Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne: Inspired By The Blues

Earthy blue hues are in abundance as Kenny Wayne plays piano, organ and sings with a core team of Russell Jackson/g, Joy DiMarco.dr, Yuji Ihara/g, Dae Babcock/ts-bs, Bob Tildesley/tp,  and guests BillyBranch/harp, Duke Robilard/g and Lynne Chwyl/voc for this set of rollicking tracks. With harp and a low ceilinged mood, Wayne tells his stories on “I Knew I’d Be Playing the Blues” and takes you to Chicago on “That Girl Needs Help. The saxes swing to the NO boogie shuffle of “Jimmy and Johnny” and the swaying “Mr. Blueberry Hill” while “Lake Country Boogie” beats you 8 to the bar. A concert closing track of “Georgia On My Mind” ends the album in a churchy mood, giving a Sunday Morning feeling to the southern sunset.
