he was 18 and he rocks. Does he sound like SRV? DAMN right he does because SRV was his MAJOR influence. This is what inspires MOST musicians. Jeez. Get off his back people. Just enjoy his music. It rocks.

[@michaelstein7427]

There's something completely satisfying about Kenny Wayne's guitar work. One reason I think is because his performances are flawless. I find his music very uplifting. That's Chris Layton on Drums. (Former drummer with SRV and Double Trouble), and the great Noah Hunt on vocals. (not sure who the bass player is).

[@LightenUpMcGraw]

Man this is powerful stuff, Jimi has provided such a great bunch of music for us to listen to and pay homage to as well. Love it!

[@adamepi8316]

This has to be my favourite youtube video ever. Gets better every time I watch it.

[@philipgregorysougles1744]

So what if he's influenced by SRV? Actually that's a good thing, most people wouldn't even be able to be influenced by SRV. Kenny kicks some major ass!

[@professormusica1109]

Influenced should not equal copying. You need to check out Joe Bonamassa dude. He developed his own sound. KWS has not done that.

[@jonnyroxx7172]

I know a lot of folks are thinking "This guy's just doing SRV doing Hendrix". Thing is, he's doing it WELL. He's got his own original tunes too, with his own style. I've seen him a few times live & he's always a crowd favorite. It's hard for me to be critical of a fellow guitarist that can project his passion for music & his love for his idols so fully & completely onstage. Peace. JR

[@Far2ManyDrugs]

my friends dad. left hendrix isle of wight dvd at his house and a day or 2 later i came up to the door and heard him jamming and he started playing voodoo chile. instead of going inside i just stood outside the door so he would just keep playing like no one was there. i'd never heard him bust out something like that, unless he was playing a show and doing covers (which he would make up verses to because he really only knew the chorus) he'd always do his own songs. i read a newspaper clip about him from the 70s and they described him as a mixture of bob dylan and hendrix. sad to think about how much other talent has slipped through the cracks...

[@VonBluesman]

Kenny, you knocked that one clean out of the park, way to go Louisiana Slugger. Rock on.

[@tylergibleon3247]

you can hear how heavily SRV influenced the both of them. it's amazing

[@lukeybo11]

He's a killer player!!! But this song is so common among blues/rock artists!! He killed it, but if you were to tell me it was a Stevie cover band I'd probably believe you. Like I said he killed it, but IMO he should've made it his own version, not Stevie's

[@muser01]

First came Jimi, God rest his awesome soul. Then, came Stevie Ray, God rest his beautiful soul. Then came.....meh....Kenny Wayne. Kenny's a talented kid, but people, c'mon. He is a mere hint of a fraction of the absofucklinglutely incredible and brilliant, innovative musicians that were the late Jimi and Stevie. God how my soul aches for those two precious American music icons.

[@muser01]

well, thanks.

[@labtide]

True but we still have Kenny around and i'm thankful for that.

[@juliechetty3641]

Too true there was only one Jimi and one Steve. Kenny is the next generation and the ledgends live on through Kenny who has some great stuff of his own.

[@lenn7272]

Umm i disagree, sorry. Kenny is great. Ive seen him play on many occasions , his fire cover he did with jerry cantrell was beast. Kenny can also play classical stuff like mozart on guitar. That he taught and trained himself to do, not many if any other guitarists can do that.

[@richardmbowman]

For the most part, I agree with ya. And I am a Jimi fan since the age of 13, and worshipper one year later when I saw and heard him play, for the last time, in Seattle. But they say that emulation is the greatest form of flattery. And this guy emulates JH better than anybody I'VE ever seen or heard. Trower, Randy Hanson, SRV....... Kenny's tribute to Jimi moved me. Of course, there's no comparison to The Master. There never has been, nor will be. But, play on Kenny. Peace out, from Seattle.

[@chiggsd9728]

This is way better than Vaughn or Hendrix versions. Sorry, just because those guys are dead doesn't mean to me that they are all that. I take guitar playing at face value and KWS is way more of a guitar beast then those guys.

[@juliamonroe4968]

Umm are you outta your fuckin mind? He can play, but better than jimi or Stevie , hell naw. May want to get your ears checked for real dude.

[@jimwill8589]

say chiggsD are you in elementary school? You need to listen to the works of Jimi and SRV before you open your mouth!

[@triffymetalas]

I also like this version more,however SRV and Jimi are legends ,however that says me nothing :P,at technical part for example guitarists like John Petrucci or Zakk Wylde are better than both Jimi and Stevie and this is a fact :P

[@juliamonroe4968]

No that is opinion, and ours are obviously very different. Zakk wylde can play, but in my opinion, his playing lacks passion and heart. Technical proficiency alone leaves me cold. Again this is just my opinion, obviously not everyone will agree, and some will disagree just to be contrary lol. It is what it is.....

[@triffymetalas]

y, I just mean that the technical part isn't so important because it's not so difficult to play the guitar conveniently and ..you know, but the thing that makes a guitarist great,is his style and the way they make their songs sound unique.Although I highly respect Jimi Hendrix and SVR and I like their styles,at this particular song ,kenny's style and the way he plays it says much more things to me,I can't be bored to listen it,I love it much more than the other 2 versions,but you are right this is my opinion.

[@HanafiElSha7toor]

Dude's amazing, his skills, his tone, his showmanship, everything!!

