While We Cry (Lockdown Version) - KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD

Here's Kenny with a new "Lockdown" version of While We Cry.

[@andreaknowles4507]

My husband, blue's guy, and I fell in love with KWS when we heard Blue on Black. Saw KWS twice in Charlotte damn near 20 years apart. I lost my husband to COVID-19 February 19, 2019. This song will always remind me how much I love him.

[@mickbowen5521]

A hug and a prayer to you and yours from Tennessee.

[@colinparks619]

Sorry to hear that ❤

[@sherrilltechnology]

I am very sorry for your loss, it is amazing how music can do that, I lost my Dad 2 years ago and everytime I hear CCR it reminds me of him!!

[@Anarchyangel01]

Today is a hard day... Feb 12. My big brothers birthday. He passed away 2 years ago. I felt so much when I listened to this years ago, watching him learn this on the guitar, but it is nothing compared to what I feel right now listening and watching this without him, on his birthday. It's even more beautiful. I understand every single note and chord now. I felt this to my soul like ne er before. he sits in heaven on his birthday and watches us while we cry. 🤷‍♀️😭🎶💔🎸 🎸💔

[@ediaz870]

This is my wife's breast cancer anthem. Everyday I hear her playing this! Thank you Mr. Shepard!

[@lesshrubb203]

For those of us who love expressive guitar playing, rather than 100 notes per minute shredding, life doesn’t get much better...

[@timhoovermusicman]

Yep, doesn't always have too be full race...😊 beautiful and melodic can fulfill me too❤

[@d.bogart3701]

Angels are playing though his hands - this mans got soul.

[@fredn2735]

If Kenny Wayne Shepherd was your neighbor and he was playing in this garage and it was cranked up, would you complain? Hellcat no!!

[@kewlbns69]

only if he didn't invite me over lol.

[@louisaccardi6808]

I'm not sure.

[@gpwalltickler8591]

Fred N pull up a pew and crack out the stogie time and a few JDs 🎸🎸

[@markusfinkler9625]

I'd take a hell of a lesson 😉😁👍

[@Veni1229]

Karen would. And she's everywhere. :(

[@glenmyrold5509]

I distinctly remember the first time I heard track #7 in the car, "Right now I'd like to play a song for you. This is a song that I wrote. It's an instrumental called While We Cry". I actually pulled over and played it again so I could hear it better with the engine off and my eyes closed. I remember telling my buddies "Listen to this kid, I think he's onto something here". I was right. Thank you Kenny for the many years of dedication and inspiration. God bless, and keep on rocking!

[@gregkopacz2136]

I was sitting at my buddy's lake house on Lake Livingston in Texas. He told me I need to listen to this. He pulled me into the patio at dusk, pulled put the CD, poured me a whiskey on the rocks, lit me a smoke and said "shut up and listen". That was 20 years ago. Here I am, 20 years later, sitting on my patio, with a whiskey on the rocks in hand after a long day still enjoying every bit of it.

[@dmichellefriday6300]

🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥😘💯

[@euan1234]

first time I heard it was on a Fender Anniversary CD. Had signature tracks from greats such as Buddy Guy, Buddy Holly, Hendrix, Jeff Beck - and then this incredible performance by someone I had never heard of at the time.

[@FERNANDOBOARETO]

There is nothing more beautiful than stratocaster sound

[@sd5775]

Yes there is. A Les Paul. Just depends on the player and what they prefer. They are both beautiful in different ways.

[@aarongaynor2002]

Facts 🔥

[@tiki_trash]

Maybe a Tele?

[@guitarlusteuphoria4507]

Depends on who's playing....lol...I can make a Strat sound really bad !

[@Dashcam_Drivers_Switzerland]

FERNANDOBOARETO except from an Gretsch 😎😜

[@john_trimble78]

Just an old East TX dude here chillin, jammin' with KWS, trying to keep up. This song means the world to me. It has no words and yet says so much. Ty for all of the wonderful music. Peace be upon you brother. You brought it to me.

[@reginalawery9845]

Kenny Wayne Sheppard is a musical genius and I love everything he has every recorded

[@bonsbabe]

Moves my soul to tears as only Kenny can do...I hope you never stop playing!

[@leeallen9182]

Kenny Wayne. That was soul moving. I think you're better now than you were on the cruise. Stay sweet and behave 😁

[@stevemorgan1566]

Damn Goosebumps,,,, you know you can play up and down the fretboard all day long blah blah blah, but when you can get a guitar to tell a story and cry you've done something. ✌️

[@steveburley3738]

Thank you sir for this moment of sanity.

[@germainewill83]

I believe I need to go back to the guitar shop, because mine don't have 90% of these notes. Wowzers Kenny, just Wowzers

[@porkbelly0713]

mine doesn't either

[@deansley174]

🤣🤣🤣👍

[@MM-tt3np]

sorry, it's in your hands ;)

[@brendabernstein286]

Love your reply. Kenny IS freakin awesome.

