[Americana Highways] Interview: Kenny Wayne Shepherd on Collaborating With Bobby Rush for “Young Fashioned Ways”

In March, Bobby Rush and Kenny Wayne Shepherd released their collaborative album titled Young Fashioned Ways. Its intentional multi-generational approach brought together multi-Grammy winning Blues artist Rush, who is 91 years old, and much younger, but well seasoned artist Shepherd, who is also a multi-Grammy nominated artist. The album includes new blues songs that the two wrote together, and also totally new takes on some of Rush’s previous work. The title track, for instance, is based on a Muddy Waters’ song, itself a take on a Willie Dixon original, but on the album retitled “Young Ways.”

There's an eight-page booklet in Kenny Wayne Shepherd's latest CD, Dirt On My Diamonds volume 2, which includes the lyrics to the seven songs co-written with Kenny. It was impressive to read through them first before listening to anticipate how Kenny will craft the tunes to give them life.