[@Pr0fess0rSasquatch]

Why does his guitar sound sound like it's being amplified from the back of a tin can?

[@Pr0fess0rSasquatch]

+Barackmed Alibama maybe it's the quality of this video but his tone just sounds kinda shitty to me, and it's not just the single coils. I've heard some great single coil tones but this guy's sound seems very thin

[@JohnnyCyberspace]

At least he didn't slaughter this song as bad as John Mayer did. Stevie Ray Vaughan is the only guitarist I've ever heard who comes close to how the master himself did it.

[@glasnost8863]

Lmao slaughter? His version kicked ass and you could never amount to anything he's ever achieved. Get over it

[@TheExiledTexan]

^ This. We owe Hendrix a lot, but he's pedestal'ed by guitarists far too often. In this case, I prefer SRV's interpretation to any of Jimi's.

[@ernieselke9951]

Much dumbness. There is a reason SRV pays homage to Jimi.

[@andrewlarson603]

I completely agree. Jimi was very creative and influencial in the annals of the electric guitar but I agree that he is too often put on a pedestal. As far as I'm concerned Stevie Ray blew circles around Hendrix in the arena of technical precision, soloing architecture and organization of ideas, and consistency in quality of performances. I also find that SRV's music resonates with me personally and yes, I feel SRV's version of Voodoo Child. (Slight Return) is definitive.

[@theASTRADELIC]

[@precbsfender]

Purple Haze That's not what Eric Clapton or BB King said about Kenny they both said the complete opposite! They both said too watch this kid closely because he has what it takes to be one of the greats of all times.

[@precbsfender]

BLAH BLAH BLAH fucking cry baby fucktard!

[@uvhaqrfhry]

What a vocalist !!! Great performance .His voice seems to Hendrix , awesome !!

[@bsdaldal]

This guy is kinda boring. I mean, when you listen to Matt Schofield or Josh Smith their phrasing surprises you. This guy plays Jimi and SRV licks (which is ok) but that doesn't take him to the next level. He is quite ok as a guitar player, Some of his original songs (like blue on black) are tasty but overall he is not a very innovative guitarist. Also when he plays Jimi or SRV licks he lacks the fire those guys had.

[@precbsfender]

Nobody had near the fire that Jimi had I mean damn think about it Jimi was doing this shit as far back as 1968....Now every guitar player with talent has to do there version of "Jimi's Voodoo Child slight return"...It just shows you how far ahead of the game Hendrix actually was...Jimi's music is as fresh today as it was in 68... and 100 years from now people will still be in total aw of Hendrix...

[@jamesderoc6717]

PRE CBS STRATOCASTER'S nobody will ever play like jimi , but this aint bad

[@precbsfender]

Agreed... Kenny is a great blues guitarist but no Hendrix..

[@Dante3085]

wedge antilles When you watch these debates about skill on the internet over and over again you just realize it's all subjective and debating about it is nonsense.

[@3DGFORLYFE]

wedge antilles I agree with you man. He didn't do anything special in my eyes. He didn't capture your soul like most blues guitarist do. I was honestly expecting him to go off solo wise instead of just pretty much improvising on the main riff. I get what your saying you aren't comparing him to Jimi or SRV... he just didn't capture you as if you were listening to Robin Trower, Joe Bonamassa, or Eric Clapton. Just like John Mayor hes an ok blues guitarist but nothing special.

[@cre5524]

I have seen KWS at least 4 times and he has been on Fire every time!!! Like SRV, Kenny shows the deepest respect to all the Blues and Rock Legends! I can’t wait to see him again!!!!

[@billywillgo69]

No where near as good as Hendrix... not even close.

[@gregg604]

KWS is awesome! Just saw him at the Bedford Blues Festival. He blew the crowd away with Vodoo Child!

[@TheInboil]

if you cant sing and play it Mr Sheppard, stay home. Especially when all your doing is a bad srv version--note, for, note, over, and over, and, over...

[@TheInboil]

mike hanold so, what im getting is that you are concerned for my hearing loss do to excessive skull fucking? Thanks Mike. I really appreciate your concern, though I'm not sure how this will help the talentless mr. Sheppard. Ps, what exactly is a , "knob fuck?" thanks again.

[@MegaDog500]

TheInboil A base ball bat up side your head would be a start,sorry fuck knob,your welcome

[@TheInboil]

mike hanold OK got it. So, a fuck knob is merely a euphemism for the act of hitting one on the side of the head with a baseball (one one Mike) bat? Wow. This is why I love the internet--you learn something new every day. But still, this will not help Mr Sheppard with his god awful, beat to death version of this song. IF you look at Mr Layton's face, you can clearly see how miserable he is having to listen to the horrid wails coming from that poor Stratocaster. Mr Sheppard needs to retire and spend his time preaching the gospel of 3 chords and 4 licks, which is what he has been playing for 20 years. Ok Mike, you have a great day now.

[@precbsfender]

So what if Kenny's not singing on his voodoo child cover not all guitarist always sing! Anyhow its not like he cant sing he just prefers not to on some songs! and your comment about Kenny copying SRV is just ignorant he just showing his respect for Stevie's version of Voodoo child many musicians do covers!

Just saw him at the Holland International Blues Festival in Grolloo. My favourite act of the entire weekend. More than brilliant.

I've had the pleasure of seeing these guys perform a few times now, and have enjoyed every minute of their shows.. Thanks for sharing this awesome clip!
