WATCH: US star Kenny Wayne Shepherd heads to Sussex for album anniversary date
- last year
Kenny Wayne Shepherd heads to the UK to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his seminal album Trouble Is… Dates include Bexhill’s De La Warr Pavilion on April 22.
“The album was pretty monumental for us,” Kenny recalls. “It sold millions of copies and is still big now. We had a string of hit singles. Blue On Black had a massive run at number one. For us, the idea was how do you follow up the success of (1995’s debut) Ledbetter Heights, and that was an album that took us by surprise. It ended up selling a million copies and after that there was the pressure of what do you do next, but between them the two albums really were the foundation of all that's happened since.
