"BLUE ON BLACK" - KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD's SIGNATURE SONG - Lexington, Ky - 10/9/26

The brilliant blues guitarist KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD has had 9 albums chart at #1 on Billboard's Blues Albums chart since his debut album in 1995. "Blue on Black" - which was written by Kenny Wayne with Mark Shelby & Tia Sillers - was a track on his 2nd studio album, 1997's "Trouble Is...". In 1998 the song was released as a single and went to #1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, staying atop that chart for 6 weeks. That same year "Blue on Black" was named Billboard's "Rock Track of the Year"! When Kenny Wayne Shepherd brought his band to the Lexington Opera House in Lexington, Kentucky on October 9th - as part of their "Ledbetter Heights: 30th Anniversary Tour" - they played "Blue on Black" as their first encore song. Noah Hunt was the lead vocalist and, of course, Kenny Wayne was on lead guitar and played a brilliant solo (check out the close-ups of his guitar work!). . Night falls and I'm alone Skin, yeah, chilled me to the bone You turned and you ran, oh yeah Oh, slipped right from my hand Hey, blue on black, tears on a river Push on a shove, it don't mean much Joker on jack, match on a fire Cold on ice, it's a dead man's touch Whisper on a scream Doesn't change a thing Doesn't bring you back Blue on black, oh yeah, blue on black Blind, oh, now I see Truth, lies, and in between Wrong can't be undone Oh, slipped from the tip of your tongue Hey, blue on black, tears on a river Push on a shove, it don't mean much Joker on jack, match on a fire Cold on ice, it's a dead man's touch Whisper on a scream Doesn't change a thing Doesn't bring you back Blue on black, oh blue on black ...