[@justinreaume5515]

I think this is the best sounding version

[@lovemytide45]

Beautiful. So much emotion coming out of his guitar that words aren’t necessary. Unbelievable that he wrote this as a teen.

[@bbtruth2161]

26 year old song and he still feels it, every note. Still sounds great 26 years later.

[@lesshrubb203]

A thing of beauty, is a joy forever...

[@carolluce6516]

YESSSS PLAY ON KWYS

[@suzysrvgirl4ever164]

Just a really beautiful song and he feels every note he plays! Just spectacular!🎵🙋🏻‍♀️🎶

[@toddkint6341]

This was the 1st song that made me cry from listening when I was 15…. Many thanks ❤

[@mattyspaghetti449]

I listened to his Ledbetter Heights album 10,000 times.. what a player...

[@davemccall8956]

No words necessary, I felt every word you said Thanks

[@alummis]

And it’s exactly what I needed to hear.

[@stevetrivago]

Always an ear for sweet blues ☮️

[@danielschillinger4109]

This badass is for sure one of the best blues guitar players

[@joshscott3271]

Sweet sound of cherubs singing songs of glory and love... We all need a little more of that heaven on the earth, thank God for your heart of songs Kenny, blessed bro. Winning!!!

[@christophervincent8420]

Beautiful brother. As a Native Louisiana Cajun from Southern Louisiana; your music and inspiration does us proud. In fact, during Covid, literally while I had covid, I wrote a song that was inspired by you and Chris Stapleton style of music. Yours predominantly on guitar style, but man... some one from Soldiers Songs and Voices told me it sound like something coming right out of Nashville today. You are an inspiration sir. Even though I'm a bit older, your talent inspires.

[@kentbeery4941]

Just pure extreme and excellent playing from the Soul.......

[@maureenpate6770]

For Real Couldn't agree more ❤️❤️

[@joelstevens370]

I can remember seeing him playing this at the Red River Revel when he was like twelve!!! Thanks for that from home my friend!!!

[@moongirlmama]

I could listen to this all day long.

[@HeROsiNhEaVeN]

We’re always in for a treat when KWS picks up his guitar.....🙏🏻🎸

[@MyRosann]

That's beautiful Kenny!! Thank you for playing for us!! Let your Soul Shine

[@bonsbabe]

I'm seeing Kenny next month!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited, I won't be able to sleep until then!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@timhoovermusicman]

I blight tickets march 6th 2020... For a show in june... Finally got to go in march of 2022😊❤

[@oldska8ter]

great guitar sound and a 64 Dodge...yeah baby!!

[@kensmith9597]

The greatest thing I’ve ever witnessed on utube. Period.

[@lnugent1000]

Awesome, thanks. I saw him in Memphis in the 90s.....love it.

[@lawrencebalestreri673]

Without a doubt the best guitarist of our time ! Plays with so much heart. Thank you for sharing your gift with us !

[@baltescamilla853]

Saw KWS at the Greek Theatre in LA (outdoor venue), pouring rain on an August night a few years back, UNFORGETTABLE!!!

[@MrMshep79]

Thank you Sir! I needed this song today.

[@bluesbubba7429]

Beautiful playing Kenny. On top of that, you are a Mopar guy. I had a 68 Dodge Super Bee in high school in the late 70's. I kick myself every time I think about it, because I sold it for tuition money for college. Saw you back years ago in Devore, CA with Double Trouble, Ted Nugent and ZZ Top. It was cross between a biker / NRA convention and blues. I loved it. You did Voodoo Child. You brought the house down.

[@elenaskrypnikova3472]

Such a good sound, even in the garage :))) Bless you, Kenny Wayne, stay safe You and your family 🌷🌷🌷

[@PaulRJ]

Thank you Kenny, fantastic.

[@austeze]

Absolute masterpiece. Only you know the words; you personalize it for us all, by allowing us to attribute our own emotions and thoughts, with your melody. You sir, are true talent!

[@cindyanderson5646]

You move souls. You are a angel. God bless.

[@pakethdr]

Expressive, soulful. One of the top guitar solos of all time. Thx for posting this.

[@neilsthepoet]

Thank you so much Thanks for bringing it home...... real 🎸🎶💕

[@johnnutbey4093]

Kenny, That song still gives me the goose bumps.Just like the first time I ever heard it. Thanks and God Bless.

[@carolluce6516]

[@rockartgeorge]

Can't get enough of this timeless tune. MANY thanks Kenny

[@andomuziek]

[@markgriffin9699]

[@cavscout62]

I’ve been watching and listening since you were a kid Kenny and I went to The Woodlands outside of Houston to see you, Train, and someone else I don’t remember. You just keep getting better and better man. I’d love to see you and Mark Broussard do something together, man your axe and his voice! Play on man.

