Kenny Wayne Shepherd is a native of Shreveport, La. He is a self-taught guitar player and does not read sheet music. When he was growing up, Shepherd's father was a local radio personality who had access to a huge collection of music. When Shepherd was 7, he began to learn to play the guitar while he listened to his father's music. After meeting Stevie Ray Vaugh at a local concert, he became a guitar enthusiast. At age 13, Bryan Lee invited Shepherd to play on stage with him. The performance impressed the Giant Records owner so much that Shepherd was signed to a multiple album contract. Since then, Shepherd has had seven singles on
Billboard
's Top 10 chart, and he holds the record for the longest-running blues album on the charts with
Trouble Is…
