Yes Kenny Wayne does somewhat sound similar to Stevie Ray sometimes, but what he really did was take Stevie Ray's music to the next level. All the critics out there are jealous of KWS cause they probly can't play half as good

I agree to a point, Red, but blues has been around so long that I think it's all sounding the same these days. Or at least sounding like something someone else has already done. But you're right, KWS definitely focuses on Stevie particularly.

Maybe so, but I have NEVER heard an original lick from the guy. Listen to him, every single thing his fingers play was originally a SRV lick.

@bigdaddystratman i honestly don't dig john mayer or slash at all and i promise you that it is not from jealousy.. i think the best living guitarist is john frusciante based on creativity. my problem with slash and mayer is tone you can add clapton to the list of rip-offs. kenny wayne pays his respect to the innovators but not because of lack of creativity.. mayer just can't go anywhere new and his tone is not distinct enough to be jealous of. i am jealous of duane allman. slash is a joke.

@wmc1103 Caught them opening for King's X at a small
place on the lakefront outside N.O. in '91 . Absolutely
fantastic to see both of these bands in a small club
up close. Eric must have only been about 16. Love
the way Eric and Gene play with the guitar flipped
with high strings on top.
If you play - try it sometime - upside down and backwards
Whole different perspective!

@yourunclehank1 kudos. i saw eric gales open up for kenny in around 2000 in athens ga. great show!!
If you're talking about the sound quality, then I'm with you all the way. But if you're talking about the song, then go boil an egg.