[@bluezjc50]

[@rosecarter5952]

No words ❤

[@ronsmith1364]

[@scuba_sam6321]

Soul Shine.. Allman Bros

[@neilsthepoet]

Ron Smith go Ron!!

[@brianpeterson9923]

F**k yeah... needed this.

[@debralondon8380]

Such a talented clean playing guitarist...when someone develops the kws guitar DNA vaccine and I will be first in line!!!!

[@kimmcintosh3449]

Now that is a vaccine I would take

[@Spazdaaz999]

DJ Spaz closes with this masterpiece often. Neighbors clap and hoot at this. 😂 One of my favs. 💜

[@jamesramirez8685]

Mr. Shepherd, thank you. That is beautiful!

[@Bugzysmom]

I saw this 'boy' at a small club on Granville St in Vancouver in ?1995, I was obsessed with both him and Johnny Lang - 2 amazing prodigies. This has to be one of THE sexiest songs I have ever heard. I am glad to see him still doing it justice as a Man. To me TBH this song is just SEX foreplay, hard going and a calm down. I am blown away that he wrote this before he was 16! Sexiest song in the world that has no vocal or anything other than a skillfully played guitar - I am so happy to see him still playing at his level

[@NanaHuggs]

Good Lord what freaking rock have I've been living under?!? I didn't even know who this Kenny guy was until I saw thos video on "things that might interest me" SERIOUSLY WTF HAVE I'VE BEEN!

[@pjcooper5613]

Even better all these years later Brother! Inspiring to say the least!

[@hanniehagebeuk9596]

Goosbumps this song goes deep into your sole.🎸❤

[@lisakn2712]

Wow. Best version I have ever heard. I saw KWS years ago in Davenport Iowa at the Adler theater. Great show!! ❤️

[@bobbymccourt6794]

Sooo goddamn good......Having a beer on my deck with this playing. Doesn’t get much better than that.....

[@urago69]

A truly gifted and lyrical player carrying on in the tradition of Gary Moore, Hendrix, Clapton and all the blues greats.

[@m.e.thomson1448]

My thoughts exactly🤟

[@yabowfarmz5283]

This has always been my favorite KWS song, but since my father passed Wednesday hearing this song and crying it out seem to be the only way I can get out bed each day... thank you Kenny

[@michaelgreen5206]

Love your guitar playing, and thanks for keeping the Blues alive!!

[@dannypembroke2372]

Absolute mustard, Kenny. Thanks.

[@jimlastname]

Thank you KWS. Just plug in and play. Pure.

[@rbszx14r56]

Beautiful guitar music ,so easy listening And cool Mopar in the background

[@alummis]

I wish the Kenny Wayne Shepherd band could come to Alberta Canada.

[@robertf3340]

Thank you Kenny!

[@mariasmoon777]

Thank you Kenny Wayne Shepherd...😔✌

[@74dartman13]

Awesome playing and great taste in cars, too!👍😎🎸🎶

[@petermayonejr.3420]

Beautiful, soulful playing, brother!

[@slk8322]

KENNY WAYNE THANK YOU , LOVE BLUES THAT TOUCHES THE SOUL PRAYING FOR ALL 🤟🙏🏻, all will cry at some point in life

[@brandoncollier9885]

And for 7 mins all is well with the world. 👏👏👏

[@josephwilliams273]

Not only am I loving his music I am digging that car behind him as well , I ain't exactly sure but I think thats a Dodge 330 A8 Max Wedge Hemi , they are very rare to say the least and fast as hell to boot .

[@wendylucka2397]

I cried CV through SRV's, KWS's is the same feeling! Thankyou for that!!

[@genva4577]

This man kicks ass 😎❤

[@riverbankfisher]

When I die I want this sublime tune played over my final moments above mother earth. Such a mournful yet achingly beautiful work of art. I never get tired of hearing it. On a completely unrelated note, would I be correct to guess that the guitar maestro is standing beside a 1985 Mercedes 500SL of the W126 family? If my guess is right, a backstage pass would be my only wish haha.

[@CanOpiner]

Love the 1964 Dodge 330 and of course your music.

[@deborahmbell9063]

BEAUTIFUL 😍 Brother 💙💙

[@lisagoshorn6578]

Thank you thank you thank you KWS this has made me feel so much better today ♥️

[@markarnold5210]

Just Incredible ! 💪❤❤❤❤

[@ginaalwaysavip1177]

[@buddylobos5277]

Friends of mine here in Santa Fe, play Les Paul's'. They say I play" garage rock" because I play car parts - a Fender. Beautiful man.

[@georgegonzalez3186]

Right on my brother! Right on!

[@bradbogey7972]
