"..there's 12 notes, most people either go up or go down; in my case, sideways!"

Some records that stay in history are born out of many things. Naturally, there is the artist's fundamental input, first and foremost; then, almost due to, perhaps, astral alignments, more talented elements get added to the aforementioned alignments, at the right place and at the right time.

It's always refreshing to see renowned Blues/Rock superstars like the American guitarist and singer-songwriter Kenny Wayne Shepherd putting so much craft, attention and dedication to their music, despite his undisputed fame and success, accumulated during almost 30 years in the music business.
 
Shepherd had reached global stardom already in the early stages of his career, thanks to the hit single Blue On Black, included in the Trouble Is.. album, a body of work that has smashed several record selling figures and had a special celebration in 2022, for its 25th Anniversary since its release date.
