Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear the real blues recorded at Blues Fest on October 6, 2024.
John Shepherd has been playing at Blues Fest for many years so it was great to get him back in 2024. As always, he played an amazing set, really knocking it out of the park. And, of course, that's Craighead Forest Park.
I had already arranged to sing with his band on a couple of songs but he had something like a concept of a set list so he told me not to let him forget. When I heard him play "As The Years Go Passing By" his guitar knocked me out so much that I knew that was the song I wanted to follow.
Playing with John were Mike Cobbs on bass and Brian Browder, drums, both exceptional Northeast Arkansas musicians.
"As The Years Go Passing By" was written by Peppermint Harris for Fenton Robinson, who first recorded it in 1959. Fenton Robinson was a Little Rock guitarist who also played on the Larry Davis hit, "Texas Flood", later covered by Stevie Ray Vaughan.
So now, here's John Shepherd playing "As The Years Go Passing By" live at Blues Fest.
