The band followed up with "Trouble Is...", which also reached the top of the blues charts and featured "Blue on Black," a single that spent 17 consecutive weeks at #1 on the rock charts.

In total, the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band has released eight albums, including the 2014 release "Goin' Home," which hit #1 on the Billboard Blues charts.

Gibson awards, the Blues Foundation's Keeping The Blues Alive award and two Blues Music awards. He has released six #1 blues albums and a string of #1 mainstream rock singles.
